Welcome to Elkins Park, Montgomery County's stately community known for accessibility, character and charm. Nestled on almost a quarter acre of lovely, landscaped grounds, this impeccably maintained home exudes exquisite craftsmanship and stunning detail. Curb appeal begins at the door with this storybook Tudor featuring a steep, gabled roof, elaborate stone and stucco work, decorative half-timbered details and colorful flower boxes. Beautiful perennial gardens surrounding the inlaid slate walkway are a fitting invitation and once inside, a welcoming center hall anchors the sunny living room with the formal dining room. Quartersawn oak hardwood floors and a grand stone wood-burning fireplace flanked with built-in bookshelves add elegance to the living room and a chair rail, crown molding and a deep bay window add charm and warmth to the dining room. A glass door from the living room leads to a breezy screened-in porch with a shiplap ceiling and ceiling fan, inviting the outside in. The newly remodeled kitchen is outfitted with recessed lighting, two-toned painted cabinets, a classic subway tile backsplash, a double sink, stainless steel appliances and butcher block countertops. Upstairs find four spacious bedrooms, including a Master Suite with en-suite bath and a spa-like hall bath with subway tile and a farmhouse sink. A cedar hall closet and laundry round out the second floor. The semi-finished basement is warm and cozy and perfect for curling up with a book or having guests over for a football game. It boasts recessed lighting and a reclaimed wood pallet wall hiding additional storage. The home also features a new high efficiency heater and a water softener system. A walkway accessed from the kitchen leads to the spacious garage and to the flagstone patio, perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. The yard is wonderfully landscaped and a canopy of mature trees and colorful plantings provide peaceful relaxation and comfort.
