| Notes: |
Built in 1880, this Elkins Park Victorian home was once owned by John Luther Long who wrote<br />
the story that would become Madame Butterfly. Much of the home’s original character is still<br />
intact including original hardwood floors, working wood windows, built-in benches on each<br />
staircase landing and in the dining room, two gas fireplaces, and stained-glass and leaded-glass<br />
windows. The exterior boasts a half-acre lot, slate roof, wraparound porch with a wooden swing,<br />
and a two-tier backyard with the original stone retaining wall.<br />
Enter the home through the front double doors and into an oversized foyer situated with a large<br />
coat closet and wide curved staircase with beautiful woodwork. Continue on through the pocket<br />
doors to the family room with its natural gas fireplace and through another set of pocket doors to<br />
the home’s formal dining room. Solid wood kitchen cabinets offer plenty of storage and through<br />
the kitchen you can access a half bath, spacious basement, back porch and rear staircase. The<br />
second floor has 3 large bedrooms oozing with original charm and an enormous bathroom. The<br />
primary second-floor bedroom has a curved turret wall, a half-circle embossed ceiling medallion,<br />
and the second gas fireplace. Continue up the grand staircase to the 3rd floor with two<br />
additional bedrooms and another large bathroom with a clawfoot tub.<br />
Unusual for a home of this period, the house has central air conditioning. All systems are in<br />
excellent working order, plaster has been repaired and both interior and exterior have been<br />
painted. Final painting and freshly sanded hardwood floors with be finished within 30 days. |
