725 Spring Ave Elkins Park, PA 19027

Grace & elegance are the hallmarks of this exquisitely restored Colonial in Elkins Park. Constructed in the 1920's with a major expansion in the 1930's (designed by the firm of Silverman & Levy), what proudly graces the corner of Spring Avenue & Heather Road is a perfectly scaled example of the best of classic architecture. Sited on a level 1.33 acre parcel, this defines the essence of curb appeal. The finest of details went into every aspect of its original construction & its thorough restoration over the past 7 years. A circular drive services the front entry, while the rear drive provides access to the 4-car garage. Outside, there are 3 patios (off the kitchen, screened porch & in the rear yard) along with perennial borders, flowering shrubs & ample room to add a pool or tennis court. You enter the gracious center entry hall and one begins to appreciate the subtle design details. There are chair rails, picture & crown moldings throughout the main living floor. The original leaded glass fanlight windows still grace the front & rear Dutch doors and that motif is replicated in the living & dining rooms. There are 3 wood burning fireplaces (living, dining & family rooms). All of the hardwood floors on the first floor are new. A cozy breakfast room is tucked off the dining room with two walls of windows. The majority of all the double-hung windows are also new. The kitchen is a Chef's delight, with two sinks, a 36", 5-burner induction cooktop with downdraft exhaust (by Diva), double wall ovens & a warming drawer (Electrolux), a Bosch dishwasher, Sub-Zero fridge and a built-in beverage fridge & microwave by GE. There is seating for at least 4 people at the center island & additional space for a large table. Direct access to the garage or the 2nd floor via the rear staircase make this the core of the home! The master suite was completely re-configured to add a walk-in closet with custom shelving, a new en-suite bath with 2 sinks, whirlpool tub and over-sized, seamless glass shower. There are 4 additional large bedrooms, a 2nd floor TV room, a home office and the 2nd floor laundry. The upgrades are extensive, and include a whole-house generator (Generac), a perimeter drain system (BQ Basements), extensive insulation, two new furnaces, 2 new A/C systems, new roof & gutters, (with 40-year, CertainTeed shangles), radiant floor heating in the kitchen, a complete overhaul of the electrical system, new garage doors and a renovated Jack & Jill bathroom.
