About This Home

As of July 2025

Stunning Fully Renovated Home in the Heart of Merion Station! 726 S Highland Ave has been meticulously restored and fully reimagined to blend traditional and charming 1900's feel with brand new, top-to-bottom features and amenities. This home offers over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully finished living space in the coveted Lower Merion School District, with 6-bedrooms, 4.5-bathrooms across three spacious levels and a fully finished basement.

Step inside through the refinished original oak front door and be greeted by an open-concept floor plan featuring a grand formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace wrapped in marble, a chef’s dream kitchen with oversized island, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting, and a built-in mini bar with drink fridge. The oversized adjoining dining area is ideal for entertaining.

The first floor also boasts a laundry room with new washer/dryer, mudroom, powder room, and refinished 3/4” solid hardwood floors throughout. Two staircases, including one with refinished over-the-post walnut banisters, lead to the upper levels.

The second floor features a luxurious primary suite with an en-suite bathroom, custom glass shower, dual vanity, and a large walk-in California closet. Two additional bedrooms share a stylish full bath with a tub/shower combo. Upstairs on the third floor, you'll find three more spacious bedrooms—perfect for a guest suite, home office, or playroom—and another full bath.

The finished lower level adds approx. 1,000 sq ft of living space, complete with a full bath, recessed lighting, new flooring, a large storage area, and walkout access to a private, professionally landscaped backyard. Enjoy your mornings and evenings on the oversized covered front porch with refinished heart pine flooring and exterior lighting/fan, or on the brand new huge composite deck and privately lush lawn.

Additional highlights include:
-New energy-efficient 2-zone HVAC & insulation
-Tankless hot water system with circulation pump
-California closets throughout
-Detached oversized 2-car garage with 12’ ceilings, attic storage & electrical hookup
-Walking distance to the train station
