Description

Magnificent. That is the word which best describes this incredible 1920’s home in the ever so popular Llanerch Section of Haverford Township. Llanerch homes were built starting at the turn of the century and the neighborhood still holds so many of our township treasures! This 5 bedroom 2.5 bath home has been so meticulously renovated, top to bottom. The existing owners took this renovation personally and they took their time as they love the home and its history so much. They made all the right decisions! Pull up and immediately admire the tree lined street, with its many different 1920s homes and the classic stone beauty with Tudor style trimwork that is 16 Tenby. Park in the private drive or on the street right out front. Walking up to the stunning open front porch with the solid wood original front door, you’ll notice the bluestone stairs and the brass door knocker. Enter in the foyer and immediately feel the natural light from each direction. The original inglenook is perfect for welcoming your guests or a great mud room space for you. The open living room has an incredibly large Wissahickon Schist fireplace, flanked by the original custom built-in cabinets for display and storage. The fireplace hearth is new and blue stone, to mimic the stairs out front. The living room blends right into the wide open kitchen and dining space with a large bay window, room for a large table and service piece. Enjoy access to the back porch (the perfect spot to grill while your guests enjoy themselves on the back patio!) right off the dining area. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous! Two toned shaker cabinets, a center island with seating and storage, stainless steel appliances to include a gas range and stainless hood, huge windows, great task lighting, a tiled backsplash and a slider door that leads out to the brand new patio and large and level backyard. The entire first floor has brand new oak floors which mesh well with the original oak hardwoods throughout the 2nd floor. The half bath is perfectly tucked away! The hallway from the front door to the kitchen offers back-stair access that leads upstairs as well as a door to the fresh, clean, and dry basement! The 2nd floor has so much to offer! A large laundry room, plumbed and ready to go, a primary bedroom with a huge walk-in closet and a sitting room as well as 2 more bedrooms and a bonus room that can be a 4th bedroom on the 2nd floor, office, den, nursery or guest room. The hall bath is incredible with its oak vanity and large walk-in glass door shower. Up on the 3rd floor you will find 2 large bedrooms and the 2nd full bath, also huge! This home has so much versatility in its floorplan! The basement could certainly be finished as well if desired. The location of this home is awesome if you’re looking for walkability. Enjoy a front row seat to township festivals and parades by walking right up to Darby Rd. Walk to schools, parks such as Chatham Glen and the Grange in just minutes, walk to public transportation and all things Havertown like Brookline Blvd. This meticulously renovated home offers the perfect pairing of old and new! Much of the original trimwork, untouched, is intact. This home is like no other and you will be so proud to call it your own. The best part is you just need to move in!
