Comments for 1964 MELMAR ROAD , Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006
Welcome to Biddle Estates — a sought-after neighborhood known for beautiful homes, large lots, and homeowners who rarely leave. Set on a scenic lot, this home offers a quiet retreat that’s hard to find. This handsome Tudor-style home welcomes you through an arched wood door into a traditional colonial layout, beginning with a dramatic two-story foyer, a formal living room and a generously sized dining room ready for gatherings of any kind. The updated kitchen is thoughtfully laid out, with an island, pantry, under-cabinet lighting, gas range, built-in microwave/convection oven and an eating area that naturally becomes the center of the home. It opens to the inviting family room, creating a connected space for daily living and entertaining, anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace. Both the kitchen and family room have bay windows, offering stunning views of one of this property's standout features --a sprawling backyard with woods beyond. Step outside onto the expansive deck (rebuilt in 2020) and enjoy everything from quiet evenings listening to nature, to summer cookouts with friends. A laundry room and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find four well-sized bedrooms and a hall bath. The expansive primary suite includes a sitting area, walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom with a tub and separate shower. The finished basement offers flexible space for a gym, rec room, or workspace, with its own exterior entrance — a great bonus for whatever you need it to be. The side-entry three-car garage gives you more space than you thought you needed, and recent updates like newer front windows add peace of mind. The location ties it all together — with Pennypack Trail and Lorimer Park nearby, and regional rail just a mile away for quick access to Center City.
