140 Heacock Ln Wyncote, PA 19095

Have you ever longed for the old world charm of a vintage Victorian, yet want all the modern amenities of a newer home? You'll find the best of both worlds combined in this turn of the (last) Century Victorian twin! Located on a picturesque street surrounded by other homes of a similar era, it's perfectly located in walking distance to the Wyncote/Jenkintown train station (with the best scheduled service in the entire network to downtown Philadelphia, Temple University and/or the airport). This spacious Twin lives like a single-family house, with nearly 2,000 square feet of living space. Delightful details abound as you approach the home, from the gingerbread trim to the multi-colored cedar-shake siding & the welcoming front porch. Inside, the first floor is surprisingly open with a large entry foyer, living room with built-in bookshelves and a large formal dining room. A powder room is neatly tucked under the staircase, while the updated kitchen is surprisingly large with granite counters, all the necessary stainless steel appliances & a breakfast bar for two. There is also a covered side porch for dining al-fresco and a deck out back looking out on the tiered rear yard. Upstairs, the master bedroom was created from 2 rooms and now incorporates 2 closets and a distinct sitting room. The full bath on this floor was completely updated, yet retains a vintage claw foot tub (with shower). There is a 2nd bedroom overlooking the front yard, with 2 more large bedrooms (and ample closet space) and another full bath on the 3rd floor. The home was recently enhanced with a high-efficiency (lower utility bills), gas-fired HVA/C system (yes, central A/C)! The wiring has also been updated and the property already has a radon remediation system installed. It really is the perfect blend of old & new, artfully retaining the original character. You will love to call this home!
