Nestled in a highly desirable neighborhood within the coveted Lower Merion School District, this historic home blends timeless charm with modern comfort in a friendly, welcoming community known for its block parties and low taxes.

Inside, the home brims with period character, from wavy glass windows and handcrafted solid wood doors to rustic latches and wide-plank hardwood floors milled in the 19th century. A cozy living area features a working wood-burning fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, while thick floor joists underscore the enduring strength of its construction. Unique touches abound, such as custom radiator covers that maximize efficiency while serving as functional furniture. The main-level bedroom offers convenience, luxury and space for a future closet. A connected full bathroom boasts heated slate floors, and a one-of-a-kind vanity made from reclaimed American Chestnut. Two more generously sized bedrooms upstairs include solid wood custom closet systems and share a full bath with a tub-shower combo and ample storage. The heart of the home is the light-filled eat-in kitchen, surrounded by tall windows and Craftsman details. High-end solid-wood cabinetry, a professional-style Italian range, stainless appliances, and counter seating make this gou
