Historic Gem! Opportunity to own a piece of Haverford history. Charming converted school house. The original structure dates back to 1830 and was the Cobbs Creek Schoolhouse. Additions and up to the minute improvements still allow for the historic details to shine. Beautiful hardwood floors, deep window sills, thick stone walls, fireplace, granite counters, gourmet kitchen. Skylights in the sunny breakfast room and 2 sets of French doors to appreciate the brick patio and mature gardens. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor. Large master suite with skylights and newer bath on the 2nd floor. Bonus room currently being used as a secret guestroom for the grandchildren, but has lots of possibilities! All this and first floor laundry. Heater new in 2012. Just a couple blocks from the train. Walk to restaurants, shopping and the library. Truly a must see unique property.
