    What's special

    Set on an idyllic corner lot just off Conshohocken State Rd in the heart of Bala Cynwyd, 51 Academy Rd is a newly renovated luxury residence that effortlessly blends modern design with a comfortable, easy living feel. This 4,300+/- sqft home offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, two driveways, dual zone HVAC, a private patio, and placement in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. Out front, mature trees, a wrap-around lawn, and a timeless stone facade create standout curb appeal. Inside, wide plank floors stretch through a welcoming center foyer with a builtin hall tree, creating a stylish and functional drop zone for coats, bags, and shoes, along with access to the garage. Just off the entry, the large living room is filled with natural light and provides plenty of space to gather and entertain. The heart of the home unfolds in the bright, open, and airy kitchen, dining area, and family room. The sleek chef’s kitchen is fitted with custom two-tone cabinetry, top-of-the-line GE Cafe appliances, gleaming countertops, a massive island, and a butler’s pantry. The dining area is lined with bright windows, while a stone fireplace anchors the family room. A versatile bedroom, ideal for a home office or guest space, along with a powder room, completes the main level. Upstairs, a huge primary suite occupies its own wing, featuring two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom with a double vanity and a rainfall shower. Down the hall is another bedroom suite with an attached bathroom, along with two additional bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a convenient laundry closet. The expansive basement with high ceilings offers endless potential for future finishing, a home gym, and additional storage. Out back, the secluded patio is ready to be transformed into a private retreat, perfect for summer barbecues and al fresco dining. In addition to everything inside, this prime location is close to markets, medical offices, and local businesses along Montgomery Ave and City Ave, while Suburban Square, downtown Narberth, and Manayunk are also nearby. Plus, there’s easy access to I-76 and Center City Philly via the Cynwyd Line. Schedule your tour today!
