About This Home
Welcome to 829 Bryn Mawr Ave.—a beautifully renovated retreat in the heart of the Main Line. Set back from the road and accessed via a private driveway, this home offers both privacy and convenience. This home is located in a RARE high school choice area for Harriton or Lower Merion High School, both National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence. LOW GRANDFATHERED ANNUAL TAXES! The current homeowners spared no expense updating the luxurious master bathroom, featuring Italian marble, floating vanity, and LED mirror. A large studio above the detached two-car garage carriage house has been completely transformed with new laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and a new mini-split system for year-round comfort, making it perfect as a separate, serene home office, in-law or au pair suite, or playroom. At the center of the home, the open chef’s kitchen boasts stunning white marble backsplashes, a wraparound island that seats 8, and graciously opens into both the main living room and backyard patio. The terraced 0.69-acre backyard includes a spacious stone patio with a Weber grill and side burner—ideal for entertaining. Professionally landscaped grounds with erosion-resistant geo grids ensure lasting beauty in both the front and back yards. The first-floor office/second living room area is perfect for those who work at home. New LG washer and dryer on the first floor and fully remodeled powder room with new vanity, marble tiling, and toilet, offer convenience and modernity. Two separate fireplaces, two staircases, generously sized upstairs hallway, and new bedroom carpeting create an easy flow for family living. Synthetic slate roof still has over 20 years of life. Home is heated with an efficient central hot water radiator system and cooled with dual-zone air conditioning. Public school bus stops are at the end of the driveway for elementary, middle, and high schools. Walk to Narberth, the Penn Valley Pub, and General Wayne Park. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own your own private retreat in Penn Valley!
