OPEN HOUSES: THURSDAY 4-6PM AND SUNDAY 1-3 Welcome to this gracious 3-story center hall colonial, perfectly perched on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Elkins Park. The home is side-facing, giving the covered front porch a lovely view of the picturesque neighborhood—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening chats. Inside, you'll find generously sized rooms, gleaming hardwood floors just refinished in 2025, and thoughtful updates. The living room features a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and French doors that open to the porch. A cozy room off the hallway makes the perfect den or home office, and there's a convenient first-floor powder room. The kitchen was fully renovated with new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, Quartz counters, and a breakfast bar counter open to the dining room, perfect for everyday living or entertaining. A bay window brightens the spacious dining area. On the second floor, there are four comfortably sized bedrooms, one full bathroom and laundry --just where you want it. On the third floor, there are two additional rooms (which would work well as extra bedrooms, private office or guest room), a full bathroom and large cedar closet for extra storage. Outside, you'll love walking right out your door and slipping into the refreshing water in your private in-ground pool. The pool is ready for summer with recent plumbing updates, new skimmers. a self-cleaning robot, and a mesh safety cover. The basement is unfinished but the walls are freshly painted and full of storage potential. Major updates include a 2024 high-efficiency gas heating system, tankless water heater, brand new 220 amp electrical panel, new windows, refinished hardwoods on first and second floor, and recent roof maintenance. Inspection report from 2024 is available for your review. This home has been well maintained and it shows. Conveniently located close to the Elkins Park train station with quick service to Temple U, Center City, 30th Street and the airport. This home is positioned within a walkable and scenic community, close to restaurants and shopping in Elkins Park, Jenkintown, Glenside and nearby Chestnut Hill. Come see 8214 Marion for yourself—you’ll appreciate the space, the updates, and the warm sense of home.
