Lovely home in highly rated Haverford School District! It has been carefully maintained and now updated by long time owner and is available to you in move-in condition. Quality of yesteryear and carefully chosen updates create the perfect blend of classic charm and modern style. You approach the home via a meandering slate walkway and arrive at the covered entrance. Enter white marble tiled foyer and the spacious, light filled Living Room and from there the open Kitchen-Dining area, which invites to conversation about one's day while looking forward to a nice meal. Most of the windows have been replaced in the past 4 years. The Den completes the 1st floor. It can be entered from from the foyer and from the Kitchen. All rooms have good sun exposure. 3 bow and bay windows enhance the spaciousness of the main level and the open floor plan gives much opportunity to be together, yet apart. A busy cook will appreciate the ergonomic design of the Galley Kitchen, which has been renovated with stainless steel appliances and Granite counter tops. A row of hanging cabinets opens from both sides to make setting up the dinner table convenient. There is a Samsung gas range with range hood exhaust that vents outdoors. Between Kitchen and Dining room a Granite topped Island has been added. From the Kitchen you can enter the screened-in back porch with ceiling fan. Take your breakfast out there and enjoy the expansive yard and morning sun. Also from the Kitchen you can access a 1/2 bath and enter the Basement. The unfinished Basement is clean and dry, has freshly parched and painted walls and a drainage system.
