Character abounds in this handsome Dutch colonial on a tree lined street in one of Haverford township~s most prestigious neighborhoods; Merion Golf Manor. This home is a hole in one!! Step into the front foyer and you~ll be greeted by the original gleaming, hardwood floors w/ ribbon inlay throughout. The fireside living room to your left is drenched in natural light thanks to the oversized windows. The fireplace surround was hand crafted using Motawi ceramic tiles, a slate hearth and recessed TV (included). French doors on either side of the fireplace lead to a bright, airy family room with built-in Arts and Crafts bookcases. This lovely space could also function as a den, an office or just a quiet place to retreat away from it all. The spacious dining room to your right upon entering this home welcomes your guests with its warmth and character evident in the crown molding, chair rail,original bay window and golden hard wood floors. You~ll be happily preparing meals in the updated kitchen featuring Silver Travertine stone tile, LG refrigerator (included), granite countertops and view of the spectacular backyard. A laundry room w/ LG washer and dryer (included) and powder room can be found conveniently off of the kitchen. But wait, there~s more~.. a lovely breakfast room flooded with morning sun and ample counter space allows you to enjoy your morning joe with French doors overlooking the incredible, very private bluestone dining terrace with a 30 foot long pergola for al fresco entertaining. Beyond the terrace you~ll find a professionally landscaped yard w/ Schip laurel evergreens, privacy hedges and perennial gardens. It~s a gardeners delight and even without a green thumb you can benefit from the enchanting beauty afforded by this lovely and serene setting. Moving to the 2nd floor you~ll be happy to find a southern exposure master suite w/ a sitting area anchored by an arch of bay windows. En suite bathroom w/ claw foot tub/shower, a pedestal sink on a retro-chic black and white tile floor.

Two additional bedrooms, both w/ windows on all sides and closets that feature built-in shelving and cubbies. The unfinished 3rd floor/attic with plenty of vertical clearance has huge potential to become additional living space.

Yes, there~s central air throughout! And what perfect home in a perfect location wouldn~t be complete without a walk-to location (village of Oakmont), yearly neighborhood social events, block parties, Oakmont farmers market, (3 blocks from house), Oakmont Roots Coffee House, yoga studios, and all that the Darby Rd. corridor has to offer in the way of shops, restaurants, and community centers.
