This delightful, charming home in very good condition sits on a surprisingly private lot, in a very desirable street of the coveted neighborhood of Merion Park. The home has been tastefully updated and the grounds professionally landscaped to create a lovely property with a fantastic kitchen and an appealing back yard with pool and very large patio. All rooms are generously sized starting with the living room with fireplace, the dining room with elegant bay window, the white gourmet kitchen (a truly fabulous space) with its eating area and door to the expanded patio, and the mudroom with built-ins and its own private exit to driveway (this room could be easily used as office/breakfast room/play room). All three bedrooms, off the second-floor landing, are also well sized: the primary bedroom with its own private bath, the other two bedrooms with the adjacent hall bath. A significant part of the lower level is finished and offers a third full bath. The unfinished part of the lower level hosts the laundry facilities and a spacious storage area. A powder room is on the first floor and a large shed, the perfect space to stow patio furniture, pool accessories, gardening tools, bicycles, and toys, is in the backyard. The driveway is private, and the few grown trees that separate it from the neighbor's are adding shade and extra privacy. Truly a must see!
