About This Home
As of April 2026Welcome to 213 Royal Avenue, a truly one-of-a-kind historic property in the heart of Wyncote, set on over an acre of beautifully preserved and versatile grounds. Originally part of the storied “Lifeland” and "Wasafarm" estates dating back to the late 1800s, this remarkable offering blends rich history, creative space, and modern updates into a rare opportunity unlike anything else you'll see.
The property includes a charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath tenant cottage, offering approximately 1,250 square feet of warm and inviting light-filled living space. Inside, you’ll find original wood floors, a traditional layout with separate living and dining areas, and charming eat-in kitchen with brand new backsplash and butcher block countertops...perfectly suited for comfortable everyday living. The home itself sits elevated with an expansive deck overlooking the luscious grounds and surrounding landscape, creating a peaceful and private retreat. What truly sets this property apart is the extraordinary, fully restored multi-level barn—an artist’s true dream and a rare architectural centerpiece. Spanning three levels and equipped with central heat throughout, the barn features soaring 22-foot vaulted ceilings, skylights, multiple studio spaces, a workshop, and even a hoist system for large-scale projects. Whether used for creative pursuits, a home business, or a unique entertaining venue, this space offers endless possibilities. Set on approximately 1.04 acres, the additional outbuildings—including a renovated chicken coop with electricity and a former greenhouse—further expand the property’s flexibility for hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or those seeking a private compound-style setting. Thoughtful updates ensure peace of mind, including newer roofing on both the home (2018) and barn (2019), updated HVAC systems, repaved driveway, and improvements to key areas of the property. Ideally located within walking distance to parks and approximately one mile from the Jenkintown-Wyncote SEPTA station, providing convenient access to Center City Philadelphia, major universities, and regional transit—blending suburban tranquility with urban accessibility. A truly special property to call home!!
