Flexibility and opportunity abound in this stone and stucco expanded cape on a highly coveted . 81 acre lot situated on one of Penn Valley's most sought-after streets. With 6-8 bedrooms and 5.5 baths--including en suite primary bedrooms on both the main and upper levels--this home can accommodate a multitude of home needs, including multi-generational living, multiple home offices, a play/game room, an au pair suite, a library--the list goes on. The entry foyer with hardwood floors and a double coat closet opens to the dining room and eat-in kitchen with granite counters that continues to a mudroom. The mudroom exits to the side yard with a patio and 7KW generator. Also off the entry foyer is the living room with a decorative fireplace, a casual plant room and a spacious sun room with a vaulted wood ceiling and windows on 3 sides. To further enhance your outdoor living enjoyment, the sun room steps out onto a large deck with a spa/hot tub, which overlooks a flat, fully-fenced back yard capable of housing a pool or tennis court. Down the hall from the entry foyer is the original main level primary bedroom with an en suite shower bath, as well as a den and office (originally 2 bedrooms) plus 2 hall baths. Double doors from the den open to a huge, vaulted-ceiling family room. From here, back stairs take you directly to the large, 2-car garage with an added storage room that is accessed from a widened driveway that provides plenty of extra off-street parking. Upstairs, a hallway lined with closets leads to the original upstairs bedroom connected to attic storage. A 2013 addition greatly expanded this upper level by adding a second en suite primary bedroom and bath, plus 3 more bedrooms and a hall bath. The lower level houses the laundry and mechanicals, but also offers a powder room, extra storage, garage access and a finished bonus room that includes a sauna. This is a must-see home in a prime location that offers easy access to Lower Merion schools, Route 23 and I-76, the Paoli-Thorndale train line, as well as wonderful restaurants and shops up and down the Main Line.
Penn Valley, located between Center City and Fairmount Park, is a residential and cultural Philadelphia neighborhood with a museum-lined boulevard and a riverfront trail network. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway near 22nd Street, where broad sidewalks, café patios, and gallery entrances frame a steady museum-day rhythm. The Barnes Foundation, the Rodin Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art act as cultural anchors with a strong sense of place. Housing shifts from classic brick rowhomes to mid-century towers with skyline views. Tree-shaded blocks lead to the Schuylkill River Trail for commuting by bike or a long walk. Logan Square’s fountain and lawns add a civic, open-air pause between errands and exhibitions.
