Welcome to 101 Cliff Terrace, an impeccably maintained and beautifully updated turn-of-the-century Victorian twin in historic Old Wyncote; conveniently situated within walking distance of the Jenkintown-Wyncote train station, restaurants, cafes and parks.
Pride of ownership is evident at every turn as you step inside. You'll love the tastefully renovated kitchen with ceiling height cabinetry, sleek off-white Corian counters, stainless steel appliances, space for a breakfast table and a movable center island for extra prep and storage space. The living room has a classic appeal thanks to its deep window sill, gas-burning fireplace and pair of custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins. The dining room is spacious enough for formal dinner parties and comfortable enough for daily family meals. By the rear door you'll find a convenient mudroom area and a full bathroom with cleverly designed shower stall doors that collapse to maximize space when not in use.
On the second floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom with double sink vanity, recessed lighting, and claw foot tub/shower. The wainscoting and classic finishes keep to the home's early 20th century style. The closets throughout the home are unusually large for a home of this age, while the closets in the primary bedroom have been custom built to maximize space and functionality. At the end of the day, make your way to the third floor where you'll unwind watching a favorite movie in the media room, complete with projector, screen and surround sound speakers. Across the hall is the final bedroom, currently used as a home office.
In the basement, you'll find laundry facilities and a large U-shaped work bench. The basement has been improved with a water management system including a French drain and sump pump. The private backyard has something for everyone. Hobby gardeners will appreciate the pond that has been converted into a flourishing aquaponic system with multiple raised garden beds. There's a fire pit corner, brick patio, play set and hedges offering complete privacy. A private driveway leads to the oversized detached one-car garage that you can also access through the fenced-in yard.
Great care has been taken to improve the home's functionality and energy efficiency. The current owners installed a high efficiency boiler, tankless water heater, Pella® windows on the second and third floors, gas fireplace insert, insulation behind the walls and an upgraded electrical system.
The convenient location of this home cannot be understated. The SEPTA regional rail lines go directly to Temple University, Center City and the airport. The home is also close to Route 309 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Less than a mile from the main business districts of Jenkintown and Glenside, you can stroll to the Saturday Farmer's Market, the township pool and seasonal festivals.
