Description

Welcome to 542 Montgomery Avenue, a lovely stone-and-siding colonial situated perfectly between the towns of Haverford and Bryn Mawr. This 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bathroom colonial has endless classic charm: with hardwood flooring, arched entryways, deep-silled windows, and a quaint front porch. Located in highly-sought after Lower Merion School District, this home is a fantastic investment at an exceptional value. With fresh, neutral paint and updated decor throughout, you can move right in! As you approach the front door, you’ll find a covered front porch welcoming you to the home. The home’s layout is ideal: as a center-hall colonial, the flow from one room to the next is ideal for hosting or everyday living. The living room is anchored by a fireplace and stylish built-in shelving, creating a cozy atmosphere. The formal dining room leads into the updated kitchen and breakfast nook, giving you plenty of dining options. A bonus den provides an excellent flex-space, to be used as an office, hobby space, home gym, or additional living area depending on your unique needs. A laundry room and half bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs you’ll find a generously-sized primary suite complete with an en suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and a hallway full bathroom. The walk-up attic offers storage and potential! The lot is spacious and flat, with just enough room in both the front and backyards for relaxation and play. The expanded driveway accommodates parking for you and your guests, and trees line the perimeter of the home, providing shade and privacy. The true gem of this home is its location: walking distance to the shops at Haverford Square, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, Ludington Library, Gladwyne Elementary School, and so much more, while still maintaining a neighborhood feel! Commuting is a breeze, as a short stroll will bring you to either Haverford or Bryn Mawr train stations, providing Regional Rail access to Center City, Philadelphia and beyond. Preston and Polo Fields, Sharpe Park, the walking trails at Haverford College, and Merion Cricket Club are all nearby, ideal for those who enjoy admiring the open space and spending time outdoors, relaxing or exercising. There is so much to love about 542 W Montgomery Avenue, come and see for yourself!
