Property Description
If you're drawn to historic architectural details, large porches, cozy reading nooks and spacious sunlit rooms, 1100 Melrose Avenue may be the home for you. Built in 1900, this late Victorian/early Queen Anne is looking for its next owners to bring their love, vision and ambition. Clad in cedar shingles and Wissahickon schist, this home boasts a recently restored porch which offers a peaceful spot to relax while sipping a morning coffee or glass of wine. Through the double front doors, you step into a vestibule with a coat closet and on into the gracious foyer with crown molding, wainscoting, inlaid hardwood floors, bay window and fireplace with brick surround. A spacious room in the front of the house is currently used as a music room and could easily be transformed into a living room or playroom. On the other side of the foyer, you'll find the family room with pocket doors, a second fireplace and access to a side porch which is a favorite place to eat al fresco since the kitchen is just steps away. The bright kitchen comes with a newer refrigerator, dishwasher and gas range and offers views of and access to the backyard. The formal dining room, brightened by two large windows, is large enough for big holiday dinners and quaint enough for quiet meals alone. There's access to the rear staircase leading up to the second floor. A powder room tucked behind the main staircase completes the first level. The second floor consists of three spacious bedrooms, one full bathroom and perhaps one of the current owner's favorite features the library. Walls of built-in bookcases create the perfect setting to escape with a good book and unwind at the end of the day. The enclosed sleeping porch off the library is one of those cozy spots you'll come love about your home.On the third floor, you'll find a pair of side-by-side offices, a spacious bedroom and a large bonus room with hidden laundry facilities. The large bathroom has a double vanity, tiles and glass shower stall and clawfoot tub. The home is within walking distance to Myers Elementary School, shops, restaurants, and both the Elkins Park and Melrose Park SEPTA stations. The home needs someone who appreciates old details and is willing to do the work needed to bring the exterior of the house to its full beauty.
