About this home
Welcome to 124 Kenilworth Rd. in desirable Merion Station! This charming three-story historic Tudor offers approximately 1,700 square feet of beautifully maintained living space with 4- 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile third-floor bonus room that the current owners use as an additional (fifth) bedroom. Start your morning or unwind in the evening on the charming enclosed front porch, which has a separate heating loop. Outside, a tranquil, low-maintenance pond serves as the centerpiece of a lush garden filled with azaleas, ferns, elderberry, indigo, and a dwarf Japanese maple. Goldfish swim beneath blooming lotus flowers, creating a serene backyard sanctuary. From the adjoining garden deck, take in the birdsong and remarkable quiet with virtually no traffic noise—a luxury in such a prime, convenient location. Step inside to discover a seamless mix of classic charm and thoughtful modern updates, with plenty of closet and storage space throughout. The welcoming living room centers on a stone-faced gas fireplace, with hardwood floors flowing naturally into the sunlit dining room—accented by wainscoting and updated windows. The open-concept gourmet kitchen connects smoothly to the dining area and features granite prep space, display cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, a professional gas range, and a custom concrete counter ideal for entertaining. A blossoming sampaguita, or Philippine jasmine, forms the heart of the artistic backsplash by local artist, Karen Krivit . Woven among its branches are tiles marking significant moments in the sellers' lives, turning everyday functional design into a meaningful narrative. The sellers look forward to passing the canvas to new hands, hoping the next owner will weave in their own life milestones. The spacious, clean approximately 500-square-foot basement offers excellent storage, a workspace area, laundry facilities, an upgraded gas furnace, and convenient access to the rear yard and to the adjoining, well-lit storage or work space, behind modern double doors. The location is truly exceptional! Just a five-minute walk to the heart of Narberth, where you can enjoy charming shops, restaurants, bars, the train station, library, playgrounds, ball fields, basketball courts, parks including charming Shortridge dog park only 2 blocks away accessed by a public sidewalk that goes between the houses and the local movie theater. Whole Foods, Giant, and Trader Joe’s are just minutes away in neighboring Wynnewood, along with upscale shopping and dining at Suburban Square in Ardmore. Best of all, this elegant home is located in the award-winning Lower Merion School District and is an easy walk to Merion Elementary. A wonderful combination of historic character, modern updates, meaningful artistry, peaceful outdoor living, generous living space, and an unbeatable Main Line location!

Merion Station, located between City Avenue and Lancaster Avenue, is a residential and historic Main Line neighborhood with stone Tudor homes and leafy rail-side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Merion Station SEPTA stop at Montgomery Avenue, where commuters, walkers, and cyclists pass under the classic station canopy and along quiet, tree-lined blocks. Landmark architecture ranges from early-20th-century twins to grand stone estates with deep setbacks and mature plantings. The Barnes Foundation’s original Merion campus remains a touchstone in local memory and design lore. Merion Botanical Park adds a curated green pause near the rail corridor. Sidewalks and pocket parks shape a calm, lived-in rhythm close to the city line.
