Gorgeous Victorian residence that is in absolutely move-in condition with a new roof (2021) is located in a highly- coveted Bryn Mawr neighborhood. This showpiece home, offering four large bedrooms with two and a half bathrooms (2017 & 2018), is so well done that you will start packing immediately. The large, separate Au pair/in-law/ office space with soapstone kitchen counter-tops, washer & dryer and a full bathroom over the 2-car garage lends itself to many scenarios. This beauty boasts old-world charm with sharp, modern, tasteful upgrades throughout. This wrap-around front porch is perfect for relaxing with family & friends. Once inside, you are greeted with a light-filled foyer highlighted by beautiful wainscoting, hardwood floors and a solid oak staircase. The solid sliding French double pocket doors beckons you to the grand great room showcasing open living and dining areas, custom moldings, LED recessed lighting (2019) and a one-of-a-kind beehive-style brick fireplace with herringbone detail, wood storage underneath and built-in cabinetry above mantle. Cooking will delight you in the designer chef’s kitchen with totally unique features. Bosch stainless steel appliances (5 burner cook-top, dishwasher, wall oven & warming drawer) & a built-in drawer microwave will make entertaining a breeze. The custom disappearing chef’s table lends itself to the food prep & baking area. The neutral tumbled subway back splash (2017), granite counter-tops (2017) and shaker cabinetry, including some with depression glass fronts, make this kitchen warm & unique. Continue through the kitchen and just past the powder room (2017) you’ll reach a French door that opens to the expanded slate patio (2018) and yard that set the stage for a summer soiree. Three expansive sized bedrooms and one full bath occupy the second floor each with 9-foot-high ceilings with crown molding, ceiling fans and tons of natural light through the huge windows. The bright hall bath (2018) is nicely appointed with a large vanity and marble top, seamless walk-in shower with white subway and leaf tile accent band & floor finished off with plantation shutter window covering. The large, light-filled primary suite is located on the top floor of the residence, offering spacious quarters and privacy. Is completed by two walk-in closets, one with laundry, and an en suite designer bathroom with seamless glass enclosed walk-in shower (2017), double vanity with granite counter-top and plantation shutter window covering. Unique to this home is a detached two-car garage with a second-floor suite offering wall of windows, a fully equipped kitchenette and bathroom. Bring your imagination as this space can be utilized as a home-office, in-law suite or guest home. With so much to offer, 629 Old Lancaster Road will not be on the market for more than a blink of an eye! Located on the border of Haverford and Lower Merion Townships, enjoy living just steps away from restaurants, pubs, shops, eateries, small businesses and more.

What better place to live than within walking distance to everything that Bryn Mawr has to offer? You just found the home offers the best "walk-to" location, plus everything else you want: 629 Old Lancaster Ave. This fully renovated home and "carriage house" is simply so much more than you've dreamed, and is the perfect blend of original architecture combined with updated, high-tech living and truly custom finishes. Enter the main building via the wrap-around front porch, or from the slate patio in the back. Immediately, the details come to light: High ceilings with custom crown moldings; both a single and a double sliding French panel pocket door; a custom wrap-around fireplace surrounded by Vermont slate; custom wainscoting; an open floor plan on the first floor; and a Kitchen with tons of panache and detail - and a hidden custom-crafted table. Hardwood floors throughout gleam from the natural light that fills the house through updated windows. On the 2nd floor are three bedrooms, all of which are finished beautifully. The largest of these bedrooms provides beautiful views and is filled with so much natural light you may want to pull out your sunglasses. The 2nd bedroom has beautiful wood built-in cabinets. The 3rd bedroom is just as lovely. A beautifully updated porcelain tile center hall bath finishes off the 2nd floor. The Master Bedroom suite on the 3rd floor is the piece de resistance. It's very spacious with two walk-in closets and a full bath with Jacuzzi tub. The building in the back is just unbelievable. Part renovation, part new construction (around 2011), this space was conceived and built by Haverford Home Design, and the design, workmanship and finishes are simply stunning. There's a 2-car garage, a full kitchen with an in-drawer dishwasher, a full bath, and a sun-filled studio space with vaulted ceilings and skylights. An organic garden outside is waiting for Spring plantings; back yard is fully fenced. Terrific storage space throughout the studio, the basement in the house and the garage. 3 Separate HVAC systems; all installed since 2006. Freshly painted throughout.
