Property Description
Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Ardmore. Just steps from Suburban Square and the Ardmore train, this grand 1910 brick colonial offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The property backs up to Packer Park, a hidden gem known only to locals, providing a semi-private, natural retreat for dog walks, gardening, and outdoor gatherings, with direct access through a private gate. At the heart of this home is the sweeping wrap-around porch, often referred to by neighbors as the “house with the amazing porch.” Perfect for summer evenings or rainy-day conversations, this spacious, covered retreat sets the tone for the welcoming atmosphere that awaits inside. Step through the stately grand foyer, where 9-ft ceilings, classic moldings, and exquisite millwork make a striking first impression. Oversized, deep-silled windows and 4 beautiful fireplaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout, while original architectural details evoke the home's historic roots. The dining room features 3 chandeliers and a marble fireplace, ideal for both intimate dinners and large gatherings. The living room is wrapped in upscale, neutral grasscloth wallpaper with a fireplace, while the light-filled family room offers custom built-in shelves, a fireplace, and a large bay window overlooking the lush backyard. The re-envisioned kitchen combines classic elegance with modern convenience, featuring Carrara marble convex tile, glass display cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated hardware and fixtures. A well-thought-out mudroom leads to a back porch, perfect for grilling and herb gardening, with a lattice-work storage unit for added convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a wood-trimmed fireplace, his and her closets, and a luxurious marble bathroom with heated floors, double sinks, dual rain/wand shower heads, and a separate water closet. The hall bath on this level features a large vanity, deep, oversized claw foot soaking tub, and a linen closet. Two additional bedrooms on this level include one with board-and-batten molding and the other with a private en suite bath, for a total of 3 full baths on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor provides 4 additional spacious rooms and a full bath, offering flexible space for guests, a private au pair living space, exercise room, or home office. The finished basement adds even more versatile space, including a large playroom, wine cellar, and ample room for storage – ideal for everything from recreation to organized living. This home has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance both efficiency and comfort, including a new roof, tankless hot water heater, two-zone HVAC, high-efficiency gas boiler, new windows, new fencing, landscaping, and a refinished driveway. The exterior has been meticulously maintained, with fresh paint on the porches and the entire interior (2025), as well as the front porch roof (2020). An outdoor storage shed adds practical storage, while an electric outlet on the front porch provides added convenience for outdoor entertaining. Originally built for one of 3 sisters of the MacFarland estate, this home is filled with preserved historical details, from the original wine cellar shelves to the hardware on the porch once used to hitch horses. Thoughtfully renovated over the years the home's original wood beams and brick pillars speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. Enjoy a short walk to the Suburban Square train, providing convenient access to Philadelphia and even New York City on the Paoli/Thorndale line. Walk to Maman for coffee, shop at Trader Joe's, or catch live music and family events at Suburban Square – this home offers the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. Located in the award-winning Lower Merion Schools , with a choice of high schools, this home truly offers the best of both worlds – a historic retreat with all the modern conveniences.
