About This Home
As of June 2021Be sure to watch the virtual tour. Stunning 6 bedroom, center hall colonial in a wonderful walk-to-everything location. Just blocks to downtown Bala Cynwyd restaurants and shops, Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle School as well as many places of worship. Location aside, this is also a fabulous home with so much to offer: Enter through the front door into a gracious foyer with recessed stairs. To the left you will find an inviting living room with wood-burning fireplace and built in bookshelves. To the right of the Center hall, find a large dining room with built-in china cabinet, plenty of natural light and deep window sills. The kitchen is nicely updated with granite counters, stainless appliances including a double oven, gas cook top, refrigerator, dishwasher, and range hood plus tile floors throughout. Through the kitchen is a laundry/mud room (also with tiled floor) plus a handsome full bath. The second floor offers 2 bedrooms, one with a full and updated En-Suite bath, Master bedroom with a full bath featuring oversized vanity and extra large shower with frameless shower door plus a 4th bedroom that could either be used as a Master dressing room, office or 6th bedroom. On the 3rd floor are two generously sized bedrooms with the 4th full bathroom, also nicely updated. The basement is unfinished but dry and offers plenty of storage or could be remodeled for additional living space. Outside is a lovely covered side patio that could be finished into a first floor family room or left as outdoor entertaining space. Out back find a 2 car garage and a fully fenced in yard! Architectural details abound including hardwood floors throughout, solid wood doors, 9 ft ceilings on the first floor, grand entrance with period piece chandelier and open staircase with for added light. All of this plus a detached 2-car garage, security system, fenced in backyard, newer roof (2009/10), newer heater and 1 year old hot water heater. This home should not be missed and welcomes its new owners! Why not put 131 Penarth down as your new address when you register at Lower Merion School District no later than Monday, May 1!
