Welcome to a total transformation in Ardmore in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. This isn't just a renovation; it’s a complete, top-to-bottom gut-rehab that shows true quality and that brings modern sophistication to a classic Lower Merion twin. From the street, the crisp white-painted stucco and bold black trim on the new custom casement windows make a striking first impression. Step up onto the front porch, illuminated by a freshly landscaped front yard, a stylish new chandelier, a new railing, new porch floor, and enter a home designed for effortless flow. The main level features a wide-open floor plan anchored by gorgeous light oak hardwood floors, square recessed lighting, and solid wood finishes that speak to the quality of the craftsmanship. As you enter the home, you will find a living room, dining area, and then, towards the back, the kitchen is outfitted with sleek dark cabinetry, slow-close drawers, a dedicated pantry, and a full suite of LG appliances including gas cooking, dishwasher, microwave, and a garbage disposal. Just off the rear entry mudroom, you’ll find a convenient full bathroom with a stall shower—a rare and thoughtful addition to the main floor. Upstairs, the hardwood floors continue across three bright bedrooms. The primary suite offers a serene retreat overlooking Locust Avenue. The second-floor bathroom is a showstopper, featuring a seamless tile design, tub with a built-in shower nook, and a Gerber toilet. The updates you can’t see are just as impressive as the ones you can. This home boasts a new 220-amp electrical panel, a new HVAC system with insulated ducts, a new sewer line, and a new flat asphalt roof with a transferable warranty. The basement tfloor was recently painted and ready for your needs, equipped with a sump pump, humidifier, and gas/vent hookups for your laundry. Outside, the lifestyle upgrades continue. The private driveway has been recently recoated and offers parking for four plus cars. The backyard, freshly seeded, features a massive storage shed and sensor-activated lighting for ease of use after dark. Located in the highly sought-after Lower Merion School District, steps away from Lancaster Avenue with endless shops, dining, and Suburban Square, SEPTA, Haverford College walking trails and the new Ardmore Recreation Center, this home offers the perfect blend of high-end design and peace of mind. All that’s left to do is move in!
Main Line, located between City Avenue and Lancaster Avenue, is a residential and commuter Bala Cynwyd neighborhood with stone manors and leafy rail-side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center along City Avenue, where independent boutiques, salons, and coffee counters set a steady daytime rhythm. Landmark architecture ranges from Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival homes to mid-century apartment towers near the Schuylkill River. The Cynwyd Heritage Trail traces former rail right-of-way into pocket parks and river views. Cultural anchors include the Barnes Foundation’s nearby Lower Merion campus, the historic Cynwyd Station, and the Bala Theatre’s marquee glow. SEPTA’s Cynwyd Line and the Schuylkill River Trail shape a walk-bike-transit routine.
