Colonial

Welcome home to this classic stone colonial located in the Lower Merion school district. You are welcomed by the lovely front garden, featuring well-established hostas rhododendrons and pachysandra. As you step through the formal entrance into the foyer, your eyes are immediately drawn to the open living and dining room, accentuated by a stunning wall of windows, original built-ins, and a 15-lite French door that opens to a large sunroom. The sunroom is the first of many exceptional "bonus" interior and exterior spaces unique to this home, and offers a cast iron gas stove that allows you to enjoy the room year-round. The kitchen is easily accessible through an additional entrance from the driveway, and features lovely wood cabinetry, granite counters, an eat-in bar, and also provides access to the first floor laundry room. Step through the dining room into a light filled space that features a 14' high cathedral ceiling. This impressive room can be used as a studio/office, family room, den, or large first floor bedroom to which a master bath can be easily added. As you head upstairs you notice the original millwork, doors, and antique door knobs that add charm throughout the home. This floor has 3 nice sized bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor, complete with 4 skylights, a stunning exposed stone wall, built-ins, and a powder room, makes for another private bedroom or place for reading and reflecting. Out back, your living experience extends into a large, entirely fenced back yard, complete with a fun play structure, and two foot-bridges that cross a creek to an additional garden space. A wood deck and flag stone patio are fantastic places to entertain, and if you look closely you can find even one more hidden garden. Out front, two doors down, a footpath provides quick and easy access to the lovely "Shortridge Memorial" park, and you can take your pick as a 5-6 block walk takes you to either the Narberth or Wynnewood Septa station. Surrounded by nature, yet minutes from amazing restaurants, a new Whole Foods Market, a movie theater, bookstores and retail, parks and ball fields, this is a tremendous place to live. Central air, new windows, gas appliances, the private driveway, large yard, established gardens, exceptional bonus rooms, and amazing community and schools, help seal the deal. Act quickly!
