The light-filled first floor has classic features like a stone fireplace, arched doorways, and original hardwood floors throughout, plus a convenient powder room. The hardwood floors continue on the second floor, with three bedrooms and one full bathroom. The third floor was renovated to add a primary bedroom suite, complete with a study, a full bath with cork flooring, high-efficiency insulation, recessed lighting, and multiple skylights. A finished basement space provides plenty of additional living space that could be used as a den, family room or a playroom for the kids, plus a separate office area, and a laundry/utility room. The wonderful front porch and the stone patio out back both add outdoor living space. Thoughtful landscaping adds beauty, privacy and shade to the front and back yards. The shared driveway and shared twin garage provide off-street parking and outdoor storage. A Level 2 Clipper Creek electric vehicle charger is installed on the back of the home, adjacent to the driveway. Other eco-friendly improvements and systems include: solar panels; high-efficiency washer, dryer, stove and dishwasher; electric Dimplex fireplace; 2018 Daikon mini-split heat pumps and air conditioning to the basement and first floor; 2024 Lennox ducted heat pump and air conditioning to the second and third floors; and AO Smith air source heat pump hot water heater. While the owners have fully electrified the home, gas and oil backup systems remain in place (gas-hookup formerly used for clothes dryer, hot water heater, and stove; oil tank and oil-burning furnace can be used to power steam radiators in each room on the first and second floors). This lovely home sits on a quiet tree-lined street in the south side of the charming and beloved Borough of Narberth. Award-winning Merion Elementary is just a few blocks in one direction, while the shops, restaurants and commuter rail station in downtown Narberth are just as close in the other. You can’t get better walkability or easier commutes than this little Borough, just a mile from City Line Avenue and three stops from 30th Street Station on Regional Rail, all located within the award-winning Lower Merion School District.
