A rare opportunity to create your dream home in one of the best school districts in the country. Welcome to 124 Cornell Road, a wonderfully solid and well-loved home tucked beneath the trees of one of Bala Cynwyd’s most enchanting streets, in the beloved College Park neighborhood and award-winning Lower Merion School District. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a fantastic split-level layout, this is the kind of home you can settle into now and make your own little by little, over time. The bones are strong, the spaces are generous, and the possibilities are everywhere. Preserve its character, refresh a room at a time, or dream up something entirely your own. Surrounded by mature trees and sprawling greenery, the home feels wonderfully enveloped in nature, with a backyard offering plenty of room to garden, gather, play or simply enjoy the changing seasons. Inside, hardwood floors throughout (and beneath what is carpeted) bring warmth and character to the living and dining rooms, while the eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home with plenty of opportunity to reimagine it to your taste, and large glass sliders providing access to your beautiful land just beyond. Just a few steps down, the walk out lower level with a half bath creates another comfortable living space and connects easily to the outdoors. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms make up the main sleeping level, with a few more steps leading to a spacious fourth bedroom and convenient attic storage. Cornell Road is delightfully tucked away beneath a canopy of mature trees, yet you’re remarkably well-connected to everything. Suburban Square and the shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences of Ardmore are just minutes away, with parks, recreation and all that Lower Merion has to offer close at hand. Easy access to major roadways makes Center City Philadelphia, the Main Line and destinations throughout the region wonderfully convenient. 124 Cornell Road isn’t about inheriting someone else’s renovation or someone else’s choices. It’s about a special setting, a sturdy and substantial home, sprawling green space and the increasingly rare opportunity to create something that feels entirely, wonderfully yours in one of the best neighborhoods in the country.
