An Elkins Park Georgian Revival built during the Depression blends traditional and modern elements to perfection, writes Sandy Smith for Philadelphia.

The home built in 1935 has many unique features including the prominent central wing, large double-hung windows, and the curving main stairs in the foyer.

The main floor includes a wood-paneled library with built-in bookcases, a living room with a fireplace, and a sitting nook in its bow windows as well as a screened-in sun porch.

The large kitchen in the rear of the house has been renovated in a more modern style with a tile floor, updated lighting, and stainless-steel appliances.

The home also features a large swimming pool, a cabana with two bathrooms, and a two-car detached garage.

The 5-bedroom home with 3 full and 2 half baths is on the market for $849,000. Right now, it is under contract, but the seller may continue to show the house and accept other offers.

The Elkins Park property has some impressive neighbors like Lynnewood Hall, the La Mott Community Center which sits on the site of Camp William Penn, and Latham Park which dates to the Gilded Age.
