Colonial, Dutch

Welcome to 518 Merwyn Road! This lovely, “move-in ready” Dutch Colonial home boasts 3+ bedrooms and 2 full baths. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just a short walk to the village of Narberth, its private driveway leads to a covered front porch overlooking a secluded perennial flower garden with specimen trees. The first floor offers an open floor plan with beautiful hardwood throughout. The original, grand stone fireplace is the focal point of the expansive living room with two doors opening to the front porch. A sublime, sunny formal dining room leads to a custom kitchen with abundant wooden cabinets, gorgeous granite countertops, a built-in pantry, a granite-topped breakfast bar with seating and a Jenn-Air electric stove, a KitchenAid double oven, and Bosch and Sub- Zero appliances. Exit the kitchen or dining room to a large deck — perfect for grilling & relaxing — with easy access to the long 4+ car driveway and the 2-car garage, complete with electricity. A charming curved stairway brings you to the second floor. The primary bedroom was converted from two bedrooms to make one spacious room with a wall of custom closets and decorative wood paneling. A generous second bedroom with walk-in closet and a modern hall bath with wainscotting, ceramic tile, pedestal sink, and glass-enclosed shower complete this floor. The third floor consists of two bedrooms, one currently used as a sitting room, and a delightful full bath with pedestal sink and the original clawfoot tub with added shower attachment. There is a full unfinished basement with a double laundry sink, a washer and dryer, a new ¼ bath toilet, and an outside exit. Surrounded by exquisite plantings and mature trees, the deep back yard allows for a private setting with plenty of room to entertain a crowd, engage in a variety of sports, play, or contemplate the beauty of nature. This home provides all that is desirable to homeowners: expansive outdoor private spaces, off-street parking with a two-car garage, and a renovated interior space with modern bathrooms and kitchen, all while preserving its original character.
