1214 Bockius Ave, Abington, PA 19001

Description

You’ve never seen an Abington home quite like this! Originally built as an Abington Township firehouse and later moved to its current location, this truly unique home has been transformed into a spacious four bedroom Colonial style residence with 1,864 square feet of living space. The history gives this home a character and sense of space that is hard to find in today’s homes.

From the enclosed front porch, step into a large entrance parlor featuring high ceilings, an open staircase and ceiling fan. The spacious living room offers beautiful wood floors and a built in bookshelf, while the oversized formal dining room features wood floors, three large windows and plenty of natural light.

The kitchen includes a gas range, microwave and recessed lighting and opens to a separate breakfast room with direct access to the rear deck. A first floor full bathroom adds convenience.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and a full hall bathroom with stall shower. Outside, the level, fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room for entertaining, gardening or play, with a large storage shed for additional space.

The unfinished basement provides laundry and storage and includes new basement steps and an updated electrical system. Additional improvements include a gas heater replaced in 2017, central air installed in 2021, Andersen windows and exterior doors installed throughout in 2021, and new gutters and downspouts.

There is a lot to appreciate here, but this is a home that really needs to be seen to appreciate its spacious rooms, high ceilings, natural light and one of a kind character. If you’re looking for something different from the typical Abington home, put 1214 Bockius Avenue on your list to see!
