There have been so many wonderful occasions there, including their wedding in the long sprawling lawn, that led the guest to the pool area.

This house is like my dream home, and I guess it will be sold to a family who will enjoy all the charm of great workmanship. My grandfather was a builder in Elkins Park, and he used to show me fine workmanship when I was a little girl. Beautiful stonework, floors that are built to last a century, lovely woodwork.

I saw this in my cousin's home at  719 Ashbourne Drive in Elkins Park.My friends said it looks like a million dollar home, and it is up for sale for half of that amount.  See for yourself...

this is the lovely view as you arrive.

 The Pennsylvania stonework in the living room is set off by the crown moldings.

The Dining Room has always been a place for the family to gather during the holidays. It looks majestic and my cousin, Fran changes it for each season.

No matter what's going on, everyone congregates in the kitchen. This one is all new, and has a lot of work space. My cousin made amazing dinners in here...and moist turkeys came out of the oven (unlike my own).

The pool is grand, the photo is small, though (sorry). 4 Bedrooms, 4-1/2 baths and almost a full acre of land (like your own private park).

This home has always been a special place and I hope some of my friends here on Active Rain will help it to find its next wonderful family....that will love it, as we have.

Call Connie Berg at 215-517-1845, if you want to see it. Tell her cousin Lois sent you.
