Looking for a light-filled home that is both modern and unique, welcome to 919 Laburnum Lane, an original mid-century home built in 1963 and lovingly renovated in 2025. Tucked away in a quiet street just off Church Road, this unique mid-century French carriage house–inspired residence was custom-designed by architect Santo J. Lipari, renowned for his exhibition Form, Design and the City. Recently renovated with a brand-new roof and siding, newly updated bathrooms, the home blends timeless mid-century characters with modern updates, featuring original hardwood floors, a grand staircase with its original metal bannister, and expansive living areas filled with natural light.
The main level offers an eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into the open dining and living areas, highlighted by a brick fireplace, high ceilings, and two large sliding glass doors that open to a flagstone patio—perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Outside, the nearly three-quarter-acre, tree-lined lot includes a large detached two-car garage and ample green space. This first-floor level also has a private study or guest bedroom with custom built-ins right next to a stylish half bath, creating an ideal work-from-home or flex-space setup for first floor living.
Upstairs, you’ll find four large and bright bedrooms with lots of closet space, tall windows and two full baths, thoughtfully arranged to allow easy conversion into primary bedroom suites. These bedrooms are filled with classic mid-century windows, giving the room access to natural lights throughout the day while preserving the sense of privacy and comfort.
With over 3000 square feet of livingroom and high ceiling throughout, 919 Laburnum Lane offers an open living space with so much room to accommodate the most comfortable living arrangement, whether it is a growing family, or a multi-generational home with spaces for everyone. And if you need more space, the full high-ceiling walk-out basement could be finished to add more living or working space.
Conveniently located near the restaurants and shops of Jenkintown Borough and just a short drive to the Jenkintown–Wyncote SEPTA Regional Rail station. Locating in a good school district and within just minutes from the city, this green oasis with access to forest-like setting and wild life is the perfect place to call home.
