This sun-filled stone colonial in desirable Merion Park features numerous improvements and charming features throughout. Quality details include hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting and Kolbe windows. A new roof, a new Air Conditioning system, and a new water heater were all installed within the last few years! The gracious entryway is flanked by the formal dining room and fireside living room. White cabinets, leathered granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, Bosch appliances, and an induction/convection oven are desirable features of the updated kitchen (2016). Through the living room, you will find a comfortable family room with custom built-ins and access to the rear patio. There is also a breakfast nook for casual meals and a convenient powder room. Upstairs the sun-filled landing leads to the master suite with newer California Closets (2016) and a private en suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bathroom complete the second floor. Additionally, there is space over the family room to potentially build a fourth bedroom addition on the second floor. The finished lower level could be used as a teen haven, recreation area, or home office. Outside you will appreciate the professionally designed and maintained landscaping, newer fencing (2018), resealed driveway (2019) and a level rear yard with a slate patio. This quiet, tree-lined street is within walking distance of General Wayne Park, as well as the Borough of Narberth with its popular shops, pubs, restaurants, and movie theater.
