Welcome to 223 Summit Avenue, a beautifully maintained, spacious three-story, six-bedroom, two-bath home filled with character and architectural charm in the heart of Jenkintown Borough. An inviting front porch and beautiful front door welcome you into a charming foyer with crown molding and chair rail, offering just the first glimpse of the special details found throughout this home. Beautiful oak wood floors, high ceilings, natural woodwork, deep windowsills, crown moldings, and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming feel. From the entry hall, a gorgeous wide arched opening with beautiful woodwork leads into the living room, where an electric fireplace with a distinctive tile surround and hearth is flanked by built-in bookcases. The dining room offers plenty of space for dinners and get-togethers and features a lovely bay window and natural woodwork. The upgraded eat-in kitchen combines character with thoughtful updates and is a wonderful space for cooking, gathering, and everyday life. Custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, built-ins, radiant-heated tile flooring, a cooktop, Dacor double wall ovens and warming drawer, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, tile backsplash, large stainless steel counter-depth refrigerator, double sink with disposal, pantry cabinet, and spice storage make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Just beyond is a charming butler’s pantry that preserves some of the home’s original character and adds additional storage and workspace. The second floor offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a beautiful bay window. The renovated hall bath features tile and marble finishes, a walk-in shower with glass doors, and a large linen closet. An additional oversized hall linen closet provides even more storage. Continue to the third floor, where three more generously sized bedrooms and another full bath with a classic clawfoot tub provide wonderful flexibility. With six bedrooms in all, there is plenty of space to create guest rooms, home offices, hobby rooms, or whatever best suits your needs. The basement houses the laundry area and offers built-in shelving, closets, additional storage, and an outside exit, with potential for future finished space. Additional features include gas heat and updated 200-amp electrical service. Out back, a rear porch leads to the deck and a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for outdoor dining, grilling, gardening, play, or simply relaxing. Three driveway parking spaces add the convenience of off-street parking. And then there’s the location! Just one block from the Jenkintown Train Station and only a few blocks from the award-winning Jenkintown School District, 223 Summit Avenue puts so much of the Borough within easy walking distance. Stroll to restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, unique shopping, the historic Hiway Theater and Jenkintown Library, along with seasonal farmers markets, live music in Town Square, and community events throughout the year. With its generous living space, beautiful architectural details, updated kitchen and bath, high ceilings, wonderful natural light, and exceptional Borough location, 223 Summit Avenue blends the charm of an older home with the spaces and updates that make it so comfortable for today.
