Spectacular! Hearth House ...yes, this is a named house...love that! Gorgeous and grand home in the heart of Jenkintown Borough...this one has it all! As you enter this 1911 brick Federal, you soon realize how much this special home has to offer. There are seven, yes SEVEN, fireplaces throughout this home and they are all so uniquely beautiful and very captivating. The current homeowners renovated this home to perfection. While keeping with the charm of the original home on this beautiful street, they planned and built a two-story addition which boasts an incredible Great Room with coffered ceilings, tigerwood flooring, a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone veneer fireplace, and a wet bar. A Great Room in the Borough...wait until you see it! Perfect for entertaining! The kitchen was renovated with upgraded Fisher Paykel appliances, a center island, solid surface countertops, and a brick fireplace. The lower level has an attached oversized three car garage, a mudroom, a finished family room, a gym area, a craft room, and a powder room. Updated systems (including four heat and air conditioning zones) and windows make this property very energy efficient for ideal comfort. Throughout this home, there are many antique lighting fixtures, including but not limited to the French chandelier in the dining room which dates back to the late 1800s. The glass globes are Lalique and original to the pieces. Outdoor areas have been lovingly maintained and well-manicured while the spacious deck and large backyard are perfect for entertaining. Ideally located...two blocks from the Jenkintown Train Station, two blocks from the Jenkintown Schools, and two blocks from the Jenkintown Shopping District where unique shoppes have so much to offer, a variety of restaurants and pubs, the Hiway Movie Theatre, and the historic Jenkintown Library...just to name a few. This is an ideal dream house in the Borough with the perfect blend of traditional and modern that you will not want to miss.Any specific questions, please feel free to contact Listing Agent .
