Property Description

Step into timeless elegance with this sun-splashed Colonial gem nestled in the heart of a serene residential enclave. Offering 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths plus sunroom and den, this early 20th-century abode exudes classic charm and modern convenience. As you approach, be greeted by the inviting brick terraced front porch, flanked by Doric columns, offering the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood ambiance. The gable roof with dormer windows on the third floor adds architectural interest, while the natural stone basement and pebble dash clad exterior exudes enduring appeal. Enter through the solid oak front door into a double living room, where a wood-burning fireplace awaits in the cozy seating area to the left, while the spacious main area beckons with abundant natural light streaming through generous bay windows. Mullioned glass French doors lead to the formal dining room, adorned with exquisite picture frame, crown, and chair rail molding, and featuring a deep bay window for elegant dining experiences. The updated eat-in kitchen exudes French bistro charm with subway-tiled backsplash, Viking oven, Carrera marble counters, and open shelves providing ample storage and display space. Hardwood floors throughout the main level create a warm and cohesive ambiance, while a back hall conveniently houses the side-by-side laundry and a powder room, with access to the back porch and yard. Ascend the beautifully detailed staircase to the second level central hall, where three bedrooms await along with a freshly renovated tiled hall bath. A sitting room with an adjoining sunroom offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by verdant views of the neighborhood. The top-floor dormer level boasts two additional bedrooms, including the main or primary bedroom and a versatile family room with an adjoining walk-in closet. The vintage bathroom showcases a clawfoot tub, wood floors, and a marble-topped vanity, adding a touch of old-world charm. The full basement offers flexible space for a workout area or abundant storage and houses the mechanical systems of the home. Outside, the detached two-car garage serves as gardening storage and a separate music studio and jam space. Conveniently located with easy access to City Avenue's Bala Cynwyd shopping center, Montgomery Ave. shopping and dining options, and just minutes from Center City Philadelphia, this property offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and access to urban convenience. With the added benefit of being situated in the award-winning Lower Merion School District, this walkable and bikeable location is truly a fantastic place to call home!
