Property Description
Wonderful opportunity in one of Philly Suburbs' most charming Main Line communities - this handsome Dutch Colonial in Lower Merion School District is in an excellent location. Haverford College, St. Joe's and Lankenau are all within easy reach, and commuting via rail couldn't be simpler - both Narberth and Merion Station are just a few short blocks away. Merion Elementary is nearby, too! The home is a beautiful interpretation of the Dutch Colonial form, expressed most prominently in its gambrel roof and large shed dormers. The entrance on its long side, exterior-end chimney and large full-width covered porch imbue its curb appeal with the charm of a by-gone era. Recent upgrades to the home's interior were designed to seamlessly blend with its original decorative elements and quality materials. The marriage of old and new results in the retention of the home's historic integrity while the upgrades reflect the needs of today's discerning home owner. Enter through the under-curved portico into the home's formal living room, where you'll find plenty of room to entertain - a door on either side of the stone fireplace leads to the large covered porch and spacious entryways to both the kitchen and dining rooms offer fantastic flow. The open kitchen with white cabinets and peninsula overlooks a sun-filled breakfast room; sliders to the rear deck make enjoying meals al fresco a breeze. A large pantry lies just between the kitchen and dining room and the powder room is located just beside the rear sliders - fantastic for quick cleanup after a day of gardening or play! Four bedrooms and full hall bath on the second floor and a recently-renovated third floor suite with en-suite bath make the most of the space in this historic gem. The third floor, in particular, provides fantastic flexibility and would make an excellent owners suite, guest suite, family room, home office or playroom. Beautiful landscape installations surround the property. Located in a neighborhood of similarly charming homes and beautifully-landscaped lots, with loads of character amongst its sidewalk-lined streets. Minutes from the Blue Route, easy access to shopping and Center City.
