Welcome to 1708 Madeira Avenue…a gorgeous brick Colonial offering more than 5,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space on one of Abington Township’s lovely tree-lined streets. Surrounded by magnificent sycamore trees and set on a beautiful lot, this home combines classic character, generous room sizes, incredible entertaining space & an exceptionally convenient location. And just wait until you see the “SHOWSTOPPER” of a family room…keep reading & be sure to look at the photos.
Step inside to a welcoming foyer and a first floor designed for the way people live today. With not one, but two private home offices, there is plenty of flexibility for working from home, homework, hobbies or quiet retreat space. A comfortable living room/den and spacious formal dining room provide even more room for everyday living & entertaining.
The beautifully updated kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, upgraded countertops, a tile backsplash, updated appliances, a gas built-in range, plus a built-in wall oven and built-in microwave, and a large center island with seating. The kitchen opens to a sunny breakfast room with pantry storage and sliding doors leading to the private patio.
Just beyond is the showstopper…an absolutely enormous family room made for gathering. With a soaring vaulted ceiling, large bar, two sets of sliding doors to the outdoors and a gas stove providing warmth and ambiance, this is the kind of room where everyone wants to be. There is space for a large sectional, pool table, game areas and more…and the current owners have comfortably hosted gatherings of more than 70 people in this incredible space. Whether hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet night at home, the possibilities are endless.
A powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and beautifully renovated private bath featuring gorgeous tile and glass shower doors. The renovated hall bath is equally impressive with double sinks and a tub/shower combination.
The finished lower level adds another tremendous amount of flexible living space and is ideal for a media room, playroom, second family room, home gym or combination of all of the above. Brand-new carpeting gives the space a fresh, finished feel. The lower level also includes a large storage/utility room and an exceptionally functional laundry room with plenty of room for folding and organization. Two separate stairways provide convenient access to the lower level.
Outside, the property is every bit as special as the interior. The expansive yard offers wonderful space for entertaining, gardening, a game of badminton, croquet, volleyball or simply enjoying the outdoors, while a private deck and koi pond create a peaceful place to unwind. A two-car garage and plenty of off-street parking adds even more convenience.
Additional features include wood floors, crown molding, chair rail, tile flooring, two full baths plus two powder rooms, an electric fireplace in one of the offices and updated smart-home features throughout, including lighting and integrated technology designed for everyday comfort and convenience.
