About This Home
As of January 2020Welcome to 18 Bryn Mawr Ave! This stately 5+ bedroom 3.5 bath Colonial residence is an architectural gem that has been meticulously maintained and tastefully upgraded throughout. Rarely does a home so seamlessly blend old world charm with modern convenience, all just 12 minutes to Center City and in award-winning Lower Merion School District! The stunning stone archways invite you onto the open air covered porch with ceiling fans and a private retreat with mature landscaping. Enter through the porch or side entryway to an inviting, sunlight-filled home perfect for entertaining. The first floor boasts a large living room and open concept dining room that flows seamlessly to the gourmet kitchen. With stainless steel Viking appliances, granite countertops, solid wood cabinets and a large center island, it is the perfect space to gather. The kitchen exits to the rear yard with a newly hardscaped flagstone patio and lawn area. Walk up the 4-foot wide staircase to find the large master suite with a window seat and large walk-in closet/dressing room. Two more bedrooms and a hallway bathroom round out the second floor. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, with one attached to an en-suite bathroom. Downstairs, the clean walk-out basement is perfect for a playroom, office, workshop, or additional storage space. The detached 2-car garage provides covered parking and more storage, along with plenty of driveway parking as well. The current owners planned to stay for many years, and invested in rigorous property improvements including new Andersen windows ($50,000), a new fence with gated driveway ($12,000), a new flagstone patio ($10,000) and landscaping ($2300), Rockwood planation shutters ($12,000), new lighting and plumbing fixtures ($2600), ceiling fans and LED dimmable switches ($1100), a gas fireplace ($2000), Italian marble backsplash ($2000), and all new interior paint ($5000). The previous owners installed central air conditioning and 200-amp electrical service. This property is truly one of a kind, with nothing left to do but move in! Bala Cynwyd residents enjoy a convenient commute, with great walkability to the Cynwyd train line, Cynwyd heritage walking trail, as well as schools, playgrounds, places of worship, restaurants, and entertainment.
