637 Malvern Rd, Ardmore, PA 19003

Enjoy the walkability of Ardmore and its easy access to Center City Philadelphia, University City, and even New York City in this comfortable 3-bed, 2.5-bath twin with over 2200 sq ft of space! Your new home offers a comfortable living space featuring a recently refreshed kitchen with appliance upgrades, a uniquely large living room (19' x 17') and dining room with original hardwood flooring, and ample storage space. Enjoy the view through the glass French doors, which lead to a covered front porch with plenty of room for chairs and a table. Renovated in 2023, the kitchen has granite countertops and all-new stainless appliances. It has ample storage space via ceiling-height cabinets and a large pantry. The upgraded stainless appliances include a gas stove with convection oven and air fryer modes, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, a pot rack, and filtered water at the sink. A bonus room off the back of the kitchen is perfect as a dedicated office space, a reading nook, a children's playroom, or even as a nursery. The room has an additional closet, access to the first-floor powder room, and a door to let your dog out to the rear yard. A comfortable master suite with a full ensuite bathroom, a large closet, and a ceiling fan will leave you feeling relaxed and well-rested. Two additional bedrooms and a shared guest bathroom with shower and tub provide plenty of room for a family of 4, your guests, or home offices. All bedrooms feature ceiling fans for extra comfort, and their own nicely sized closets. The guest bathroom closet provides linen storage, and the hallway closet has ample space for hanging additional clothing. In addition to forced air heating, the living room's wood-burning stove fireplace insert provides cozy warmth in the winter. Central air provides comfort for the summer. The 600sq ft walk-out unfinished basement brings the total usable space to about 2250sq ft and includes a washer and dryer, a stationary tub, and additional access to the basement-level rear yard. The full-height basement ceilings allow it to be used as another large living space, a play area, an exercise room, an office, a storage area, or a combination as needed. The rear yard can be used as a fully enclosed fenced-in area for a medium-sized or larger dog with the garage used as a large storage area. Dog owners who have enjoyed this home in the past typically use the ample street parking (no permits required) and leave the driveway gate closed to keep the yard fully enclosed. The driveway gate can also be left open for the driveway to be used as 2-car off-street parking accessible via an alleyway, plus an extended 1-car garage that has notable storage even when a car is in it. In this case, your dog could certainly still be tethered. This home is in an excellent location with quick walks to award-winning Chestnutwold Elementary School and playground, Haverford College's Nature Trail, and lots of playgrounds. The neighborhood has many families and an annual block party. You'll have lots of options for great restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, entertainment, and shopping. Our last count was 17 pizza places that deliver to the house. Both downtown Ardmore and Havertown are a mile walk away. Suburban Square, an outdoor mall with an Apple Store, farmers market, Trader Joe's, etc., is a 1.1mi walk. Even closer, there are multiple restaurants, barbers, and markets on County Line Road, just a half-mile walk away. Enjoy a convenient commute to University City and Center City Philadelphia via the Norristown High Speed Line (R100) or SEPTA Regional Rail on the Paoli/Thorndale line (R5), which are both 1mi walk. The Ardmore train station is also an Amtrak station with multiple daily Keystone Line trains to and from New York Penn Station, and Harrisburg. The 6:35 a.m. train puts you in Manhattan at 8:30 a.m. without having to change trains. Sorry, this property is not licensed with the township for undergraduate students. Dog-friendly, but not cat-friendly. The home is available as of May 1 for a lease that would run through June 2026, or multiple years (preferred). NOTE: We are not yet scheduling walk-throughs, but are happy to provide video walkthroughs of the home from prior to many of the upgrades that will show the size and flow of the home. If needed, we will schedule walkthroughs on a first-come-first-serve basis pending the availability of the current tenant. Also note: This home is ONLY being listed for rent on Zillow, Trulia, and Hotpads. Any listing on Craigslist or any other site is a scam.
