About This Home
As of December 2021Welcome home to 226 Shelmire! This well-appointed and updated Jenkintown Colonial offers 4 large bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a wonderfully manicured yard in Abington School District. Enter through the front door and step inside the stately living room, accentuated by original hardwood floors that flourish in natural light and a gas fireplace that provides seasonal heat and year-round decor. Off the living room is a formal dining room, featuring chair rail and a modern pendant chandelier. The dining room was just painted and ready to host! Towards the rear is the kitchen, which offers updated countertops and a breakfast nook that fits 2-3 barstools for a quick meal or to accompany guests during a hosted event. A tiled backsplash and stainless steel appliance package make this kitchen ready for your next home-cooked meal. Behind the kitchen is a nice sized addition featuring a tiled floor and a powder room. This room could function as a study, office, den, fitness room or play space as it fits in perfectly between the kitchen and the fabulous deck off the rear yard. Upstairs you will find an en-suite main bedroom that offers open-concept closet/storage and a large 4-piece bathroom. The three front bedrooms are well-sized and all offer a full-sized closet.. The 1st two bedrooms offer hardwood floors that match the lower level. The 3rd bedroom at the end of the hall features newly installed carpet and currently stores the washer and dryer. Outside, you could not find a better yard at this price point. The total lot is 174 feet deep and should be considered an oasis as it offers a newer deck, a small patio, a shed and a wealth of space to cover all your outside needs. The basement is finished and has a walk-out landing off the stairs. The roof was installed in 2018, so you'll have nothing to worry about for quite a while. All mechanicals are neatly hidden, allowing a nice private bonus space or rec room. Stop in at the Open House Sunday 10/10 from 10am-12pm!
