7944 MONTGOMERY AVENUE, ELKINS PARK, PA 19027

This classic Center Hall Colonial was part of the original Ogontz Park, a historic, planned neighborhood recently featured in Old House Journal.  By design, it's an easy one-block walk to Elkins Park train station, EP Library, High School and Ogontz Parks, restaurants, public tennis courts and stores.  This sturdy, Wissahickon schist stone and stucco house has great "bones" and retains many original architectural elements like the fireplace, hardwood oak floors, built-in china cabinets, shelves and drawers.  Bright and spacious rooms have been lovingly updated by the current owner.  A gorgeous new sunroom with split unit heating/cooling offers great views of the upscale, tree-lined neighborhood.  The large, fully fenced -in backyard features a patio, swing, fig tree and gardens on all sides.  There are seven total bedrooms on the second and third floors, two of which are unfinished and used for storage but could be easily updated.  That leaves five bedrooms to use as you wish, as bedrooms, an office or dressing room.  The master bedroom has an updated master bath with walk-in shower.  What is now a child's room has its own bathroom with shower.  The large bedroom on the third floor has a bathroom with claw-foot tub/shower.  There's a powder room on the first floor.  New light fixtures from Rejuvenation and Restoration Hardward have been installed throughout the house.  The basement is not finished, but dry and clean with a utility sink, boiler, hot water heater, and separate entrance through bilco doors into the backyard.  This classic home is truly beloved by its current owner who is only selling because of a need to downsize.
