Property Description

Ardmore PA • 5BR • 3BA • 0.23 Acres • Walk to Train • 2-Car Garage • Finished 3rd Floor • Fenced Yard • Lower Merion Room to grow. Room to gather. Room to breathe. Space, flexibility, and walkable convenience come together at 124 Grandview Avenue in Lower Merion Township. Offering 2,922 square feet above grade on one of the three largest lots on the street, this detached single delivers character and scale rarely found this close to the heart of Ardmore within walking distance to the train, parks, shops, and restaurants. A welcoming foyer opens into a large, bright living room with original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond, a side porch with stunning windows on 3 sides provides flexible space for a den, office, art studio, playroom, or whatever you might need. Stunning windows are a theme throughout the first and second floor – all huge, drenching the spaces in light. The hardwood continues into the dining room, where a pass-through connects seamlessly to the kitchen. A previous owner used the dining room as a bedroom and built a full bath right next to it – so, a full bath on the first floor. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the efficient, beautifully renovated kitchen is a cook’s delight with soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a porcelain double sink, 6- burner gas stove, and TWO modern pantry areas with spacious custom cabinetry. A mudroom off the kitchen completes this level and leads to a rear patio overlooking the fully-fenced backyard. As one of the 3 largest lots on the street, the outdoor space offers room to garden, gather, or simply be, with privacy, peace, and quiet. Fabulous trees shade the patio. There are 2 100-year-old oaks and one 100-year-old maple on the property and many perennial plantings: roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, daffodils, cannas, hollyhocks. A loooong driveway and two-car detached garage provide rare and plentiful off-street parking. Chickens are legally permitted and a luxury walk-in coop and aviary, replete with 7 gorgeous hens, is included, if desired! The second level includes 3 generously-sized bedrooms and a bright neutral hall bath with tub-shower combination. Huge, gorgeous windows in each room. The primary bedroom is massive and has the potential for a walk-in closet AND an en suite bath. The finished third floor adds two additional bedrooms, big closets, and a full bath, creating flexible options for guests, workspace, or an alternate primary suite. Throughout, there is a delightful combination of contemporary updates and old-world character. An unfinished basement offers storage, laundry, Bilco doors to the back yard, and future potential. A 2-yr old gas heating system and a whole-house fan provide year-round comfort. The electrical system has been completely rewired in recent years. This location is unmatched. Walk to the bus or train, Linwood Park, Ardmore Park, yoga, playground, the library, Carlino’s, Suburban Square, Trader Joe’s, the Ardmore Farmers Market, Whole Foods, and the new Ardmore Avenue Community Center / PALM Center. Space when you want it. Convenience when you need it. All in the heart of Ardmore.
