Property Description
Homes like this come along once a generation! They are loved for a lifetime and only exchange hands on rare occasion. Welcome to this elegant center hall 3 story colonial in the Merion Golf neighborhood of Haverford Twp. Sitting up above the street facing W. Clearfield, a wide and deep lot (95' x 150') adds to the wonderful curb appeal with a 1/3 acre of manicured yard. Walking up, the teal shutters and pink door accent the light stucco exterior, with three curved roof dormers and a new architectural shingle roof with copper flashing (2024). To your left you'll notice the private double wide driveway (side by side off-street parking) that leads to the 2 car detached garage w/rear storage shed. Entering the home, a wide and welcoming center hall with hardwood floors shines and natural light comes through a stunning original window at the top of the wide staircase. To the right of the center hall you'll find a large living room with built-in book shelves, as well as, a stone fireplace with gas insert. Beyond the living room is the enclosed porch, providing additional living space as a den or home office, and includes a separate entrance, half bath with marble flooring and large storage closets. To the left of the center hall, you'll find a formal dining room lined with tall windows with entrances to a cozy back den/office space, as well as, the eat-in-kitchen. The kitchen offers great space with white cabinetry, ceramic tile floor, gas cooking, pantry closet, window overlooking the back patio/yard and 2 exits, one to the patio and one to a mud room that heads towards the garage and side yard. Out back you'll find a wonderfully large fenced yard with flagstone patio & awning, custom lighting, and an 8 person hot tub! Heading to the second floor, you'll find a large main bedroom with multiple closets (including a cedar closet) and two doors leading out to the front porch roof. Further, you'll find a full hall bath with 2 sinks, tub/shower and granite flooring, as well as, 2 additional bedrooms. Stairs off the main hall lead up to the 3rd floor that presents 2 more bright bedrooms and a hall bath with stall shower. Off the back of the first floor hall, you'll find stairs down to a full unfinished basement, that provides great space and potential to be finished. The space has been well maintained with french drains and sump pumps, and includes plenty of storage space, a laundry area and steps up to Bilco doors that open towards the driveway. Other great features of the home include a Kohler whole house generator, all 3 flat roofs removed and replaced in 2021, new main roof (2024), new fencing and 2 gates (2024), gas boiler and hot water, and much more. Located in a great sidewalk neighborhood close to parks (Paddock and Merwood), schools, shopping and restaurants in Oakmont, public transit (bus and high speed trolley), walking trails (Pennsy Trail), 1/4 mile to world-renowned Merion Golf Club, and just a short drive to the Haverford Reserve. If you love the character and are looking for a place to call home for your next generation, don't miss this opportunity.
