Welcome to 25 Wellington Road, a home where old world charm meets sustainability. The owners have thoughtfully maintained the original details of this charming 1925 built home and upgraded it with green technology and energy saving: windows, doors, appliances , roof, and new heating and hot water systems, all completed within the last 3 years. The list does not stop here. New solar panels were installed on the back roof in 2021 as well as a hook-up for a level 2 electric vehicle charger, housed in the garage.
Enter the home through a private covered porch surrounded by Cherry Laurels and specimen plantings, a wonderful hide-away to enjoy your morning coffee or relax during the long summer evenings. Walk through the new custom glass paneled front door into the living room where you will find a wood burning fire place with hand-crafted wood surround and marble insert. An architectural arched window allows for a snap shot of the the front garden and captures the evening sunset. The dining room features a wall of Cole and Sons whimsical jungle scene, a large picture window that over looks the rear garden and a wall of pipe and wood book cases. There are two additional large built-ins, which provide ample storage for china and serving pieces. The kitchen was re-done by the previous owner, but the current owners have recently added a new dish washer and micro-convection oven. The sliding wood patio doors at the end of the kitchen bring in a deluge of light and views of the back garden. Open the sliders and step out onto the sunny back deck equipped with awning, grilling station and back steps that lead to the back and side yards and garage. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, and a very romantic master bedroom with large closets and Juliet balcony. A new center hall bath is appointed with high end hardware, vanity, mirror, and bath/shower combo. It is still in keeping with the original black and white bathroom but now has an updated modern twist. The lower level has been re-done with a new full bath, play area and work stations. This level is a walk-out with a half glassed door that leads to the rear yard. Unlike some lower levels, this area is flooded with natural light. The side yard and rear yard have raised gardens perfect for growing vegetables. and the side grassed area has a garden shed and rows of roses and an arched trellis which will be covered with Wisteria come spring. Not only is this home in perfect move-in condition, but it is in the heart of Ardmore, conveniently located within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Suburban Square and Lancaster Avenue. Perfect for an urban dweller who wants a touch of greenery and the convenience of pedestrian shopping and dining. It is a quick walk to mass transit and regional rail, including rail service to New York and is also in the award winning Lower Merion School District.
