Listing description

Welcome to 117 Mary Waters Ford Road, a freshly updated four-bedroom home in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. Step inside to a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light and highlighted by dramatic 14-foot ceilings. At the heart of the home is a brand-new kitchen with generous counter space and cabinetry. The adjoining dining area features new sliding glass doors that open to an expansive covered patio—perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while overlooking the private, nearly half-acre lot. Upstairs, the primary suite features an updated en suite bath and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath are thoughtfully situated down the hall, providing nice separation from the primary suite. The lower level offers wonderful additional living space with a large bonus room—ideal for a home office, family room or playroom—quietly tucked away from the main living areas. The attached garage, with a new garage door, provides direct access to a generously sized mudroom and laundry room with a 2-year old washer and dryer and plenty of room for coats, boots and sports equipment. A powder room and oversized storage closet complete this level. Practically a brand new home: primary bath updated in 2023, sliding glass door, kitchen and appliances updated in 2024, roof with warranty replaced in 2021, and the hot water heater and HVAC replaced in 2018. And then there is the location. Step outside and enjoy the park directly across the street, with a swimming pool, library, baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, playground and walking path to elementary school. Or leave the car at home and walk into Manayunk for coffee, shopping or dinner. It’s a rare combination of neighborhood recreation, walkability and a private, nearly half-acre setting. Freshly painted inside and out and ready for its next owner, 117 Mary Waters Ford Road is truly move-in ready. Unpack your bags and enjoy.

Not reported in the MLS feed

Recomputed from the county assessment ($289,760, 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.
