Property Description
This beautiful, elegant, classic stone colonial is located on a quiet street in the heart of Bala Cynwyd. As you walk to the home you are immediately impressed by its noteworthy stature & many charming architectural details. The sun-filled home is ideal for gatherings & entertaining with a wonderful flow from the center hall. There are hardwood floors throughout the 1st & 2nd floors.
The main entrance has a center hall with a coat closet & nearby powder room. To the right is a substantially sized living room anchored by a large wood burning fireplace with a wood & brick surround and beautiful mantel. Many large windows invite natural light to steam throughout the home. A half-light door leads to a covered patio overlooking a stunning backyard.
From the center hall double french doors open to a formal dining room that features a large bay window overlooking the backyard, built-in corner cabinets, wainscoting, privacy door to the kitchen, and single half-light door to the rear covered patio.
The kitchen has random width hardwood floors, custom wood cabinetry, tile back splash, center island with seating & a cook top.

You can access the 2nd floor and the basement from a set of backstairs, one to the 2nd floor and the other to the basement laundry room. The kitchen also has a back door that accesses the backyard, driveway and the garage.
A small study is located off the center hall. The study has knotty pine walls, built-in cabinets, bookshelves & hardwood floors. This is a perfect room for a home office or cozy den.
