Property Description
On the northern tier of the Main Line just a few minutes drive to Manayunk, Narberth and Ardmore is a beautifully captivating home which has been thoughtfully remodeled throughout the years while still keeping the traditional details. This classic center-hall custom three story stone Colonial with charm and character is located in the heart of historic Penn Valley in Lower Merion. Surrounded by beautiful homes with large lots; this handsome stone house built in 1939 still includes many of the original unique features such as generous room sizes, hardwood floors throughout, handsome original wood moldings & deep window sills. The home is situated on approximately half an acre with a flagstone patio and graceful gently sloping tree lined backyard which ends at a fireplace which was built when the house was built. Two levels of lush grass means the soccer net can be used on one level while the croquet goes on! The very private backyard is truly a woodland setting landscaped with mature trees and shrubs.A stately stone exterior leads to the center entry hall with the living room with wood burning fireplace and custom mantel on one side and formal dining room large bay window, original corner cabinets, chair rail, and chandelier on the other. Just off the kitchen and breakfast room is the Sante Fe family room with Kiva style gas fireplace. This room is cool and minimal and wonderful place to gather. The main floor library is lined with built in cabinets and bookcases and would make a wonderful office for a telecommuter and the greenhouse is completely walled with glass. Even if you have murdered every plant you have ever had you will love the greenhouse as a lush escape. An adjoining powder room is a plus! A sunny breakfast room and long lovely kitchen complete this floor. The second floor landing features a palladian window providing dramatic light. This is a wonderful place to curl up and read on a rainy afternoon. The master bedroom suite includes an ensuite bath with jetted tub and separate shower stall which is also a steam room; a large walk in closet with custom organizers and a sitting area (which could be used as a nursery) with cathedral ceiling with skylight and a Juliet balcony with views of the backyard. After your run through this beautiful community you can have a shower and steam and relax with a cool one on your bedroom balcony in the trees. Also on this level are a second bedroom and bath, a den with built in bookcases and a third bedroom and bath (originally the maid s quarters) with back stairs access to the first floor. The third floor could be a great fourth bedroom or studio it could even make a great home school! Additional features include an oversized one car garage with built in cabinets, full walkout basement with plenty of storage shelving, sprinkler system; central A/C; backup generator; & security system. The home is within walking distance of PV Elementary School and Welsh Valley Middle School. Please view our 3D matterport tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=k54164jLt9h
