This fabulous 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home truly has it ALL. Located in the highly coveted Merion Park neighborhood and award winning Lower Merion School District with a short walk to the Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle Schools (sidewalks the whole way plus a crossing guard for complete piece of mind), this home is also just half a block to the General Wayne Playground. But, if you want private relaxing, entertaining or play space, you can also enjoy private time in your flat and and truly spacious rear yard complete with a large shed that has electric, loft storage and a skylight! This rear yard is not only private, it is also completely enclosed with a scalloped cedar privacy fence that was just installed by the current owners. In addition to the outdoor space and location, this home also boasts all of the expensive upgrades that you won’t have to face as the new owners. Specifically, all of the windows have been replaced with energy efficient double paned glass windows, the roof and all decking is just 7 years old, the heating and central air conditioning are only 10 years old and the hot water heater is only 4 years old. In addition, to the systemic improvements, within the last year the current owners made incredible cosmetic improvements: they installed brand new gleaming hardwood floors on the entire 1st floor, completely remodeled the kitchen (including new appliances), remodeled the powder room on the first floor and the large second floor hall bath is brand new with DOUBLE sink granite countertop vanity, subway tile (floor to ceiling) shower and a stunning herringbone tiled floor! In addition to the condition of the home, once you step inside you will be very pleased with the large rooms, generously sized bedrooms and warm and cozy feel of this special home. Out front you will find a delightful and covered porch, perfect for relaxing out front. Once inside find a traditional center hall colonial home with a formal dining room to the left offering a bay of windows for bright, natural light. To the right, find a large living room already set up for watching TV or just relaxing time together. Continue on and find an additional family room with built-ins for additional relaxing while dinner is being prepared and a remodeled powder room. Connected to this room is the gorgeous kitchen which boasts warm and richly colored granite countertops, new cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, counter seating AND a separate but connected full breakfast room that is currently holding a table for 6. Upstairs find a large primary bedroom with 1 double closet and 2 additional closets (don’t miss the one behind the master bedroom door) and a recently renovated master bath. Completing this floor are three nicely sized bedrooms, a linen closet and that gorgeous brand new hall bath! Top all of this off with a finished basement that has two separate finished rooms; one for play or entertaining and the other for a dedicated office - or open them up for a larger space. Also find an unfinished storage room.
