Listing description

Welcome to 104 Grayling Avenue, a beautifully refreshed Victorian in the heart of Narberth Borough, where remarkable architectural history meets comfortable modern living. Designed in 1889 by pioneering Philadelphia architect Minerva Parker Nichols for Mrs. Sarah E.W. Bewley, this special residence offers a rare connection to architectural history. Nichols was a trailblazing woman in American architecture whose work included residences, clubs and civic buildings throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond. More than 135 years later, 104 Grayling remains a wonderful example of her residential work. Offering approximately 2,800 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, the home provides gracious living spaces, abundant natural light, and an exceptional walk-to-everything location. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful wraparound porch sets the tone—a wonderful extension of the living space and the perfect place for morning coffee, evening conversations or simply enjoying the neighborhood. The exterior has been freshly painted and enhanced with new landscaping and fresh sod, creating inviting curb appeal and a lovely setting. Inside, the entire home has been freshly painted, highlighting its high ceilings, hardwood floors, generous room sizes, and easy flow for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen and baths complement the home's historic architectural character, while central air provides modern comfort. Convenient first-floor laundry makes everyday living that much easier. Outdoor living continues in the newly refreshed yard, with fresh sod, thoughtful landscaping and a Lancaster shed providing convenient additional storage. And then there is the location. Leave the car behind and enjoy everything that makes Narberth so special. Stroll to downtown Narberth's restaurants, shops, parks, playgrounds, movie theater, and SEPTA train station for an easy commute to Center City. Residential permit street parking is available through Narberth Borough. Freshly painted inside and out and ready for its next chapter, 104 Grayling Avenue offers the character and craftsmanship of a historic Narberth Victorian, the distinction of being designed by pioneering architect Minerva Parker Nichols, and the walkable lifestyle that makes this community so sought after. Move right in and become part of the next chapter of this remarkable home's history.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $207,210, well below the ~$356,110 its asking price implies at Montgomery County's common level ratio (29.8%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $6,138/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($207,210, 1996 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
