As mason William Clark was driving around Wyncote<\/a> in 1988, he spotted a six-bedroom Queen Anne Victorian house that had great potential but needed a lot of work.<\/p>\n He spent much of the next 30-plus years working on the 19th-century house, which is in the Wyncote Historic District, until he died in 2024. <\/p>\n Clark redid the kitchen, put in a four-car driveway, and added a garage in 2017 to match the style of the original house.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a labor of love for him,\u201d said his wife, Patti, a programmer for an investment planning firm. But at 3,679 square feet, \u201cit\u2019s a great big house for one person.\u201d <\/p>\n So with the couple\u2019s three children all moved out and married, she is moving to a much smaller home in Blue Bell.<\/p>\n The Wyncote home features original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, pocket doors, two ornamental fireplaces, and front and rear staircases.<\/p>\n It has a side yard and a wraparound porch. The basement contains William\u2019s workroom.<\/p>\n The first floor has the kitchen with a built-in range and microwave, self-cleaning oven, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.<\/p>\n The second floor has four bedrooms, including the primary. The third floor has two bedrooms and an office.<\/p>\n The home is close to SEPTA<\/a>\u2019s Jenkintown-Wyncote Regional Rail station. Thomas Williams Park and Robinson Park are also nearby. <\/p>\n The house is in the Cheltenham<\/a> School District.<\/p>\n
