About This Home

As of November 2021

Welcome to Beech Avenue. This 7-bedroom 4 full bathroom, 2 half bath center hall colonial was built for the builder himself and is located on a quiet tree lined street in gorgeous Elkins Park. This classic home comes with a separate, buildable lot attached to it. The sellers have already worked with their attorneys and the township to have the necessary paperwork prepared to submit for subdivision approval. Enter the home through the front into your expansive foyer and onto classic wide plank hardwood floors. The charm continues in the living room with original stained-glass windows, marble fireplace and ornate hardwood built in shelving. The dining room area is expansive with plenty of room for entertaining. There is a cozy den that could be used as an office or flex space. The kitchen is a nice size and looks out into the expansive back yard. Off the kitchen is a convenient first floor powder room. Access the yard from here or also come in from the 2-car garage. Continue to the second floor you will find 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and generous closet space. The third floor has the last bedroom and full bathroom. The partially finished lower level has access to the outside and creates additional living space. Each floor of the home contains a cedar closet, perfect for extra clothing storage. The home is equipped with central air, gas cooking, oil forced air heating, and gas water heater. Situated from just half a mile from downtown Elkins Park, the regional rail station, bakeries, cafes, restaurants and multiple parks, puts this home an ideal location.
