Description
***Due to the holiday, seller has established an extended showing schedule and asks that offers be submitted by Monday, Dec 2 at noon. Seller reserves the right to accept an offer before then. **** Discover the timeless elegance of this updated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, offering over 4,100 sq. ft. of living space on nearly half an acre in Elkins Park. This stately residence, originally home to Oscar Blasius, known for producing exquisite pianos in the 19th century, still retains many of its original features, including a carriage stone engraved with the letter B. Set back on lush grounds, this striking Wissahickon schist stone and cedar shake exterior is framed by mature trees, has a large terraced porch, a 2-story turret with roof deck, and a detached former carriage house which now serves as a 2-car garage. Inside, the beautifully restored woodwork, stained glass, and leaded windows highlight the home’s rich character. Enter through a grand foyer, where a stunning staircase welcomes you to explore further. Relax in the spacious living room with its wood-burning fireplace and beautifully crafted wooden mantle, showcasing detailed carving that adds elegance and character to the room. The kitchen features cherry cabinets, new appliances, an island and eat-in area perfect for casual meals. There's a charming and bright family room to relax and a large formal dining room overlooking the scenic backyard. Off the rear of the home is a cedar deck ideal for entertaining or unwinding. The first floor also includes a powder room and an enclosed side porch which can be used as a mudroom but is large enough to function as a playroom or whatever you wish. On the second floor, you'll find four large bedrooms and two full baths. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a sitting room which could be used as a dressing room or home office. The third floor expands your options, with flexible space suited for an additional bedroom suite, a home gym, office, or media room. A rooftop deck off the den invites you to enjoy the outdoors from a new vantage point. Modern amenities include two-zone central air and a four-zone heating system for comfort throughout the year. An enclosed side porch and main bathroom has radiant floor heating. Ideally located, this home offers an easy walk to the Elkins Park train station (with direct service to center city and the airport), local shops, restaurants, and parks. Close to route 309 and the PA Turnpike. This residence combines historic charm with contemporary convenience. Make this historic gem your next home!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
