This beautiful stone house was designed and built by the Kent family in 1927, at the height of the Arts and Crafts architectural movement. The pristine original woodwork meshes comfortably with the many modern updates, in a comfortable airy setting, bathed in natural light and outside greenery. The arched front door with leaded glass panes opens into a foyer with a three storied wood staircase and windows looking down on a yard bordered by evergreens, azaleas and rhododendrons. The first level flows from the vaulted ceilinged, glass enclosed, chandeliered family room into the living room with walls of oak book shelves and a fireplace flanked by hand tooled dark wood cabinets. The professionally designed high-end gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops, custom designed cabitnetry, Bosch dishwasher and hood, Bertazzonni ovens, and a Blomberg counter-depth refrigerator. The breakfast nook opens onto a comfortable cement deck overlooking the well tended neighborhood. A formal dining room sports a carved soapstone fireplace with an adjacent windowed music room. The first level also includes a cloak room, a powder room and a sun room which overlooks the tiled back deck and shrubbery. High end finishes continue upstairs in the primary suite which offers a modern glass showered bath, balcony, and walk-in closet/dressing room. The second level includes five bedrooms and four full baths. A second staircase allows for the isolation of two bedrooms and bathroom as as separate in-laws or nanny suite. Over 6000 square feet of space in this home includes two finished rooms and a cedar closet on the third floor. The Wyncote neighborhood features fascinating old and modern residences, multiple parks and the house is mere blocks from historic Curtis Arboretum (site of concerts and township fairs.) The Jenkintown/Wyncote train station is close by, offering trains every 10 minutes to Center City during rush hours, arriving downtown in only 24 minutes. The house is walking distance to several restaurants and common amenities. This comfortable home is truly an architectural gem of the Arts and Crafts movement that cannot be reproduced.
