1618 UPLAND AVE Jenkintown, PA 19046

Newly refreshed and newly priced, this home is ready for you! 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths in Abington School District, close to everything Jenkintown has to offer. The home was once lit by gas lamps, and an original lamp, converted to electric, is still functional on the 2nd floor landing. Large front porch, original stained glass & leaded glass windows, 2 fireplaces, 2 staircases and hardwood floors are just a few of the many lovely features this home has to offer. The porch was originally built to handle horse drawn carriages, and you can see the evidence in the side porch door which sits 4 feet above the ground. Living Room highlights include beamed ceiling, stone fireplace and multiple windows for plenty of sun. Up a few steps and through a gorgeous stained glass door, enter the shingle-walled office, once used as the original builder's office. Dining Room has a lovely bay window with built in window seat. Beyond the Dining Room is an enormous Kitchen/Family Room addition. Eat-in Kitchen has cabinets custom built by Amish furniture makers, stainless appliances including commercial Thermador range & hood and SubZero refrigerator. The large island has plenty of extra storage and 2nd sink. The Family Room has custom built-in bookcases, french door to deck and a wall of floor to ceiling windows flooding the room with natural light and overlooking private, fenced yard. Laundry room and powder room complete the main level. The Master Bedroom is surrounded by custom cherry cabinets--a place for everything! 4/5 additional bedrooms and 2 additional full baths complete the upper levels. The unfinished basement has a unique story--legend has it that a portion of the basement was used as a gambling parlor, and Babe Ruth was a frequent visitor! The location is ideal--quick walk to Noble train station, shopping and restaurants makes this an easy home to love.
