About this home
Welcome to 242 Church Rd in Elkins Park, where classic Colonial character meets modern updates in a convenient Montgomery County setting. As you arrive, the home’s inviting front porch sets the tone, offering a warm first impression before you step inside.
Enter the home and you’re welcomed into a spacious three-story layout with approximately 2,518 square feet of living space. Hardwood flooring adds warmth and continuity throughout, while the updated kitchen and refreshed bathrooms bring the modern touches today’s buyers appreciate. With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home offers flexible space for a variety of needs, whether that means additional bedrooms, office space, creative space, guest accommodations, or room to spread out.
Continue through the main level and you’ll find practical features that make everyday living easier, including a convenient first-floor laundry area, a mudroom, and off-street parking. Out back, the rear deck overlooks a generous yard, creating an easy extension of the living space. Set on an approximately 9,000 sq. ft. lot / 0.21 acres, the property offers valuable outdoor space for recreation, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying more room outside.
Now, take in the surrounding Elkins Park location. The area offers access to parks, historic landmarks, cultural destinations, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Nearby points of interest include Wall Park and the Richard Wall House Museum, Beth Sholom Synagogue, Elkins Estate Wedding & Event Venue, historic St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Curtis Arboretum, and Keswick Theatre in nearby Glenside.
For travel and regional access, the home is near SEPTA Regional Rail service, including Elkins Park Station, with connections along the Warminster Line, West Trenton Line, and Lansdale/Doylestown Line. Major routes such as Old York Road/Route 611, Cheltenham Avenue, and Township Line Road provide additional connections to Philadelphia, Abington, Jenkintown, Glenside, and surrounding Montgomery County destinations.
242 is served by the Cheltenham School District, with nearby public school options commonly including Elkins Park School, Cedarbrook Middle School, and Cheltenham High School. Buyers should independently verify school assignments, boundaries, transportation, and enrollment details directly with the district.
From the front porch to the updated interior, from the rear deck to the spacious lot, and from nearby transit to local landmarks and amenities, 242 Church Rd offers a compelling blend of space, updates, convenience, and Elkins Park character....
