Come view this one-of-a-kind, deceivingly spacious 5 Bedroom, 3 full Bath Cape (approx 2200+sq ft) located on a picturesque street on the residential section of Ellis Road (not the busy section). The location couldn't be better and is situated close to the Main Line and blocks from multiple parks and Merion Golf Course. The moment you arrive you will notice the great curb appeal with Flagstone walkway, new siding, front Porch and new front main door and storm door. Inside you will be greeted with the warmth and charm of a very well maintained home with lots of character. There are refinished hardwoods throughout; new windows (Anderson HiPerformance); dual side gas fireplace in Living Room and Dining Room; remodeled Kitchen with 42" cabinetry, tile backsplash and flooring, Breakfast Bar, recessed lighting, gas stove, built-in microwave and a door with access to the covered back Patio with storage closet. All Bedrooms are very generous in size. There are three first floor Bedrooms including the Master and two upper level Bedrooms. Both Master Bathroom and Hall Bathroom have been renovated. On the upper level there is a large Loft Area with a large walk-in closet that would make a great homework area or reading Nook. Two nice-sized Bedrooms and a full Bath complete this floor. The Basement is partially finished with tile floor, large Laundry/storage Room and access to the Garage. Other newer improvements include: Roof (30 yr replaced in 2010); newer gutters and spouts (2012) custom closets; new heater & central air (2014). This home is truly a treasure with many special features and charm.
