Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from July 28, 2023
This charming stone colonial set on a large lot in the heart of Lower Merion has much to offer. Special features include wood floors, central air, a one-car attached garage, and a newly paved driveway with additional parking. The front walkway leads to a screened-in porch with flagstone, perfect for enjoying warm evenings. As you enter the home, you will immediately notice the abundant character brought by wood floors, crown and chair rail molding, a fireplace, and built-ins in the living and dining rooms. The welcoming foyer has a coat closet and lovely wood staircase with banister. The functional kitchen has a window over the sink and access to the one-car attached garage, driveway, and yard. Off the kitchen, there is a two-room addition with laundry, full bath, and flexible space—one room could easily serve as a home office or bedroom, with its two closets. On the second floor you will find the main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom. A linen closet and walk-up attic complete this level. The mechanicals, sump pump and a utility sink are on the unfinished, lower level. Located in the award-winning Lower Merion School District, this home is within walking distance to all that Haverford and Bryn Mawr have to offer, including the shops at Haverford Square, White Dog Café, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, Ludington Library, Gladwyne Elementary School, and walking trails at Haverford College. You are also close to the Acme and the Bakery House, and the Regional Rail is just minutes away for a smooth, easy commute to Center City. Don’t miss this rare opportunity!
