Nicknamed “The Brookline” because it’s the gateway to one of Haverford Township's most cherished, walkable, & historic neighborhoods. This very special 6 bedroom, 3 full, 2 half bath home has been loved & thoughtfully updated by its current owners from top to bottom. Each room offers a surprise, whether it’s custom built-ins, beautiful lighting, large windows & trim work details, or just a great view of the neighborhood. The floorplan is unbelievably versatile, with a phenomenal 3rd floor, a partially finished basement, & large room sizes.
