Welcome to a charming home with a wonderful flow and prime address that will be the center of your family's world! This very beautiful, livable 5 bed 3.5 bath house on lovely grounds, with a covered porch, private driveway and detached garage, sits in a tranquil setting yet is still easily walkable to everything. Most chores don't even need to involve a car. You can get to large open practice fields in minutes up the hill, and the main playing fields on Montgomery right around the corner. In under 10 minutes by foot, you can access a wide variety of shops, restaurants, grocery stores, farmers markets and services at Suburban Square. It's also an easy walk is to the train to Center City, as well as direct trains to NYC. What's more - school buses stop directly in front of the house! 126 Llanfair is situated in a real neighborhood, with a community feel and variety of friendly families of all ages. Kids hear other kids in nearby yards resulting in impromptu hang outs and play dates. Mowing and raking can result in catching up about neighborhood goings-on with the people next door. You'll love the ambiance and the convenience, and for children, it's a great place to grow up, set back from the street with a large front yard plus a spacious private fenced backyard where they can play to their hearts' content. A big rear deck overlooks the serene backyard and is a perfect place to enjoy barbecues and warm-weather fun and recreation with friends and family. A gracious entry foyer with tasteful millwork welcomes you inside, featuring wide openings leading to the living room at right and formal wainscoted dining room at left, both with fireplaces and French doors opening out to the inviting covered porch. The tastefully-designed kitchen is the heart of the home, with a center island with seating, ample cabinetry, tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Open to the kitchen is a breakfast area with glass-paneled doors to the rear deck and yard, and a sizable family room with skylights and its own deck door, perfect for movie nights. A powder room rounds out the main level. Comfortable bedrooms await upstairs, with the wonderful master as the highlight on the 2nd story featuring a fireplace, custom-built-in closets and en-suite bath. A sunny second-floor laundry/sitting room is quite an added bonus. A sky-lit landing proceeds to additional bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and excellent closets on the third floor. The carpeted basement is nicely finished and very comfortable for watching sports, playing games and hanging out. Move right into this gem in a location that can't be beat!
