This Dutch Colonial corners the market on location. Steps away from Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle School, less than ¼ mile to shopping on Montgomery Ave., equidistant from Cynwyd and Merion train stations, close to the Cynwyd Trail and walkable to the library—it’s hard to beat! The large enclosed porch is heated and has been used as an office space, an exercise room and a playroom in the past. It is accessible to the entry hall as well as to the living room, through a set of French doors. The living room features a fireplace and period built-ins as well as lovely hardwood floors. Across the hall is the dining room which comfortably seats large groups. The updated kitchen features black granite countertops, a thoughtfully designed breakfast peninsula and lots of (replaced) windows. The original built-in cabinetry of the butler’s pantry provides wonderful storage. Off of the kitchen is a laundry room large enough to house overflow kitchen/pantry items. An updated first floor powder room is tucked away just off the laundry room.
The second floor features a large owner’s suite with a bathroom which can also be entered through the hall (though it could easily be made private and all other bedrooms have access to other bathrooms). The other two nicely-sized bedrooms have good closet space and share a Jack-and-Jill bath.
The biggest surprise in this house is the size of the third floor bedrooms. Many Dutch Colonials have tiny bedrooms on the top floor. You won’t believe how big these are, and the shared bath has been recently updated.
Lots of extra closets in hallways and on stair landing. The basement is great for storage and has a bonus powder room. A sump pump keeps things dry and there is room for a workshop as well as two other distinct spaces. New high efficiency boiler/water heater (2023) and new roof (2022).
The level backyard and nice patio space make this property great for entertaining your own family as well as guests. One car detached garage is currently being used for storage. Award-winning Lower Merion schools.
