Welcome to 186 Lakeside Road, a premier 5-bedroom, 4+ bath colonial in a highly sought-after pocket of Ardmore. Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its 1920's charm, this home features an idyllic blend of classic craftsmanship and stylish modern conveniences. TIMELESS CURB APPEAL
This Main Line colonial has unbeatable curb appeal with a classic stone-and-siding exterior. An open air parlor invites you to relax and greet your neighbors. In the rear you’ll find a covered side porch looking out over your level, green backdrop. MAIN LEVEL
The foyer leads to an inviting living room with a wood-burning fireplace designed for gatherings and holidays. Just off the living room is a home office with built-in shelving. The heart of the home is the open-concept chef’s kitchen, featuring ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a large island with bar seating, and a custom banquette. The kitchen opens to the large family room with a gas fireplace, boasting plenty of natural light thanks to its windows and french doors to the side covered porch. There is a separate, formal dining room framed by a large bay window, perfectly equipped for large family meals and celebration, just off the kitchen. A mudroom with built-in storage and laundry along with a powder room complete the main level. Room for everyone! Heading upstairs, you’ll find the oversized primary suite, a spacious and sunny sanctuary with a large walk-in closet and sleek en suite bathroom featuring dual vanities. A second bedroom with an en suite bathroom can be found on this level, perfect for use as an au-pair or in-law suite. Two additional bedrooms and a hallway bathroom complete this level. On the third floor you’ll find the fifth bedroom and a fourth full bathroom, perfectly laid out for whatever bonus space you need: use it as a craft room, hobby space, home gym, or additional home office. Downstairs you’ll find an unfinished lower level excellent for storage. PARKING & GROUNDS
186 Lakeside features a private driveway as well as a one-car detached garage. The street is quiet, yet friendly, and accessible while remaining private. In the backyard the level, green yard and tree-lined backdrop create the perfect atmosphere for relaxing in nature! UNBEATABLE ACCESSIBILITY
Enjoy nearby Suburban Square, Wynnewood’s Whole Foods, and the Ardmore or Wynnewood train stations for an easy commute to Philadelphia, NYC, and DC by regional rail and Amtrak service.
