Property Description

Walk to the Village of Elkins Park – Rare Historic Gem with Creek Views! Welcome to 7933 Park Avenue, a distinctive 4–5 bedroom, 2 full and 2 half-bath home perched high above Tacony Creek. Framed by mature trees and set on a manageable lot with a generous rear porch, this architectural treasure combines historic craftsmanship with modern upgrades—all just a short walk to the train, park, village center library. Step inside through original 19th-century Dutch doors, complete with brass hardware and a whimsical cherub knocker. The dramatic foyer introduces the home’s preserved old world chestnut woodwork and show-stopping staircase, featuring turned spindles, leaded glass, and a curved gallery—an artisan masterpiece typical of this style home. In the living room, bay windows and an original “Inglenook” hardwood mantel wall with carved corbels and built-in seating create a striking focal point. The updated high-efficiency wood-burning insert adds warmth and charm. A spacious side Sunroom extends the living area for 3 season entertaining. The upgraded eat-in kitchen includes hardwood cabinetry, a Thermador 5-burner gas range, center island, and built in desk —ideal for morning coffee or creekside dining on the back porch. Adjacent is a sunlit formal dining room with decorative fireplace. A powder room completes this first floor. Upstairs, four large bedrooms share a full bath. The primary bedroom offers a private balcony, next door a cozy media room and library. The third floor features a full bath, bedroom and a stunning studio with skylights, exposed beams, and Built-Ins. The entire 3rd floor could function as a huge owners suite! The walkout basement includes a sauna, family room, workshop, laundry (with chute access from 2nd and 1st floors), and a half bath. Outside, enjoy two patios perfect for entertaining and grilling near the creek. Comfort meets efficiency with 4 mini-splits and hot water radiant gas heat throughout. Ideally located on a quiet street, this home offers an 5 min walk to the park and tennis courts, the train station, as well as all the amenities of the lovely village of Elkins Park. Close to route 309 and the PA Turnpike this home is ideal for buyers seeking, walkability, historic distinction and aesthetic integrity and nature views. Make this historic gem your next Dream Home!
