Welcome to Holmecrest, a historic gem nestled on a secluded 1-acre parcel in Elkins Park. Originally commissioned by local developer Joshua A. Holmes in 1926 as his personal residence, this distinguished stone manor has a rich history spanning 98 years and has been cherished by only five owners. Notably, it was once home to Rona Brunswick (nee Bronfman), daughter of a Seagrams founder, fostering ties with the Kennedy family during Prohibition.***The landscaped circular drive leads to the front porch with the main entrance, as well as to a drive through portico to the detached two car garage. An electric station is present for a Tesla. Holmecrest offers timeless elegance and modern amenities in a coveted parklike setting. The drive is lined with peonies on one side and hydrangeas on the other. This is more than a home; it's a piece of history awaiting its next steward. ***The main entrance leads to a gracious foyer where living spaces radiate elegantly. A cozy paneled library with a wet bar faces southwest, while the expansive living room boasts exquisite trim moldings, a bay window, and a gas fireplace with a detailed Georgian mantel. Beautiful glass French doors lead to the living room and dining room. The formal dining room, bright and spacious, features a crystal chandelier and bay window, offering serene views of the expansive rear yard. The updated kitchen is a chef's delight with marble counters, Sub-Zero fridge, new stove & dishwasher, dual sinks on a peninsula & island, and a breakfast area. New sliders lead to the rear deck where you can enjoy beautiful views while dining outdoors. ***As you ascend the stairs to the second floor there is a stunning stained glass window on the landing. The second floor offers a primary suite which includes a sitting area and an en-suite bath with a luxurious glass shower for two, dual sinks and new heated tile floor. Additional bedrooms offer private en-suite or adjacent baths, with convenient laundry facilities on the second floor. All five bedrooms in the home are spacious and have good closet space. A back staircase from this floor leads to the kitchen area. ***The third floor accommodates two more bedrooms and a full bath, complemented by ample storage closets. The finished basement hosts a family room with a walkout slider to a pergola-covered patio, a large office area, utility area and ample storage along with a powder room. *** This home has been updated for comfort throughout. New high velocity A/C for first floor and basement. New Air Handler on the third floor which cools 2nd & 3rd floors. Additional mini splits in kitchen and 3rd floors if needed. Home has had the electrical system updated including the two car detached garage and its loft. This area is the perfect area for future additional living space; home office, art studio, man cave or whatever you may need. *** Too many upgrades to list here but interested buyers can request Home Improvement List from their agent.*** This home is conveniently located just three blocks from Elkins Park train station and CreekSide market, shops, restaurants and more. Neighborhood parks and trails are within walking distance. Home is close to 611, 309 & turnpike for easy travel.
