A diamond in the rough, this classic stone-and-siding home with great bones and high ceilings is ready for a new owner to reimagine the many possibilities it offers. The Lower Merion location is prime, with an award-winning school district and convenience to Center City and all the Main Line has to offer! Walk to restaurants, commuter rail, shops, places of worship, and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, or walk right across the street to a fully-equipped playground! Step through the front entrance into an enclosed front porch that can be used as a den or mud room. From here, enter the large living room with beautiful stonework, a gas fireplace, and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room with crystal chandelier provides plenty of space for everyday meals and entertaining alike. The kitchen offers gas cooking, pantry space, and easy access to the back yard. A large family room with full bath and its own outside egress can be found at the back of the house; with the addition of a closet, this space could be transformed into a first-floor bedroom suite. The 2nd floor provides three generously-sized bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower. A fourth bedroom is located on the top floor, along with a full bath (claw-footed tub) and a large storage room, which could serve nicely as a laundry room. An unfinished basement offers outside egress, laundry with utility sink, and plenty of room for storage. A bonus is the one-car detached garage with a private driveway. This home is within the City Avenue District, which has an annual Community Fee of under $500 per year.
