About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 114 — a beautifully maintained Craftsman-style home just steps from Suburban Square, downtown Ardmore, and the SEPTA/Amtrak train station. Enjoy easy access to shops, restaurants, parks, schools, and the Farmers Market, all within walking distance. This gem sits in the award-winning Lower Merion School District.

Boasting timeless curb appeal, the home features an expansive covered front porch perfect for relaxing with a book or morning coffee while overlooking a professionally landscaped front yard and native pollinator garden, thoughtfully designed by Refugia Design.

Inside, the home offers the perfect blend of original charm and thoughtful updates. The welcoming foyer with pine wood flooring opens to a spacious living room with large windows for views of the lush front yard. Opposite is the sunlit formal dining room, which flows into an expanded eat-in kitchen featuring soapstone countertops, abundant cabinetry, and room for a breakfast table with direct access to the rear deck—perfect for entertaining. A stylishly remodeled powder room with radiant heated floors is conveniently located off the kitchen completing the main floor.

Upstairs, the second floor features a bright Primary Ensuite with a stunning spa-inspired bathroom. Highlights include radiant heated floors, a white soaking tub, custom cement trough sink by Craftwork Design of Philadelphia, Kohler fixtures, and a beautifully tiled shower with built-in seating and a glass enclosure.

Bedrooms 4 and 5 can be found on the third floor along with two versatile nooks—perfect for a home office, reading corner, or creative space. Pine wood flooring continues on this level.

The walk-out basement is unusually bright and houses the laundry area, with ample potential for future finished living space.

Out back, enjoy a fully fenced-in yard with newer decking, a new shed (2025), and plenty of room for gardening, play, or relaxing in privacy.
