Home sweet home! A classic and timeless craftsman built in 1925, nestled in a quaint neighborhood in the Abington School District, has been updated and restored with modern amenities while still preserving its historical charm. With a flagstone front porch, it is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet evening relaxing in a rocking chair with a glass of wine. The original oak front door is one of many elements that brings character to this home. As you step inside, you will find original oak floors that are accented by walnut inlays that stretch from the living room all the way into the kitchen. The living room creates a warm and cozy space next to a gas fireplace surrounded by built-in shelving. From the living room sits the adjacent dining room which features a decorative chair rail and is the perfect place to make memories around the dining room table. The kitchen, renovated in 2014, highlights the original butcher block and marble countertops, crown molding, a coffered ceiling, open shelving and cabinets that extend to the 9ft ceilings, reverse osmosis filtration system and a farmhouse sink. A full bathroom, located on the first floor, was also restored and it services the two bedrooms. Also located on the first floor, an updated laundry room with newer washer and dryer makes laundry easy and convenient. On the second floor, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, and a loft area with carpet that can be used as a family room or playroom. The second-floor full bathroom was also renovated featuring marble and subway tile shower with a glass door, heated floor, custom shelving, and a soapstone countertop. For additional storage, an unfinished basement provides extra space for all your needs. Other recent updates made to the interior of the home include new paint throughout, new plumbing, updated electrical (2014), updated front widows (2018), a whole home surge protector, new solid core doors on the first floor, high efficiency gas boiler (2013), gas hot water heater (2020) and in 2013 a roof was installed on both the house and garage. Smart technology has been integrated on all the light switches that were converted to Lutron Caseta smart dimmers. These switches allow automations and commands that can turn all the lights on or off as well as settings for an ambient scene. The home also includes both the Nest thermostat and Ring doorbell. All these features can be controlled remotely from any smartphone and/or tablet. Step out into the backyard and onto an updated patio that overlooks the yard with a fire pit and is surrounded by a newly installed, stained fence. A detached one car garage with cabinets keeps your car protected from the elements and can even be used as a workshop or for additional storage. This home is in a great neighborhood and is a short five-minute walk to the train to Center City and nearby local restaurants and shopping. Are you ready to make this house your home?
