About This Home

As of October 2022

Showings begin Thursday but you can schedule your appointment now! 121 Valley Road is a true gem. This "Urban Suburban” 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath Wissahickon Schist stone home is located on a stately tree-lined street in a fabulous walk-to everything location w/ incredibly LOW taxes! 121 Valley Road has a brand new roof and was just painted throughout. It is is ready for you to unpack your boxes & move right in. OR, you can add your personal touch, make some updates & be located on one of the most coveted streets in Ardmore where homes often sell for north of $1,700,000. Located in the Lower Merion School District & blocks from Suburban Square shopping such as Trader Joe’s, Apple, etc. plus many restaurants & LIFETIME Fitness, 121 Valley Road will not disappoint. Also, for those wanting public transport, this location is ideal w/ the Ardmore station only a few blocks away & a short train ride to Center City. In addition, the Ardmore station is an AMTRAK stop that can take you directly to NYC without having to change trains! Inside, this home offers 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 1st floor powder room, a 1st floor office, detached 1 car garage & a lovely flat rear yard! Approaching 121 Valley Rd, you can't help but fall in love with the charming & private covered front porch. Step inside & you will surely appreciate the elegant & large craftsman-style foyer w/ a wood-burning fireplace & built-in seating nook, perfect for relaxing or putting shoes on before heading out the door! To the left of the foyer you will find the formal living room which is spacious & inviting, also with an impressive wood burning fireplace & a handsome classical mantle-piece. This lovely room offers plenty of large windows to drench the room with sun & delightful custom built-in bookshelves. Off the living room is a generously sized room which the sellers used as a home office, big enough for both of them to work from home! This room has a separate entrance, large brick patio right outside, & could also be used as a 1st floor playroom or a 1st floor bedroom! To the right of the foyer, the dining room is elegant with a built-in china cabinet & spacious enough for large gatherings. Between the dining room & the kitchen, you will find a large butler's pantry, perfect for your storage or entertaining needs. The kitchen was completely remodeled in the late 1990’s & is perfectly accommodating with room for an eat-in kitchen table! Note, the new owners may want to consider an addition off the kitchen where the backyard patio is currently located that could also tie into the living room creating a great room and coveted circular flow! Or new owners could remove the interior basement steps & enlarge the kitchen within the current footprint! Off the other side of the kitchen is a nicely sized laundry/mudroom. This room leads out to the large flat rear yard & detached oversized 1 car garage. Finishing off this 1st floor is a powder room & access to the basement which is unfinished & mostly dry. Upstairs you will find 4 nicely sized bedrooms on the 2nd floor with 2 full bathrooms. One of these bedrooms has an en suite bathroom. The current owners used that bedroom as well as the connecting bedroom as their owners’ suite. However, the new buyers could use these rooms as 4 separate bedrooms if so desired. On the 3rd floor you will find 2 more large bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom with a claw foot tub. On this 3rd floor, the current owners used one of these 2 bedrooms as a playroom/hang out space for their children but it could also be used as the 6th bedroom in the home. Completing this floor are hall closets & a large cedar closet, perfect for your storage needs. Valley Road is a delightful & friendly street with frequent neighborhood gatherings, block parties & a true sense of community. 121 Valley Road offers the location, low taxes & a fabulous price point with plenty of room to improve & enjoy!
