- Description: My 1925 Tudor on half an acre in Elkins Park, PA is up for sale. Here's why I loved living in it
- Author: Ben Werdmuller

This is, perhaps, an unusual post for me in this space, but: I’m selling my home, it's a great house, and I want you to know about it.

[7 Windsor Ave, Elkins Park, PA](https://redf.in/nsPDEP) was built in 1925\. Set on half an acre of land, it’s a beautiful Tudor home with a ton of space and flexibility. [The photos speak for themselves.](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7-Windsor-Ave-Elkins-Park-PA-19027/9918234%5Fzpid/)

I loved living here. Its second floor rooms are well-suited to being set up as spacious work-from-home offices, which is what we did — the whole family comfortably worked from the house. I commuted into the offices in Manhattan and DC many times a month, which I found both easy and genuinely fun via train — and the rest of the time I enjoyed the leafy, peaceful neighborhood. It’s very close to schools and daycares, and it felt like a privilege to be able to do drop-off and pick-up on foot.

I’ve headed west for an opportunity I couldn’t say no to, but it was emotionally hard to part with it. I fell in love with it in many ways — there’s no way I could have this level of space and peace while maintaining proximity to major cities at this price in California.

Elkins Park is an architecturally significant suburb of Philadelphia: [Frank Lloyd Wright’s only synagogue](https://www.bethsholompreservation.org/) and [Lynnewood Hall](https://lynnewoodhallpreservation.org/) are both in the neighborhood, and the homes are magnificent. And as I mentioned above, it’s also a very accessible commute into New York City. There’s public transit within a few minutes’ walk, which takes you into Philadelphia, [30th Street Station](https://www.amtrak.com/stations/phl), and [Philadelphia International Airport](https://www.phl.org/) without changes. Elkins Park itself has restaurants, a coffee roastery, and [a great bookstore](https://openbookphilly.square.site/). The [*Crying in H Mart*](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612676/crying-in-h-mart-by-michelle-zauner/) H Mart is also here; the Korean restaurants in the neighborhood are so good that people travel from NYC to eat there. It’s just a few minutes away from Glenside — the [Keswick Theatre](https://www.keswicktheatre.com/) there hosts acts like the Magnetic Fields and John Waters — and Jenkintown, which is home to breweries, indie movie houses, and more.
