What This House Offers
Available for showings Friday, Sep. 11. Fully renovated mid-century modern home on an expansive lot in Rydal, just minutes from Jenkintown Town Center and walkable to Regional Rail. Thoughtfully updated while preserving the architectural details that make the home special, 838 Washington Lane offers four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, flexible living space and an unusually large yard. The heart of the home has been completely transformed into an open kitchen, living and dining space, with colorful designer finishes, quartz countertops, a large peninsula, beverage refrigerator and brand-new range. Original floor-to-ceiling mid-century windows bring abundant natural light into the main living level and connect the interior to the surrounding greenery. Three bedrooms are conveniently located together on the upper floor, including the primary suite with a beautifully renovated private bath. A second fully renovated bathroom serves the additional bedrooms. Upstairs, a huge loft-style fourth bedroom provides exceptional flexibility as a bedroom, playroom, home office, studio or combination of uses. The walk-out lower level basement offers even more living space and another wall of striking original mid-century windows, along with laundry, a powder room and direct access outside. Nearly new heat-pump HVAC, installed approximately 1.5 years ago, provides efficient heating and cooling. Outside, the oversized lot offers a rare amount of space, with a large yard, back deck and patio for outdoor dining, play and entertaining. An attached two-car garage and generous driveway provide plenty of parking and storage. All of this is tucked into Rydal while remaining convenient to the shops, restaurants and amenities of walkable Jenkintown Town Center, regional rail, parks and everyday shopping. Located in the highly regarded Abington School District, with Rydal Elementary as the neighborhood elementary school.
