About This Home

As of November 2025

It doesn’t get any cuter than this! Nestled in the desirable Northwoods section of Cheltenham Township, this brick Colonial offers storybook curb appeal and thoughtful updates. Step inside to a welcoming living room with inlaid hardwood floors, a bay window, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The dining room features wainscoting and French doors that open to a large deck overlooking a flat, spacious, fully fenced backyard — perfect for entertaining, barbecues, or simply relaxing outdoors. The kitchen is bright and functional with maple cabinetry, glass-front uppers, tile backsplash, and gas cooking. Upstairs you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a generous primary with hardwood floors and double closet, plus a hall bath with timeless beadboard detail and tile finishes. Recent upgrades include a newer roof (2023), a two-zone heat pump/central AC system, and a gas boiler that provides flexibility in heating the home. Additional highlights include a new 200-amp electric panel, replacement windows, ceiling fans, a full basement with laundry and storage, and an attached garage with private driveway. Northwoods is known for its tree-lined streets and welcoming community. This home is within walking distance to the SEPTA Regional Rail and North Hills Country Club, and just a short drive to Keswick Village, Jenkintown, Chestnut Hill and some of the area’s best local shops and restaurants. Easy access to Rt. 309, the Turnpike, and Center City makes commuting a breeze. Move right in and enjoy everything this picture-perfect home and neighborhood have to offer.
