About This Home

As of June 2025

Discover the perfect blend of classic charm and modern style in this stunning 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in the heart of Narberth Borough. As you approach, a welcoming covered flagstone porch invites you inside, where a sunlit living room with recessed lighting and gleaming hardwood floors creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining room features a stylish wine bar and deep windowsills, flowing effortlessly into the thoughtfully designed kitchen. Complete with granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, including SubZero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and GE profile stove, soft-close cabinetry, and a breakfast bar, this kitchen is both functional and elegant — ideal for hosting gatherings or enjoying everyday meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient mudroom offers a powder room, laundry area, and a coat closet, adding practical ease to your daily routine. The second floor hosts a serene primary suite with a walk-in closet and a private bath, complemented by two additional spacious bedrooms, a linen closet, and a hall bath. The third floor is a versatile space with exposed beams, built-in storage, two closets, and a full bath, making it perfect for a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or home office. Additional highlights include a full basement with outside access, offering the potential for expanded living space, and a spacious deck accessible from both the living room and mudroom — perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Outside, you'll find a generous fenced-in yard, a detached former garage/multi-function room with endless possibilities — a work-from-home office, kids’ TV and gaming room, artist studio, etc, and a private driveway with 2-3 car parking spaces. Ideally situated within walking distance of Narberth's vibrant shops, restaurants, movie theater, train station, and playground, this home is part of the prestigious Lower Merion School District and offers an easy commute to Center City via walkable bus and train stops. Experience the charm of small-town living paired with urban convenience — schedule your showing today and make this exceptional home yours! Square footage is estimated and includes the finished third-floor living space.
