Stately and unique architectural treasure in a much sought after Merion neighborhood. THIS HOUSE IS LOCATED ON THE QUIET BLOCK BETWEEN MONTGOMERY AVENUE AND MERION ROAD. Built in 1933 by The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company it was one of the first homes to be heated, cooled and air-conditioned by anthracite coal. The house retains its original architectural features including beautiful molding and woodwork, but has been updated in many ways. Newly refinished hardwood floors, updated HVAC system, newer windows, updated kitchen, two new bathrooms and a spectacular inground pool makes this home ready to move in and enjoy. Main Level: Enter through the Georgian double doors with leaded fanlight transom at the end of the landscaped courtyard into the foyer that boasts an elegant circular staircase and curving walls that ascend from the basement up to the second floor. The spacious Living Room has many windows plus built-ins and a set of French doors that open onto a patio facing the fully fenced rear yard. The formal Dining Room leads to an updated "retro" Siematic kitchen with stainless steel counters, limestone floor and built-in appliances including a two-drawer Fisher Paykel dishwasher. The Breakfast Room has a wall of windows overlooks the rear yard and inground pool. There is a large pantry closet and additional storage cabinets. A powder room, entrance to the attached two-car garage, access to the rear yard and the back stairs complete this level. Second level: Spacious Master Bedroom with stunning new bath with soaking tub and walk in shower, separate dressing room with built-in closets. The second Bedroom was, at one time, two rooms.

The third and fourth Bedrooms are joined by a Jack and Jill bath. Lower level: Partially finished with Recreation Room leading out to the fenced back yard and pool.
