This is what you have been looking for! Can you imagine building your own home or doing a total renovation of one located on a cul de sac street sitting on over an acre of land in Villanova within the Lower Merion school district? Too good to be true? No, it’s not! The original home was a lovely 3100 sq ft brick front colonial. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, one on the main level and the other in the full basement. The main floor is designed for a living room with a two-story ceiling, family room complete with brick surround fireplace, dining room, large kitchen with a breakfast nook, powder room and laundry room. The grand sweeping staircase leads upstairs to a very large primary bedroom with a private bath. Two other good sized bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second floor. The basement has a separate area which would be a perfect spot to place an office or exercise area. There is also a two-car garage. If you so choose, you can add on to the home to make it larger or re-design it to suit your needs, or even tear it down and make it into your custom-built model home. Either way, you are looking at the advantages of new construction minus the worries and major costs of adding utility and water lines. This lot is something very hard to find here. A flat lot, on a cul de sac with a little over an acre of land to relax and play in. It is an oasis in the middle of the Main Line. There is a paddle ball court, a bell shaped built-in pool with diving board, and a lovely gazebo. There are miniature dwarf fruit trees that are actively bearing fruit. The trees planted are cherry, apple, Asian pear, fig, and persimmon. There are large trees planted to ensure privacy and offer shade and constant foliage throughout the year. These trees are maple, Japanese red maple, magnolia, camellias, and crepe myrtle. The front of the house has huge azalea bushes framed in a heart shape. No landscaping left for you to do! On top of all this, you have shopping at Suburban Square, the convenience of being so close to the city, airport and King of Prussia. There is easy access to Septa, Route 30 and the Schuylkill expressway. There is a new middle school in walking distance, and many private schools including The Haverford School, Agnes Irwin School, Shipley School, Baldwin School, and Rosemont Holy Child School, are all less than 4 miles away. Villanova University, Eastern University, Rosemont, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr Colleges are also less than four miles away. This won’t last, make your appointment to see it before it is gone!
