1500 MELROSE AVE Elkins Park, PA 19027

What an amazing treat - taking a step back in time when houses were built for the discerning buyer who demanded quality and craftsmanship. This custom built home was designed to bring the outside in and make an almost seamless separation between the slated floor in the family room and the same floor that carries out to the covered patio. The gorgeous and expansive formal living room was spared no detail. The wood burning fireplace and magnificent moldings remind you of the original use of this space - formal entertaining. The architect made sure the wall of windows provided privacy while still allowing ample natural light. Opposite this entertaining space, is the equally elegant dining room with gorgeous built ins and rounded corners. Also filled with natural light from the wall of windows. Swing door to the kitchen allows for easy access when entertaining. This home has been meticulously maintained with several newer appliances added over the last few years, including a new stove and dishwasher, both rarely used. Down the hall from the kitchen is the family room area with wet bar and french doors to the covered patio. Just beyond the den and a few steps up, you enter the owners suite. A true step back in time to when modern conveniences were just starting to be recognized. Incredible closet storage in the dressing area with make up station and sitting area. Master bath is spacious and very well kept. Down the hall is a second bedroom currently used as office. The attention to detail is not missed for a second in here where the floor is made of pigskin. An additional full bath completes this living area. The upstairs has 2 additional bedrooms, both with en suite baths. 2 additional large walk in closets complete this upper level. Basement has newer washer and dryer (2013) and new dual zone HVAC (2014). 2 car inside access garage.
