Description

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. Originally built in 1840, the home sits on a street rich in American history—named for the long-gone Buck Tavern, where George Washington himself stayed in 1777 and penned a fiery plea for Congress to support his troops. 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 gourmet space ideal for both cooking and entertaining. In colder months, a natural gas “wood” stove provides warmth and ambiance. Outside, a peaceful backyard features a brick patio perfect for grilling, with lush landscaping of ferns, hostas, and heritage trees that glow with fireflies at night. The front yard offers low-maintenance pachysandra beds, meandering brick and flagstone paths, and stately trees, including several rare and valuable heritage specimens. A detached post-and-beam carriage house adds potential for conversion to a garage or studio. Located within half a mile of The Haverford School, Haverford Friends School, Haverford College Nature Trail, ESF Summer Camp, Mainline Art Center, KidsPark, CHOP Pediatrics, Preston Park, Haverford Station (NHSL), Haverford Station (Regional Rail), Bakeries, Coffee Shops, Grocery Store, etc., this home offers a rare combination of history, community, and convenience.
