Property Description
A classic Merion Park stone colonial. Built by Sherman Reed in 1939. Later Architect Robert Patterson designed the expanded family room and Architect Brian Longnecker designed the high gabled, vaulted outdoor room with stone walls. A block away from the General Wayne Park with tennis courts, playground and baseball field. This home welcomes you into the foyer with the original stone wall, slate tiled floors with an Arts & Crafts inspired wallpaper that continues into the powder room. The cozy living room features deep window sills, built in bookcase, a wood burning fireplace with a heat producing insert and hardwood floors. A unique arched shelf visually delineates the living room and dining room with character. The focal point of the dining room is a bay window that floods the room with light and accentuates the crown molding and hardwood floors. The L-shaped kitchen, with light tile floors and white cabinets allows the black granite to shine against the white subway tiles. A stone archway leads to the mud room and breakfast bar, built in cubbies and bench and the side entrance to the yard. The expanded family room allows for a large family gathering table overlooking the relaxing family room. The family room is flanked by three walls of windows bringing in light and the outdoors. Exiting the house through the mudroom a sheltered stone patio leads you to a wonderful outdoor room with high gabled, vaulted roof. A perfect place to enjoy the outdoors rain or shine. The four spacious bedrooms on the second floor have deep window sills, deep closets, and hardwood floors under the carpeting. The hall bath has a tub/shower, pedestal sink and linen closet featuring the black and white tile representative of the homes period. The second-floor landing also has a deep storage closet and linen closet. The primary bedroom has plenty of storage space with a built-in bank of closets. The primary bathroom is the original tiled shower and walls. A separate linen closet and clothes closet present opportunity to expand the bath to meet your needs. The basement is unfinished and houses the washer, dryer and utilities.
In the sellers own words: What I love about this home:
Steps from the tennis courts and fields of General Wayne Park; great neighborhood; very solid and beautiful stone exterior for entire house (not just the front); wood stove insert with glass front in the fireplace; beautiful hardwood floors.
