Welcome to 1032 Cedar Grove Rd, Unit 3
Don’t miss this rare opportunity for a spectacular property in a beautifully restored historic building. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, and originally built in 1799, the William Penn Inn served for a century as a stop for travelers on one of the nation’s first extensive paved roads. It is widely considered to have been a hideaway for runaway slaves at the time and is now one of Lower Merion Township’s oldest historic resources. In 2018, the property was saved from possible demolition, completely renovated and transformed into three exquisite and unique townhouses - one of which is now available. This luxury townhome is the perfect marriage of Main Line character with modern updates and amenities that will satisfy the most discerning contemporary buyers.
As you approach the front door past the professionally landscaped grounds and across the classic flagstone hardscape, you’ll appreciate the vintage lines of this stunning building, restored in a crisp white, with contrasting black shutters and doors. The first floor of the home is sun-drenched thanks to huge windows with classic deep sills. This open-concept level features gorgeous hardwood floors, detailed molding throughout, a beautiful gas fireplace, a powder room, recessed lighting, and an elegant staircase that continues to the second and third stories. The modern kitchen has quartz counters, custom cabinetry and subway tile backsplash, plus high-end stainless appliances. The current homeowner extended the kitchen to provide more functionality and storage with additional cabinetry and a peninsula. French doors lead to a private, flagstone side patio and provide easy, convenient access to the large detached garage assigned to this property.
Hardwood floors continue on the second floor, which has two bedrooms, with two full baths, and a convenient separate laundry area. The primary bedroom has a stunning tray ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and an amazing en-suite bath with a contemporary color-scheme, double vanities, and a big beautiful walk-in glass-doored shower. The second bedroom on this level also has an ensuite bathroom, which has a tiled bathtub with shower. The third floor is a private retreat consisting of a third bedroom with plenty of light and closet space, another full bathroom, and a separate bonus room, perfect for an office or additional living space. All the charm and history in this exquisite renovated property come with an outstanding and sought-after location in the Lower Merion School District. Lower Merion is a commuter’s dream; close to Philadelphia, by car and public transportation, yet able to enjoy the benefits of quiet suburban living. It’s easily walkable to Whole Foods, Starbucks, and the regional rail train station. Just around the corner are the downtowns of bustling Ardmore and charming Narberth. History, convenience, and modern amenities are all found in this wonderfully unique and beautifully restored residence.
