Welcome to 279 Runner Street – a lovingly maintained, 3-story home in the desirable McKinley neighborhood of Jenkintown. Located in the highly regarded Abington School District, and just minutes from public transportation, highways, and easy access to Center City Philadelphia, this location offers unbeatable convenience.

Set back from the street with a large, grassy front yard, a private driveway, and a welcoming bay window, this home is as cute as can be from the curb. Step inside the first floor to find a cozy living room with vaulted ceilings a large bay window that floods the space with natural light. One step up leads to a spacious dining area and open kitchen with abundant cabinetry and great flow between the spaces. A sliding glass door brings in tons of natural light and leads to the rear deck creating an inviting atmosphere for everyday living or entertaining.

Down the stairs takes to directly to the laundry area and power room then into a family room addition with stone accent wall and sliding door access to the large rear yard. This level also offers a small office space and interior access to the garage. The top floor features three generously sized bedrooms, all with great windows and closets and a large hall bathroom with a tub/shower combo and linen closet. The finished basement includes a rec room with endless potential—ideal as a second living space, playroom, exercise or entertainment area—along with ample storage and mechanicals.

This is an Estate Sale and is being sold as-is, where-is – The original owners loved this home for many years and it is full of character and charm. A great spot for a new generation to create their modern dream home to enjoy for years to come.
