Introducing a Charming Stone & Stucco Twin in the Heart of Elkins Park. This beautifully maintained stone and stucco twin, perfectly nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street in the sought-after Elkins Park community just a few minutes from two of the most iconic Gilded Age mansions. This home is framed by a vibrant, azalea-filled front yard and an expansive, cozy front porch that offers a view of the tranquil neighborhood - ideal setting for potted plants, a pair of rocking chairs, and quiet moments watching the world go by. Entering through the south-facing front door, natural light pours through brand-new windows with west-facing exposures, casting a warm glow on original woodwork and cozy details. Follow the beautiful hardwood floors through the formal dining hall and into a stunning new kitchen by Tague Lumber, complete with quartz countertops and quality finishes - where classic style meets modern convenience. A rear kitchen door provides convenient access to the backyard and a one-car detached garage. Upstairs, you'll find three good sized bedrooms and one full hall bath with tub/shower, offering comfort and functionality. While the second floor and stairway have been freshly updated with plush new carpet, the entire home also features stunning hardwood flooring with classic inlay detailing throughout — a true testament to its timeless craftsmanship. Designed with thick walls and natural materials, the home stays refreshingly cool in the summer, offering a sense of calm and a deep connection to its historic roots. This home blends charm, comfort, and convenience in a walkable, friendly neighborhood, close to parks, shops, and transit. This a rare opportunity to reimagine a historic gem in the heart of the highly coveted Elkins Park neighborhood. Come discover a place where history, architecture, and nature converge to create an exceptional living experience.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
