Come visit this remarkably charming and wonderfully updated home in desirable Merion Park! An architecturally distinctive stone home with terra cotta roof shingles and attractive facade await. Enter an elegant foyer adjacent to a spacious living room and discover a floorplan with incredible flow. A fireplace with large stone hearth, hardwood floors and crown and picture frame molding are included. When you step into the den with French doors, wall of windows and stone archways you'll quickly realize this is not a typical Merion Park Colonial. Entertain with ease with a large dining room featuring hardwoods, wall sconces, extensive moldings and more. Of course, a newly remodeled eat-in kitchen with new stainless steel appliances including 5 burner range, new granite counters and backsplash are sure to please. A powder room and attached one car garage offer great utility, though for now the garage is used as storage as the driveway has been converted to lawn and green space. The second level incudes three bedrooms with deep closets and two full baths. A third floor includes a fourth bedroom, cedar closet and plumbing for another bath if desired. The fully finished lower level offers great family room space, terrific storage, new half bath with marble floor and separate, new laundry room with sink. New heating and air conditioning systems provide peace of mind, and additional unfinished space provide plenty of room for storage. Outside find a private flagstone patio, separate, non-shared driveway and one of the best locations around: walk to award winning Cynwyd Elementary or Bala Middle Schools in the morning and General Wayne Park in the afternoon! This is a terrific home in a fantastic neighborhood, schedule your visit today.
