About This Home
As of February 2023Introducing 831 Elkins Avenue -- a charming 1935 Tudor twin on a quiet and leafy road in Elkins Park that's within walking distance to the regional rail station, several parks, shops and restaurants.
The exterior is covered in a combo of classic Wissahickon Schist and stucco. There's a beautiful front porch where you can relax and wave to neighbors. You enter into a nice-sized living room with original oak floors with mahogany inlay. The living room opens into the formal dining room that's soaked in natural light. For a Tudor, this home is surprisingly bright thanks to its large side windows.
There's a galley kitchen with enough space for a small breakfast table and plenty of potential. Want more counter space? Many neighbors have removed the wall between the dining room and kitchen to create an open concept layout with an island or peninsula.
On the second floor, there are three good sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with shower/tub combination.
The laundry is in the clean and dry basement which is a blank canvas ready for your touches. There's also a one-car garage for your convenience.
The home a short walk to both Wall Park (playgrounds, ball fields, tennis and basketball courts and skate park) and Curtis Arboretum (pond, trails, dog park and beautiful backdrops for photos.) Many neighbors walk to the Elkins Park train station that will get you into Center City Philadelphia in 23 minutes.
