Description

Welcome to 406 Greenwood, an elegant and spacious twin home located in the heart of the Wyncote Historic District. Constructed in the early 1900’s, this classic home with its stone foundation and cedar siding strikes the perfect balance between timeless, original details and modern updates. Enter from the covered porch and be greeted by a beautiful entryway showcasing original, inlaid hardwood floors, beautiful crown molding, and a decorative fireplace. Off this central entryway, you will find a spacious living room in the front of the home with two large windows and plenty of room for a large sectional and additional seating. Moving towards the rear, you have a dedicated dining room, perfectly set up for entertaining with a custom bar with storage and a built-in tap. There is also a convenient powder room tucked away in the corner. Beyond the dining room lies the updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, 42” wood cabinetry, pantry, coffee bar, a convenient secondary staircase, and a large window overlooking the scenic rear yard. Head up the main central staircase, admiring the detailed molding and stained glass along the way, and you will enter the second floor, which houses 3 of the home’s 5 bedrooms. The primary bedroom is in front with a new walk-in, custom closet, a separate changing room, and plenty of light. The 2 secondary bedrooms on this level are both nicely sized with ample closet space. Finishing off this level is the bright and updated full bath with a tub/shower. The third level of the home includes 2 additional bedrooms with closets, a large storage room, and a multi-purpose room that could be an office, den, or even another guest bedroom as needed. There is also a second full bath and pull down access to the attic for additional storage. The updated basement offers good ceiling height and plenty of storage and space for a playroom/home gym/etc. You will also find a large laundry area with washer and dryer and steps leading directly to the rear of the property. The basement has been waterproofed and features a sump pump (with battery backup) and a dehumidifier. The rear yard is fenced and features a spacious concrete patio and a play area towards the rear. New landscaping and retaining wall were just installed capping off this fantastic oasis. Additional recent upgrades include a new rear roof, new chimney, a new HVAC installed in 2023, and many other cosmetic improvements throughout. Oversized, one car parking is available in front of the home with an additional parking arrangement in place for free overflow parking at the building next door. Conveniently located in an architecturally significant community with winding, tree-lined roads, century old homes and parks. Walkable to the Jenkintown train station, restaurants and coffee shops, parks and so much more.
