The open-concept chef’s kitchen and formal dining area are equipped with stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, a breakfast bar, custom built-in benches, and a cozy fireplace.

Outside, the property is surrounded by mature trees and terraced gardens, providing a rare combination of privacy and openness. Layered patios and a forest living room beyond offer an outdoor extension of life beneath the trees. The garage has been transformed into a flexible open workshop—perfect for creative use, gardening, or storage—while remaining easily convertible for vehicle use. Discover the charm of this ideally located residence in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. Situated just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Narberth, this home offers unparalleled access to local parks, boutique shops, diverse dining options, a historic movie theater, and vibrant community events.
