Property Description
This is the one-of-a-kind home you have been waiting for! This classic Hollywood home is very different from any other. Sitting prominently on one of the largest lots and right in the geographic center of this unique neighborhood, this lovely home with its quintessential California style offers everything you need to live comfortably on one floor. The home boasts almost 1800 square feet on one level. Enter through a stunning Mediterranean-style front door into the extremely large living room believed to have once been used as the local post office and general store! Vaulted ceilings, beautiful built-ins and a magnificent carved wood fireplace are the first things you will notice, but the unique details do not end there! Beamed ceilings, wide wood moldings, and gorgeous pine floors that continue throughout the home add to the charm and character. There is also a lovely and bright formal dining room, large powder room complete with laundry facilities and extra wide hallways. The updated kitchen floods with natural sunlight and features a comfy banquette for family dinners and a rear door for easy access to the rear yard and patio. The master bedroom is comfortable and spacious with lots of windows providing ample light. The second bedroom features lovely built-ins as well. The third bedroom features an additional fireplace surrounded by beautiful Moravian tile. The newer windows bring natural sunlight into the home while central air conditioning keeps the home cool during hot summer months. In addition, there is a full, unfinished basement with a finished bonus room and powder room perfect for a gym/ playroom/office or den. To top it off, the backyard is lush and private and features a distinctive fencing technique that creates a private yet airy oasis for outside relaxing or entertaining. The current owner also widened the driveway to accommodate 3+ cars and added a shed for additional storage. This home is located in the award winning Abington School district and within walking distance to the Huntingdon Valley Shopping center (home to Giant, Rite-Aid, Starbucks, Iron Hill Brewery and more) as well as close proximity to major highways and the PA turnpike. Rydal and Jenkintown Train Stations are nearby and allow for an easy commute to Center City or the Airport.
