Classic Jenkintown elegance meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully maintained stone and slate residence, set on a stunning, maturely landscaped property at 705 Cloverly Avenue. Surrounded by mature trees, established flower beds, manicured lawns, and a full irrigation system, the property offers exceptional curb appeal and a sense of privacy rarely found so close to the heart of Jenkintown.
The stone exterior is complemented by copper gutters, a main slate roof maintained annually by Rock Roofing, and a newly paved driveway and brick walkway leading to the home. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, including a beautiful Bluestone slate patio and a substantial three-car garage featuring two bonus rooms, abundant equipment and storage space, and overhead storage. The garage roof was replaced in 2025.
Inside, the home blends classic architectural character with carefully selected improvements. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, while the front entry features quarry tile and the rear mudroom includes a slate floor. The gracious center-hall layout features a classic wood staircase and banister, crown molding, pocket doors, custom built-ins, and thoughtfully placed windows that bring natural light throughout.
The updated chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a combination of hardwood and brick-tile flooring with radiant heat, quartzite countertops, custom Amish cabinetry, Viking stainless-steel appliances, a vaulted hardwood ceiling, Andersen windows, recessed lighting, a pot-filler faucet, additional bar sink, and a large pantry with a convenient butler staircase provides additional access to the 5th bedroom on the second floor..
The spacious living room features crown molding, decorative sconces, and a gas fireplace, with pocket doors. A half bath is conveniently located near the main entrance, while the adjoining study offers beautiful parquet flooring and a quiet space for an office, library, or sitting room. The family room located on the driveway side of the home, has a large bay window and a gorgeous stone gas-fireplace.
The second floor offers five bedrooms, three full baths, including a spacious primary suite with an ensuite bath and dedicated laundry area. The bedrooms feature crown molding, ample closet space, custom blinds, and custom built-in shutters. Fresh paint throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms creates a clean, move-in-ready feel. A custom Dutch door adds character to the vestibule leading toward the fifth bedroom.
The finished lower level provides approximately 576 additional square feet of finished space, with new carpeting, a large closet/storage area, half bath, freshly parged walls, and Bilco doors providing access toward the rear patio. The basement also features perimeter waterproofing and additional unfinished utility/storage space. Mechanical improvements include a natural gas boiler serviced by Backman Heating & Air, along with a substantial 200-amp electrical service.
The third floor provides two exceptionally large additional rooms currently utilized for storage, along with an extra-large cedar closet. The space also offers roughed-in options for future heating from the existing boiler, providing tremendous potential for additional finished space if desired.
This is a special property that combines timeless Jenkintown architecture with exceptional grounds, extensive storage, a rare three-car garage, quality materials, and years of thoughtful maintenance and improvements. From the slate roof and copper gutters to the radiant-heated kitchen floor, Viking appliances, Bluestone patio, and mature landscape, 705 Cloverly Avenue offers the character, scale, and craftsmanship that discerning buyers have been looking for.
