About This Home
As of January 2021Just steps from the Merion Train station and Botanical Park is a neighborhood that is close to everything and yet feels like a step back in time. The kind of neighborhood that has ?real? neighbors, and homes that have character and architectural detail. A nice sidewalk lined street that is tucked away from traffic. This home welcomes you with a large porch big enough for entertaining or just relaxing with a cup of tea. This is the Colonial you have been searching for, so don?t miss it. When you enter, you immediately know that the home has been loved. The beautiful staircase at the back of the foyer is a great focal point. To your right is the large living room with fireplace and built ins. It also has a French door to the wonderful oversized porch. To your left is the formal dining room, also with French doors to the front porch. The butlers pantry was repurposed as a great office space and is adjacent to the updated kitchen. The kitchen is just the right configuration for cooking with a cool large Island that can seat 3 or 4 for a meal or be used by the cook as extra prep space. The kitchen is accessible to a Den at the back of the home that overlooks the nicely landscaped backyard. On the 2nd floor, you will find the Large Master bedroom. There are 2 additional bedrooms connected by a "Jack & Jill" bathroom, plus laundry tuck away on the landing. Now up to the 3rd floor. Here you will find 2 more nice size bedrooms and shared hallway Bathroom. The basement is unfinished with ceilings tall enough to want to finish. The sellers have been excellent stewards of this home and put on a new roof, rewired it in its entirety, updated the kitchens and baths Fenced the backyard, updated the kitchen, installed new 2nd floor laundry and the list goes on. All done within the last 2 years. Finishing out the exterior is a 2 car detached garage and enough parking for 2 more cars. A special home that has been well cared for in a special neighborhood. Don?t miss this one.
