Property Description
Highly desirable, perfectly maintained Elliger Park Cape originally built by Harry M. Waterer, one of the Founders of the Philadelphia Flower Show. As you open the original 1937 door into the brick floored entryway, you will immediately be impressed with the level of care and updating that has occurred. From the wainscoting, moldings, hardwood floors, brick floors, and high end finishes, this home exudes the best Elliger Park has to offer! The large Living Room features a gas fireplace and is filled with bright light from the front windows. The brick floored Sun Room, adjoining the living room and overlooking the gardens, adds to the sun filled spaces. Conveniently located off the Living Room is a private suite, comprised of a Bedroom, Full Bath and Den w/gas fireplace, hardwood floors and built in bookcases. This is the perfect space for guests or use as an in-law/au-pair suite. Be sure to notice the 4 framed original 1938 sketches done by the architect, G. Edwin Brombaugh. The Dining Room has a beautiful, large bay window with views to the private, lushly landscaped back yard. The updated Kitchen features painted Rutt custom cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, Sub Zero refrigerator, Dacor electric oven and GE gas cook top and microwave. Surrounded by windows, enjoy coffee and meals in the light filled Breakfast Room which has a perfect view of the extensive landscaping with stone walls, gravel paths and irrigation system. Several of Mr. Waterer's original patented plantings still thrive in the garden oasis. The Kitchen is open to the Family Room with hardwood floors, exposed beams, built-in bookshelves and cabinets and wood burning fireplace. 2nd floor features an attic space that is both heated and air conditioned and could be easily converted into a playroom, small sleeping space, sitting room or office. The large Master Bedroom with updated bath features marble flooring, counters, walls and radiant heat. A stall shower and separate soaking tub with large arched window fills the room with natural light. The Master Bedroom space offers a private haven for reading and relaxing. Another bedroom on the second floor and hall bath completes the second floor space. As per seller, taxes are actually $8500/year. Close to PA Turnpike, Rt. 309, shopping, restaurants. This is the home in Elliger Park everyone talks about, and now it can be yours!
