Special features include an updated kitchen, freshly painted interior, significant electrical updates, a high-quality “Authentic” roof, plenty of storage and lots of windows. From the covered front porch, you will enter into the cozy living room with a unique stained-glass window, decorative crown molding, and wood floors that continue throughout many rooms in the home. The sunny formal dining room with a bay window is uniquely spacious. Pass through to the updated kitchen featuring tile floors, lots of cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a deluxe Jenn Air oven with gas cooking and a top-of-the-line Fischer Paykel two-drawer dishwasher, a pantry closet, and a charming banquette breakfast area under another bay window. A hallway off the kitchen leads to a full bathroom with a tub/shower, laundry closet, and a private fireside family room that could potentially be used as a main floor bedroom. A convenient mudroom area with two closets and a door to the driveway completes the main level. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and an additional full bathroom, also with a tub/shower. The third level holds a fourth bedroom with a skylight and a bonus storage room. This versatile space with a separate heating zone could be an ideal home office or art/yoga studio. The unfinished lower level with new staircase has been professionally waterproofed and is a clean and neat space for storage and utilities, while the detached one-car garage provides additional space for storage. Outside the home, a lovely yard with gardens and specimen plantings provides a serene setting. This desirable location is within walking distance to Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle School. Also enjoy the nearby Cynwyd Trail, Bala Cynwyd Library, shops, restaurants and all the Main Line has to offer!
