Narberth homes aren’t known for big yards, so this 1915 stone Colonial, with a spectacular quarter-acre plus lot, is a real unicorn! This 12,500 square foot property sits on a quiet, shady street right in Narberth Borough, and offers wonderful potential, with spacious yards on both sides of the house. A roomy, covered front porch, with gorgeous stone columns, lines the whole front of the house. Enter the home through a glass-paned door into a living room with original hardwood floors and a wood-burning brick fireplace. The hardwood floors continue through a wide, ornate doorway into a generous dining room with windows on two sides and a swinging door to the kitchen. The retro kitchen is large and functional, with newer appliances, and leads to an enclosed back sunporch with exit to the backyard. Upstairs, the second floor has four large bedrooms, along with a hall bath that was updated in 2014. Three smaller rooms and another full bath are on the third floor, giving plenty of options for additional bedrooms, playroom, offices, or even an au pair suite. The full basement is unfinished, with storage space, a workshop area, mechanicals, and a laundry area. Updates in the home include a new (2022) roof, new stucco work, newer front porch concrete, newer hot water heater and high-efficiency furnace. The possibilities are endless for this charming home, which is in good, well maintained condition, but is prime for some modern updating. It’s the perfect blank slate of a house, on a lot that’s a real rarity in this little Borough. Just blocks away is one of the Main Line’s favorite little downtowns, with plenty of shops and restaurants that are easily walkable. Commutes are easy too, as Narberth is just a mile from City Line Ave, with quick access to highways, and a downtown regional rail station that’s just three stops from 30th Street Station. Families have great options here with the award-winning Lower Merion School District, with this home located in the high school choice area, as well as a variety of nearby private schools. The sellers spent the last 50 years raising a family in this home. Some lucky new owner now has the opportunity to make this one their own.
