Be sure to watch the full motion virtual tour! Located in the award-winning Lower Merion School District, zoned to Merion Elementary, Bala Cynwyd Middle & choice of Lower Merion HS or Harriton HS, this bright and spacious home is situated on a beautiful, side walk street, just houses away from the Septa train station (Paoli Thorndale line) offering a short ride to Center City or other suburbs. Note, this house does NOT back to the train! 230 Merion offers all the Main line charm & appeal but has a much more open floor plan and a lot more first floor living space than your typical center hall colonial! The large covered front porch spans the entire width of the home and offers a lovely space to relax and watch the world go by! Enter the home and you will immediately love the spacious foyer with recessed staircase offering plenty of room to greet your guests, a large coat closet and window that allows the natural light to flow from the back of the house to the front. To the right of the foyer is what may have been designed as a formal dining room with a marble surround wood-burning fireplace. However, the current owners use this as their formal living room. To the left is another living room that is currently being used as a second living room/family room. This bright and sunny room is elegant yet comfortable with its built-in bookcases and gas-burning fireplace. All rooms feature beautifully refinished hardware floors. But there’s more! Off the living room is another delightful living space that can be used for just about anything. It is flanked with two large picture windows that overlook the rear yard and drench the rooms with natural light. This space is currently used as a combo sitting area/child’s play area. Connected to this room is the current dining area but could also be a comfortable great room space as it is open to a very large kitchen. The kitchen is large and functional with stainless appliances including a Thermador six burner gas stove. Back stairs off the kitchen offer an informal way to the second-floor bedroom area. Off of the kitchen is an extensive mudroom for coats, school bags, etc. The second-floor includes the primary bedroom with an abundance of closet space, a sitting area, en-suite bath with jacuzzi tub and separate room with large vanity, and tile/stone shower. Primary bedroom is wired for surround sound and 4k projector and screen. Two other generously sized bedrooms with a second full bath (jack and jill), a spacious laundry room and large linen closet complete the second floor. The third floor has two large bedrooms, a 3rd and completely updated full bath plus and an abundance of storage. The basement spans the entire first floor, is unfinished but spacious and dry. Outside there are two flagstone seating areas, one is perfect for dining al fresco and the other for a conversational seating area/fire pit. This home has been completely rewired with a focus on safety, futureproofing and limitless compatibility (Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa or Google Home). The Lutron Caesta dimmable SMART lighting switches drive all LED fixtures. The garage is wired with a 220 line for an electric car and MyQ Smart garage door opener. For those wondering about network connectivity, all rooms (and the garage) have been wired with CAT6E ethernet cables (capable of 10gb/s speed) allowing for direct connectivity or optimal Mesh Wifi system placement throughout the home. Both Comcast & Verizon Fios are available at this address. Comfort is easily maintained with many energy efficient replacement windows, newer high efficiency HVAC with airscrubber (installed 2018) and your choice of either electric or radiator heat. Don’t miss this home in this highly coveted neighborhood that is walk-able to the fun town of Narberth, The, Merion Elementary School and the Paoli Thorndale train to Center City. Sellers can be flexible on settlement date.
OPEN HOUSE NOVEMBER 10 1-3PM! Come enjoy the beautiful fall colors. Eye catching is how you would describe this Garden Paradise of a home on a side-walked street with a parade of changing colors throughout the seasons. Walking entirely around this home is a must. Gorgeous perennial specimen plantings are in view as you gaze out the wall of windows at the back of the house. Impressive also comes to mind as you take in the inviting deep, full-length covered front porch with majestic stone pillars and party lights. Welcome to 230 Merion Road, a house with oodles of charm both inside and out. Entering, you will enjoy the spacious foyer with coat closet, and lovely staircase with a peek-a boo window that allows the natural light to flow from the back of the house to the front. There is a living room to the left and an adult family room to the right. Both rooms have beautiful marble surround fireplaces, gleaming hardwood floors and lovely mill work. Through the living room are two open space rooms with cathedral ceilings that connect to the kitchen. The current owners opened the wall between the kitchen and breakfast room for ease of flow. All of the rooms on the first floor are multi-purpose and may be set up according to your choice & life style. For example- the adult living/reading room at the front of the house and across from the living room was used by the previous owners as a dining room. The current owners prefer dining while looking out onto the back gardens. The kitchen is large and functional with stainless appliances including a Thermador six burner gas stove. Back stairs off the kitchen offer an informal way to the second-floor bedroom area. Off of the kitchen is a cute mudroom for wet coats and school bags. There is driveway parking and a detached two car garage plus a backyard flagstone patio. The second-floor includes the master bedroom with an abundance of closet space, a sitting area, en-suite bath with jacuzzi tub and walk in shower. Two other generously sized bedrooms with a second full bath and laundry room complete the second floor. There is laundry in the basement level too. The third floor has two large bedrooms and an additional updated full bath and an abundance of storage. This home is complete with energy efficient replacement windows, hardwood floors, new high efficiency HVAC with airscrubber (installed 2018). This is a much coveted neighborhood walk-able to the fun town of Narberth, The Merion Botanical Gardens, Merion Elementary School and the Paoli Thorndale train to Center City. This house does not back up to the train.
