Property Description

Wyncote is a small area located on the other side of Jenkintown. For those that know & live in this little "pocket" community, it's a wonderful area of less than 1 square mile. From the 1890's through the 1920's, Bent Road became filled with architecturally significant residences by well-regarded Architects including, William Lightfoot Price, Duhring, Okie & Ziegler, Angus Wade & Heacock & Hokanson. This is the environment that one finds themselves in today when one takes a stroll along the quiet side streets of Bent & Accomac Roads. It's a rich diversity of architecture of a golden age of wealth when folks would escape the heat of the city to "retreat" to their country homes, yet with easy access to the city via daily train service. Unfortunately, I am unable to associate my newest listing to one of these famous Architects, but alas, this "diminutive" 3,200+ S.F. cottage (yes, that's small when compared to the other larger "cottages" on Bent Road) cannot be traced back to a particular Architect. Its original Owner was a woman by the name of Valeria M. Small, of which I am unable to find any historical references. This charming (yet very spacious) 1910 Arts & Crafts cottage exudes coziness & warmth. It sits elevated from the street, yet tucked into its setting on nearly 1.5 acres, it offers period details & modern amenities PLUS a legal, 1-bedroom apartment in the detached 2-car carriage house (est. rental of $1,000/m). This stone & stucco home has an open floor plan with 3,200+ S.F. of functional living space. Beautiful woodwork, pocket doors, the original slate roof, two fireplaces & inlaid H/W floors throughout retain its vintage appeal. The entry foyer is anchored by a large brick fireplace that recently had a Regency Large Hybrid Catalytic Wood Stove Insert with a 2-speed electric blower installed. The gourmet kitchen was completely renovated in 2006 and provides everything a chef could require to make elegant meals. There is a computer/desk area right next to the family room. A large, full-height storage pantry is to the left of the 36" wide, cabinet-depth, side by side LG fridge. There is a built-in wine fridge and a microwave cubby just next to the fridge. A 36" professional, 6-burner, stainless steel Blue Star gas range is prominently displayed on the opposite wall with an intricate tiled backsplash and an overhead range hood, capped in custom cabinetry to match the rest of the kitchen. The double sink is directly in front of a bank of windows with a trash drawer on one side & the Bosch dishwasher on the other. Opposite the sink wall is a naturally-stained breakfast bar wall with glass cabinets and seating for five. There are granite counters throughout, an abundance of LED, high-hat lights in the ceiling and a ceiling fan. In addition, there is a walk-in pantry tucked at the back of the kitchen. A door leads directly to a small, covered porch and the rear patio, driveway & carriage house. A 1st floor laundry/mudroom and a stellar Master bathroom (with a Jacuzzi tub & separate shower) were also completed in 2006. The apartment kitchen was renovated in 2017 as was the powder room in the main house. The hall bathroom was renovated in 2019. Over 30 windows have been replaced by the current Owners. There is a full-height, walk-out basement and central A/C (on the 2nd floor). Out back, there's a large paver patio directly off the kitchen & mudroom. Another interesting "oddity" that remains from the Victorian era is the remnants of a "wading pool" that could be restored by the next Owner. It's only about 5 feet deep and about 6 feet in circumference (yes, it's round!). The SEPTA station has the best scheduled service with three train lines all merging at that one station. Service every 10 minutes during the rush hours can get you to Temple University, downtown Philadelphia, 30th Street Station, the U of P/Drexel University campuses & hospitals and even all the way to the Philadelphia Airport. 1-year Home Warranty included.
