1894 Queen Anne Victorian in Wyncote’s Historic District. One of the last remaining Angus Wade showpiece homes, this well preserved 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home features many original features including stained glass, elegant wood trim, original cast iron radiators, and many original period lighting fixtures. The ground floor boasts eleven-foot ceilings, charming window seats, a stately hallway and a new, stunning kitchen, the centerpiece of which is a double La Cornue oven, custom hood and Moroccan handmade tile backsplash. A wrap-around porch with a cozy fire pit and spacious yet homey living and family rooms (complete with working pocket doors, distinctive lighting features, and window seats), and a grand dining room provide ample space to gather and enjoy the holidays. Take the grand central staircase to the second floor, which features four bedrooms, including one with a private balcony, one with a separate sitting room/lounge, and the other two with built-in window seats. The laundry room and two baths complete this level. Up another flight of stairs, the former servants’ quarters on the third floor features two oversized bedrooms (one with a built-in living room or home office space) and a separate kitchen and bathroom, making this level ideally suited for guests, teenagers or adult children that have come back home. The details in the house are not to be missed. Built for a patent medicine salesman (Charles Kunkle) at the turn of the 20th century, every room in the house exudes history. Outside you can enjoy a vast collection of Japanese maples and 100-year-old oaks and landscaping that provides a peaceful ambience to the large lot, providing the entire family room for privacy, play and cooking out.
