Description

WONDERFUL 3 BR 2-story “forever home”. They raised their family in this comfortable 1920’s Abington home, with schools, shopping and trains stations just a walk away. Now 64 years later, it is time to move on. Originally built as a cape cod; owners expanded the roof to make those large bedrooms full height. They added a powder room on the first floor, and kept all the original hardwood flooring in great shape. The gas fireplace in the living room makes cool nights cozy and the Central Air Conditioning makes humid days comfortable! New roof installed in 2020 and the HVAC system, water heater, plumbing and electrical were updated as needed. The rear yard has PVC piping to drain the water away from the house. Enjoy the back screened porch for family eating (without flies, bees and mosquitos or just sit on your lounge chair savoring the shade of a beautiful treed oasis including a small pond on the side. Fabulous Abington schools, Abington Jefferson Hospital, and every neighborhood accommodation around the corner including Rt 611, Rt 263, Rt 309, the PA turnpike, Septa suburban Rail lines and lots of public transportation. All it needs are new owners to keep loving and enjoying this home. Showings start Monday, June 23rd.
