Welcome to Latham Park, Elkins Park's premier historic gated community. Built in the early 1920's,the ornate wrought iron gate invites you down the Parkway's captivating, private, tree-lined street. Situated on a little over a half acre, 23 Latham Park is a gracious Tudor with over 4700 square feet of comfortable living space. Step inside and you will be in awe of the classic architectural details, hardwood floors, walls of windows, built-in bookcases which all have been meticulously preserved. The formal living room exudes elegance and serenity. It features a beamed ceiling, and a historical grand fireplace with Mercer tiles. The newly renovated custom kitchen features a cabinet front refrigerator and dishwasher, granite counter tops, and tile flooring. This is truly a cook's kitchen, which is no doubt the "heart of the home". Hidden inside custom cabinetry, the washer and dryer is discreetly nestled next to the kitchen. No more trudging loads of laundry baskets up and down basement steps. Directly off the kitchen is a sunny formal dining room with crown molding, chair rails and the sunny sitting room. The spacious yet cozy family room features w/w carpet, large picture windows and direct access to the manicured grounds. Retreat to the second floor and you will find the master bedroom suite which includes a second stately fireplace flanked with Mercer tiles, large walk-in closet, and a 4-piece master bathroom featuring original subway tiles, and a beautiful leaded glass window. There are three additional bedrooms all with custom built-ins and large windows, and a second full bath. The third level houses the fifth bedroom, third full bath, and ample closet space. Out back is a two-car detached garage, long private driveway, and plenty of outdoor space for entertaining.
