About This Home

As of October 2023

Welcome to the epitome of urban charm and convenience in the most desirable and walkable neighborhood. This stunning center hall colonial is just blocks to downtown Bala Cynwyd restaurants and shops, Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle School as well as many places of worship. Also a short walk to the Cynwyd Heritage trail and the Septa train station that takes a few minutes to Center City Philadelphia. Location aside, this is a fabulous home with so much to offer. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout, 5 year old central air and roof, beautifully updated kitchen and baths. Enter through the front door to a grand foyer adorned with tasteful recessed stairs, setting an elegant tone that resonates throughout. To your left, an inviting living room beckons with its wood-burning fireplace and custom-built bookshelves that add an air of scholarly refinement. Beyond the French doors, you’ll find a bright and inviting Family Room/Play Room and an Office that are heated and offer plenty of natural sunlight. These multifunctional bonus rooms can serve whatever purpose you desire while a lovely new powder room ensures your comfort. The right wing of the home unveils an open concept haven, where the kitchen seamlessly flows into the dining room. The elegantly remodeled kitchen boasts an abundance of cabinetry and glistening granite countertops, accentuated by stainless steel appliances, and a spacious pantry. Through the kitchen is a separate storage area and access to the spacious patio and rear yard. In addition to the Master Bedroom, the second floor offers 2 generously sized bedrooms and an updated full hall bathroom. The Master bedroom is a must see with 4 oversized closets and an En Suite, newly renovated full Master Bathroom. On the 3rd floor are two bright, spacious bedrooms and an additional full bathroom with a charming claw foot tub. The basement offers a canvas for personalization, presenting a wealth of storage possibilities to cater to your specific needs. Stepping outside, a rear patio offers a space for al fresco relaxation, overlooking a fully fenced-in yard that provides a private oasis for outdoor gatherings and play. A detached two story, one-car garage, complete with pull-down stairs, offers convenient storage, augmenting the practicality of this urban retreat. Throughout the residence, distinguished architectural nuances grace the space, including resplendent hardwood floors, solid wood doors, 9 foot lofty ceilings on the first floor, an original stunning arched window, and an inviting center hall entrance, coalescing to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. This home is a must see!
