The wide entry hall has a staircase up, plus access to rooms on the left, right, and straight through, with doors to the lower level and powder room along the way. The original, front part of the house includes a living room with bay windows and a wall of built-ins surrounding a wood fireplace. Across the hall is a dining room with plenty of space for a large table, additional built-ins, and more of the hardwood floors that are throughout the first floor. These front rooms are connected to the newer back portion of the home by short passageways smartly lined with a butler's pantry on one side and a wet bar on the other. The classic front half of the home is complemented by the bright and white newer addition on the back, with walls of windows and soaring 12-foot ceilings. A beautiful kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances and range hood, built-in desk, and a brand new dishwasher.

A finished lower level has a powder room, storage, and plenty of room to play and entertain. The home features a number of 2023 updates, including paint throughout most of the interior, new carpeting and padding in the lower level, office and third floor, new first floor chandeliers and sconces, and a number of new fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms. This half-acre lot, with a level, fenced back yard, sits in a beloved quiet neighborhood that’s close to Narberth Borough, downtown Ardmore and Suburban Square, and just a short drive to everywhere else. The location also scores points for easy commutes into Philadelphia, quick access to regional rail, and the excellent Lower Merion School District. With its combination of classic charm and modern updates, in such a perfect location, this might be the one that checks all the boxes!
This spacious home has nice hardwoods throughout. There are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor that require walking through a 2nd floor bedroom to access. The backyard is large and flat.
