MOTIVATED SELLER!!! This meticulously maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-home in Havertown offers contemporary charm and classic comfort. The classy Dutch Colonial has been lovingly cared for and tastefully updated, all while keeping its character. The stylish, private driveway will immediately grab your attention. With a graceful stone exterior, peaceful lot, expansive Deck, spacious 2-car Garage, and the private driveway (parking for 4+), the stage is set for a residence that will please even the most exacting buyer. Step inside thru the traditional center entrance, into the Foyer (w/ cedar closet), where all new hardwood floors welcome you to the home. Note that all of the wood flooring on the main floor has been replaced with brand new hardwood. From the foyer, enter either the Dining Room (bay window w/ custom shades (2021), crown and chair rail millwork, pass-through Breakfast bar to the Kitchen) or into the formal Living Room with newer gas fireplace, bay window and stylish sconces. 2 sets of French doors lead to the newly carpeted all-season Sunroom (windows galore and wood-burning Fireplace) -- the perfect destination for a sunny home office or relaxation room. Completely renovated (2020) and very well-equipped, the Kitchen/Breakfast area (subway tile backsplash, granite countertops, stainless steel, 5-burner gas cooking, xtra storage cabinets under breakfast bar, recessed lighting, hardwood floors) has a convenient exit to the large Deck overlooking the rear grounds (perfect for kids and/or dog). On the 2nd level you find 3 newly painted bedrooms with original/refinished hardwood floors — the 3rd of which was converted to a walk-in closet and dressing room (2020 Topshelf Closet Design), each w/ a ceiling fan & cedar closets in 2 of the rooms, and 1 full Bath, (totally remodeled in 2018) – more than ample space for family/guests. This floor used to be 4 bedrooms, but 1 was sacrificed to expand the Primary into an extra-spacious, lovely Master Bedroom. As with many homes of the early 20th century, this one has a finished third floor. New carpeting was recently installed. With an updated full Bath on this level, this could be a private Master Suite, guest area, or au pair quarters. There's plenty of additional living space in the partially finished basement, w/ newer carpeting (2020), laundry facilities, and another full Bath -- versatile space for a playroom/media room/additional living area. Storage needs will be accommodated in the unfinished area here, in the eaves of the 3rd floor, or in the 2-car Garage (which has an extra refrigerator) w/ a 300 s/f +/- loft (a rare find in Havertown). Organization will be simple in this garage (w/ cool vinyl grid flooring) thanks to a custom storage system. Located w/i walking distance of Havertown's top-rated schools (HS & Middle Schools), charming shops, watering holes and vibrant restaurants (Savona, Burrata, McGillicuddy’s, Al Pastor, Crossbar, Kettle, Koffmeyer's, Brick & Brew), and 2 very close & convenient WaWas. Moreover, equally close are the Haverford Township Library, Veterans Park, and the new YMCA. Plus, the Blue Route is less than 3 miles away, providing easy access to the airport, I-95, PA turnpike, Rt 76, & CC Philly. FEATURES/FACTS/DATES: Classic Dutch Colonial, Center entrance floor plan, Spacious Foyer w/ cedar closet, Formal Living Room w/ newer gas fireplace (2018), Gleaming Hardwoods -- 1st & 2nd floors, Gourmet Kitchen w/ gas cooking, tile backsplash, granite & stainless steel, Newer Kitchen appliances (2014 & 2018/19), Entertainment sized Deck, Partially finished basement w/ full Bath, 3 Bedrooms on 2nd floor, 2 on 3rd floor.
