7 Walt Ln Wyncote, PA 19095

Known locally as the “Gardener’s Cottage,” 7 Walt Lane is located in the Wyncote Historic District. Constructed in 1900, this charming home was one of the original buildings of the Henry Walt estate. In 2009 the home was restored and significantly enlarged. Reimagined in consultation with the local board of historical review, the house now comprises over 2000 square feet, including four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a first-floor powder room. A large, three-floor (plus basement) addition, essentially doubling the size of the original house, incorporates a first-floor kitchen and family room, second-floor master suite, and third-floor bedroom. The open first floor has original pine floors throughout the living and dining room. Sight lines lead from the original front porch entrance (porch restored 2022) to the rear French doors, opening to a large wraparound rear porch. The functional kitchen has a large breakfast bar, subway-tiled backsplash, solid surface counters, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is open to a comfortable family room, perfect for entertaining. The large primary suite occupies the second floor of the newer addition. There is a generous walk-in closet, and the primary bath includes a double vanity and tiled shower. Second-floor laundry includes a stacked washer and dryer (installed 2025). An additional bedroom with windows on three sides and a second full bath complete this floor. The third floor includes a large third bedroom with dormered windows, together with a cozy fourth bedroom or office space. Careful attention to period detail includes cedar shake exteriors and two-over-two Pella windows, complementing those original to the house. A stunning covered porch wraps around the rear of the first floor, overlooking the landscaped yard and adjacent Robinson Park. Also included are newer heating and cooling systems (installed 2022 and 2024) and a finished bonus room in the walk-out basement. Located on a relatively quiet street, 7 Walt Lane offers a large, private wooded lot, paved driveway with ample parking, original storage barn, easy access to township parks and walking distance to the unmatched Jenkintown/Wyncote SEPTA station.
