About This Home

As of July 2012

Welcome to this wonderful home in highly desired Merion Park. The home was expanded and boasts 2 Master Bdrms, one with a seperate Sitting rm and both with private Baths. The larger of the two can be an In-Law Suite w/ elevator. It also has an oversized 3 car Garage. As you walk into the home from the covered porch, you are greeted with a spacious Living Rm with a FP & an equally roomy Dining Rm. Both have tons of natural light. The kitchen is small, but with the expanded area, there are plenty of possibilities for expansion. The Laundry is on the main level as is a Powder Rm. The 3 Bedrms are all generously sized and there are 3 full baths. There is a walkup to the floored attic. The Bsmnt is partially finished and offers plenty of options. All of the HW flrs have been refinished, the heating & AC systems are young and there is fresh paint throughout. You are walking distance to the park and very easy access to transportation, shopping and major roads. A $10,000 Remodel allowance is being offered as a credit
