About This Home
Welcome to 127 Birch Avenue, a distinguished 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial on a picturesque, tree-lined street in Bala Cynwyd. Blending the character and craftsmanship of a c.1910 home with the comfort and style of modern living, this property truly offers the best of both worlds. Updated throughout with high-end finishes, an open floor plan, and a beautifully renovated kitchen, it’s ideal for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
A sun-filled enclosed porch leads into the bright, elegant interior. The living room is both sleek and inviting, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent dining room—complete with a charming bay window—sets the perfect stage for gatherings of any size. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features a center island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and abundant storage. A mudroom and powder room complete the main level.
The second floor offers three bedrooms (one currently serving as a home office), a full bathroom, and convenient laundry. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms, including the spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet. A luxurious full bath with dual sinks, a stall shower, and soaking tub completes this level. The basement is unfinished but clean and functional, offering ample storage or future potential.
Outside, the level, private backyard feels like a serene retreat, enhanced by lush landscaping and a stone patio—perfect for relaxing or hosting guests.
This coveted location offers small-town charm with big-city convenience. Within the Lower Merion High School Choice Zone, families may choose between two award-winning high schools. The local library, Cynwyd Trail, and nearby parks add to the community appeal. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to the Cynwyd Train Station, with quick Regional Rail access to Center City.
Historic charm, modern upgrades, and a premier Main Line setting—127 Birch Avenue delivers a lifestyle that’s truly exceptional.
