Description

Coming Soon! Additional photos will be available Wednesday, May 7th and showings will begin Thursday, May 8th! Make your appointments today! For the first time ever, this lovingly cared-for home is ready for its next chapter. Tucked away in the quiet, walkable Roslyn section of Abington Township, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch has been owned and cherished by one family since it was built—and it shows in all the right ways. Freshly painted and filled with natural light, the home welcomes you with a spacious living room featuring a beautiful picture window—the kind of spot perfect for cozy mornings and watching the seasons change. A large addition offers flexible space for a family room, home office, or play area, depending on where life takes you next. Step outside through sliding glass doors to a covered patio overlooking a peaceful, fully fenced backyard. It’s the kind of yard that invites you to slow down—complete with mature trees, room to garden or play, and even a small pond with a water fountain that adds just the right touch of calm. There’s a pull-down attic with generous storage, off-street parking, and a location that’s truly special—just a short walk to Roslyn Park and playground, and close to schools, shopping, and more. This isn’t just a house. It’s a home with history, warmth, and heart—and now it’s ready to welcome someone new.
