About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to 400 North Essex Avenue, a charming corner lot home nestled in the heart of Narberth. This cheerful, light-filled residence was extensively renovated in 2018, and offers a perfect blend of character, comfort and convenience, boasting 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across 2800 square feet of finished living space.

Step inside to discover a warm and inviting atmosphere, highlighted by a cozy fireplace in the living room. The flexible, open floor plan is well-suited both for everyday living and for hosting family gatherings or dinner parties. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage. The eat-in area is ideal for casual meals, and leads back to the convenient first floor laundry facilities and powder room. Downstairs, the finished basement provides a versatile space that can be used as a playroom, home office, or additional living area, and has access to the attached garage, as well as a separate walk-out entry to the backyard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is lined with beautiful picture windows, giving the feeling of a luxurious treehouse. A spacious en suite bathroom has a large tile and glass shower, double sink vanity and two closets. Two nicely sized bedrooms and a hall bath round out the second floor, and the fourth bedroom, currently used as an office, can be found on the third floor.

Outside, the front porch offers a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the neighborhood's vibrant atmosphere. The fully fenced backyard offers a private outdoor space, and gets plenty of sun, perfect for the home gardener. This home is situated in the award-winning Lower Merion School District and with its walkable location, you're just a short distance from Narberth's charming shops, restaurants, parks, and the regional train station. Don't miss the opportunity to make this lovely Narberth home your own!
