Property Description
The second floor has 3 spacious bedrooms that are connected. One of the bedrooms was the original main bedroom with a gorgeous ensuite bathroom with leaded glass window that is complete with a stall shower & heated floors. There is a room size main bedroom closet with 3 walls of custom cabinetry and a washer/dryer(not vented).The main bedroom bathroom is completely remodeled with marble tiles, large stall shower with heated floors and leaded glass window. The main suite retreat has a gas fireplace and bench window seating with storage under the benches located in under the bay window area. The third floor has three more bedrooms along with the full bathroom with an original clawfoot tub.
This home is a wonderful residence with elegance, warmth, superb craftsmanship and tasteful quality updates. It was designed for the Reverend Edward W. Appleton and was financed by two wealthy congregants. He briefly lived in the house. The 2nd Owner (George L. Adams, a wealthy industrialist) hired Horace Trumbauer in 1905 to design the carriage house & stables.
The carriage house/garage also designed by Trumbauer is 2 stories with space for at least 3 cars & storage. The walls & ceiling are all tongue & groove hardwood. The original horse stalls are at the rear of the 1st floor. There are even grain feeders remaining and a good amount of the materials used prior to the renovations made in the home. The 2nd floor has a pigeon coup and is a blank canvas that could be something special with a little imagination. It could be a studio, apartment, workshop. This location is within walking distance to the Elkins Park train station, shops, restaurants & transportation.
