Property Description
This classic 1915 era 2 story center hall colonial has 3-4 bedrooms and is ideally located. It is within walking distance to Merion train station (.4 miles) Bala Cynwyd library, shops and restaurants on Montgomery Ave at Levering Mill Rd, Merion Botanical Park, and Merion elementary school.
An open center hall foyer welcomes you with light pouring from windows at the charming winding stairwell. To the right is the living room with high ceilings and beautifully detailed crown molding. The fireplace is flanked by two sets of French doors which lead to an open porch. There are multiple windows at both ends of the room which provide an abundance of natural light throughout the day. A coat closet is under the stairwell. The dining room is to the left of the center hall, it has windows on two sides of the room and is quite spacious. From the dining room step into the cozy breakfast nook with window overlooking the grassy yard. The kitchen is an efficient layout. It has cabinets that go up to the ceiling for extra storage. A window at the sink gives wonderful views of lawn and trees. There is a newer Bosch dishwasher and electric stove (there is gas in the property). Washer and dryer in the kitchen are another convenience. A powder room is off the kitchen. The other door exits to the enclosed breezeway for extra storage and access to the spacious back yard. More storage is provided by clever shelving inserts and converted back steps closet.
As you go up to the second floor, you will see the amazing bookshelves that make excellent use of the space. To the left is the corner primary bedroom with windows on 2 sides, it leads to small office or dressing room with 2 closets. The newer primary bath is a delight, full of light and was beautifully designed with large shower and handsome tile work.
As you go back to the stairwell, continue down the hall to the second very large bedroom on the left. It has a big closet and light is coming from the corner windows. The third large bedroom is at the end of the hall with windows on 3 sides. A pull-down attic access is in the middle of the hall. The 4th den/bedroom has a closet with book shelving in it and could easily be converted to a closet and be identified and used as a 4th bedroom.
The basement is accessed by a stairwell in the kitchen hallway. A newly installed gas fired (95% efficiency) boiler/hot water tank (summer/winter hookup) was installed by Boyle Energy in July 2024 with transferable warranty. There are replacement windows and French doors throughout the home except for two windows that were not accessible. A one car garage is attached to house with no access from interior of house.
This home is in a bright and sunny location due to the east and west exposures. It has easy access to Center City and farther out suburbs, as well as the pleasure of enjoying the nearby amenities.
