About This Home

As of November 2023

Centrally located in the heart of Bala Cynwyd, 245 Old Lancaster Road is a hidden jewel. Behind its modest exterior, this wonderful 4,025 square foot home features 4 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms, with room to add another 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the existing footprint on the 2nd floor. Boasting high ceilings, abundant natural light, an open floor plan, lush views, and a private yard, this is the home you have been waiting for! Telecommute or need to see patients or clients? It is even zoned multi-use, allowing for the use of a real home office!

You will be delighted from the moment you enter the front door into the gracious foyer. To the right of the foyer is the grand living room with huge bay window that opens into the large dining room. The layout makes it a cinch to utilize both spaces simultaneously so that the dining room can easily overflow into the living room. The dining room boasts a wall of windows and glass doors which lead to the rear patio and yard, as well as providing entry to the kitchen. The well sized kitchen offers so many possibilities for customization and provides additional access to the rear yard and back into the foyer for true circular flow. To the left of the foyer is hallway leading to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including the master bedroom with walk-in closet and large en-suite bathroom.

Upstairs is a huge 4th bedroom, which could be used as-is or easily be modified to become 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms or another way to best accommodate your needs. Downstairs is a huge area with fireplace and grade level entry which was originally used as a family room but is currently being utilized as an office and waiting room. There is also a half bathroom, laundry room and 2 car garage on this level. 245 Old Lancaster Road truly offers it all- with its wonderful indoor spaces, and desirable location with easy walkability to the bus, train, the library, schools, shops, and restaurants; it will be a pleasure for its new owners.
