| 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, an abundance of electrical outlets, and deep, oversized closets. All systems are in excellent working order, and plaster has been repaired throughout the home. |
