Nestled in the idyllic and charming community of Merion Station this stately colonial awaits. Here you will find vintage charm blended with modern amenities. Entering upon the brick pathway, the meticulously maintained shrubbery provides a regal feel as well as added privacy. Through the front door enter into the large center hall with a half bathroom tucked away behind the charming curved door. To the right you will find a large, light filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace encased by a beautiful wood mantel. Built-in shelving flanks the front windows and crown molding caps off this room. Through glass doors awaits the sun porch with ceiling fans that is used throughout 3 seasons. Left of the center hall you will find the formal dining room with chair rail & crown molding leading to the kitchen. The kitchen features a bead board ceiling. Adjoining the kitchen is a breakfast nook that can be used in many ways including an eat-in area or mudroom. From here you exit to the spacious wood deck that overlooks the large, lush yard with mature plantings. Back inside as you climb the stairs to the second floor you will take in the beautiful view of the yard from the picture windows in the stairwell. The second floor boasts the primary bedroom with an en suite with claw foot tub, stall shower and a walk-in closet. Two additional good-sized bedrooms as well as an updated hall bathroom can be found here. Ascend the stairs again with another lovely exterior view to the third floor where you will find gorgeous pine floors, two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. This home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout, fresh neutral paint & central air. The basement is unfinished, but neat and clean and houses the laundry facilities. A two car detached garage completes the property. Merion just 5 miles from Philadelphia was the first site of summer estates built by the Pennsylvania Railroad executives and is still just as convenient today. Located in the Award winning Lower Merion School District, this home is steps away from area schools, walking distance to the train station and the peaceful Merion Botanical Park.
