Beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 and a half bath Tudor-style gem on a spacious corner lot, making a lasting impression with its charming stone facade, slate roof and lovely landscaped grounds. Enjoy serenity outdoors on the covered rear porch with stone pillars, where you can read the paper, sip morning coffee or share a cocktail with guests on warm summer evenings. There's also a peaceful rear deck off of the laundry room addition, and a huge level grassy fenced yard, perfect for sports, kids' playtime and throwing the ball to Fido. Inside is just as welcoming, with a center hall foyer flanked by a living room at left and dining room at right. Past the main staircase is access to a powder room, stairway to the part-finished basement and door to the large brick paver patio and yard. The formal living room with a fireplace, built-ins and big bay window affords a relaxing ambience for chilling with family or hosting guests. Serve meals and celebrate special occasions in the generous dining room graced by elegant chair rail moldings and a built-in china hutch.

Hardwood floors add a warm, classic touch throughout. The sunny kitchen is fit for the chef and the heart of the home with granite countertops, double stainless steel ovens, a 5-burner cooktop, built-in fridge, microwave, garbage disposal, pantry, and workstation with desk. An open breakfast area accommodates casual fare and adjoins the laundry room, brightened by triple windows and sliding glass doors to the rear deck. Ascend the foyer staircase to a hardwood landing with stained glass windows and a closet, and the bedroom level beyond. Here you'll find a sizable master suite with a walk-in closet and private sky-lit bath with double sinks and a glass-enclosed marble shower, 2 additional light-filled bedrooms and a second full bath. Level 3 houses 2 large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a full bathroom. In the carpeted lower level is a recreation room, great for watching TV, a home gym and other uses. Topping the appeal is the prime location in desirable family-friendly Bala Cynwyd with its top-rated Lower Merion public schools and high school choice zone.
