Property Description
Be enchanted by this 1890s Bungalow, set on a quiet cul-de-sac one block to Narberth, this home was the original Carriage House to a larger estate with all the charming details, moldings, and large windows from that time, while updated for today's lifestyle. The beautiful stone exterior and woodwork offers craftsmanship rarely seen in homes today. The Grand covered front porch is perfect for sipping an iced tea or entertaining guests, spanning the length of the home appointed with stately beams. You are drawn into this one-of-a-kind property and greeted by the touches that are a nod to the property's history, like wrought iron gates and railings, arched doorways, substantial moldings, beautiful hardwood floors, and exposed stone. The tiled entry foyer is spacious and full of sunlight. A wonderful open concept floor plan with spacious living and dining area has a stunning stone fireplace centerpiece, all open to the Newly renovated Gourmet kitchen. The Kitchen has crisp white cabinets, quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a beverage refrigerator and peninsula seating. A casual sunlit family room with wainscotting is also off of the foyer and adjacent to the music room, which could easily be a playroom, home office or den. An arched stone entryway opens to the mudroom, laundry, and powder rooms featuring exposed stone walls for a lovely one of a kind detail. Upstairs there are 4 generously sized bedrooms each with unique dormers allowing for an abundance of natural light, large closets and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom has 2 good-sized closets and a full bath with a stall shower, and a back staircase for access to the music room. 3 additional spacious bedrooms share an updated hall bath with porcelain tile floor, newer vanity with storage as well as a soaking tub/shower, while keeping the charm of yesteryear! The original arched door that was used to load hay into the carriage house is still intact! Outside the garage has been newly converted to a stunning studio apartment with exposed beams, a full designer tile shower/bath, split HVAC system, kitchenette and approx 400sqft of living space. This is a great spot for inlaws, a nanny or second office/studio space! The backyard has a gate that takes you straight to Merion Elementary playground & and a chicken coupe for your chickens! One block to Narberth and its charming downtown area with restaurants and regional rail connecting you to Center City and the Greater Main Line! Make this One Of A Kind piece of Main Line History, designed by Edward P. Hazelhurst and Samuel Huckel, Jr. who were with the Frank Furness firm -yours and enjoy for years to come!
