The living room is currently being utilized as a quiet study tucked away from the hub of the home. A fabulous layout for entertaining with all rooms radiating from the kitchen and multiple access points from indoor to outdoor living spaces. Beautiful refinished oak hardwoods span throughout the home, and a powder room completes this level. Upstairs the expanded primary suite has two custom built walk-in closets, a practical shared laundry chute and Juliet balcony for taking in the private, manicured and quiet backyard. The Primary bath features custom tile detail, skylight and frameless glass walk-in shower with built-in shelves. There are three additional spacious bedrooms with ample closet space as well as a 5th bedroom/den which overlooks the courtyard and has views of the flowering green roof.

The 3rd hall bath is tastefully renovated with custom tile detail and skylight and has a tub for soaking. Walk-up attic makes for a great storage area and could be finished to add space to the home. The basement is finished and offers a media & exercise room area and great storage. The spectacular grounds are truly a retreat, the new maintenance-free TimberTech deck offers a quiet space overlooking the ample yard, a perfect spot for a pool! With 3 garages - there is plenty of parking. Convenient (5 mins) to both the R5 & High Speed train, Haverford College's pond & arboretum, Haverford Square shopping & restaurants as well as nature trails & Community Center at Haverford Reserve and a quick commute to center city, make this a prime location.
