Cuddle up in front of the gas fireplace (operated by remote control) in this cozy bungalow. Make brunch in a quaint kitchen with custom cabinets made by an Amish carpenter and thick cararra marble countertops. Sleep in pure silence in either one of the two bedrooms with windows looking out to trees and nature. Just 10 miles north of Center City Philadelphia and very close to two train stations that can transport you to Center City. The space This house was built in 1900. My mother's best friend was the first occupant of this house with his parents and siblings. Decades later, my mother purchased it from her best friend after his father passed away - so, the bungalow has stayed in the family! This is an updated bungalow. I started to remodel it about 5 years ago -- by refinishing the original pine hardwood floors with an expresso finish, gutting the kitchen and putting in a custom kitchen complete with cabinets made by Amish carpenters in Lancaster, Carerra marble countertops and a Brazilian soapstone sink crafted by Bucks County Soapstone in Perkasie, PA. I also installed new central air, a gas fireplace and a new oil burner. The bungalow is located in the middle of a very quiet tree-lined street so you will sleep very well. I suggest having a drink or coffee on the front porch to relax after you get here. The front porch has a table and seats six. The dining room seats six people as well. The antiques and art in the house are things I have collected over the years or inherited from my mother. I spend a lot of time in the city now, but I come out here for a quiet getaway and I call this my "country" house. You might see done chipmunks, squirrels, bunnies, birds, deer, a fox or two and a raccoon. Enjoy! Guest access Arrive by train: Elkins Park Train Station or Jenkintown Train Station and then take an uber to the bungalow. Other things to note Summer and Fall are the best times to be here although the winter is very pretty when it is snowing.
