Property Description
**Please note SF in Public records is incorrect as it doesn't include the sunroom and laundry/mudroom.
Stately 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom center hall colonial located on one of the most coveted streets in sought-after Merion Park. With over 3,900 sf, this home is a seamless blend of old world charm and thoughtful updates for today's modern lifestyle.
Living spaces include a spacious living room with fireplace, a large family/sunroom with 3 walls of windows and french doors to the slate patio and flat, private back yard. The formal dining room, ideal for hosting large family dinners, is located adjacent to the updated eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The powder room and first floor laundry/mudroom are conveniently located towards the rear of the home. Access to the heated 1-car attached garage (currently being used as a home office) from the mudroom.
Upstairs, the generous primary suite has four deep closets and decorative arches over the windows, as well as an elegant en-suite full bathroom. There are 3 additional spacious bedrooms and a recently renovated Jack and Jill bathroom. The beautifully restored, original linen closet as well as a large cedar closet add to the charm and functionality of this special home.
The third floor with its expansive landing, a newer full bathroom, and large bedroom, is perfect for guests, an alternative primary suite space, or an au-pair/in-law suite.
The large, unfinished basement with natural light via glass block windows presents endless possibilities for customization. There is convenient access to the back yard through Bilco doors.
