Property Description

This one-of-a-kind residence in the heart of Olde Wyncote offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and was originally part of the Pullman Estate. The home perfectly balances its historic soul with modern luxury, featuring a classic stone exterior and architectural details like exposed hardwood floors, deep windowsills, and graceful archways. Upon entering the gorgeous foyer with radiant heated floors, you are greeted by an exposed stone wall and French doors that provide a lovely view of the exquisite patio area. The stunning great room addition serves as a centerpiece for the home, boasting a vaulted cedar ceiling, expansive windows, and a gas-burning fireplace, all warmed by radiant floor heating.  The formal dining room retains its 19th-century character with original exposed wood beams, a stone fireplace with built-ins, and random-width pegged hardwood flooring. French doors lead from this space to an expansive patio which is the perfect spot for quiet afternoons by the seahorse fountain. For the home chef, the kitchen is a masterpiece of design and function, featuring granite counters, a lyptus wood-topped center island, and professional-grade appliances including a Thermador five-burner cooktop and double ovens. The sun-filled breakfast room, complete with a built-in cupboard and access to a smaller patio, is a wonderful spot for morning coffee. A family room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins leads to a hallway lined with bookshelves, which, in turn, guides you to a well-placed mudroom and laundry area. This functional wing includes access to both the driveway and the attached garage for ultimate convenience. A powder room and backstairs to the second floor complete the main level. While the first floor is sure to impress, the second floor will not disappoint. The primary suite offers a private retreat with custom built-in closet area and a beautifully tiled bathroom featuring radiant heated flooring and a large glass shower. Located off the main staircase are three additional bedrooms, each offering ample closet space and gorgeous wood floors, along with an updated hall bath with radiant flooring. The back stairs lead to a fifth bedroom which serves as a private guest room with an adjacent full bath, making it a perfect layout for frequent visitors or an au pair suite. The exterior space is equally impressive, as the patio area with its gorgeous stone wall backdrop will remind you of dining al fresco in Europe. This space is truly wonderful for entertaining. The property is uniquely situated and backs up to the nine acres of Thomas Williams Park, offering beautiful views and immediate access to tennis/pickle ball courts, ball fields, walking paths, and a playground. There is a one-car attached garage, an easy-access walk-up attic with plenty of storage and lots of off-street parking. The location is incredible and is a short walk to Jenkintown train station and minutes to local shops, restaurants and schools and is a short drive to Center City.
