Listing description

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac behind lush, professionally landscaped gardens in one of Bala Cynwyd's most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully updated five-bedroom residence seamlessly blends timeless architecture with thoughtfully renovated living spaces and exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining. Located within the award-winning Lower Merion School District and just moments from the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, regional rail, parks, shopping, dining, and Center City Philadelphia, the home offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and everyday luxury. A charming front entry welcomes you into a gracious center hall that immediately showcases the home's classic layout. Straight ahead, the formal living room is anchored by a handsome wood-burning fireplace and framed by rich hardwood floors, elegant millwork, and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. To the right, the expansive family room features soaring vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and direct access to the rear patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. To the left of the foyer, the formal dining room offers an inviting setting for both everyday meals and special occasions and is conveniently complemented by a nearby powder room. Beyond the dining room, the eat-in kitchen delivers crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, sleek soap stone counters, abundant workspace, a breakfast area, and a secondary staircase providing convenient access to the upper level. The second floor hosts three bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a wall of closets and a beautifully updated en-suite marble bath featuring an oversized glass shower with dual shower heads, pebble-stone floor, and rich double-sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms on the third floor share a well-appointed full bathroom with dual shower heads, creating an ideal space for guests, home offices, or flexible living arrangements. The outdoor living spaces are where this home truly distinguishes itself. Designed as a natural extension of the interior, the private backyard is perfectly suited for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Gather around the impressive outdoor kitchen and bar, and built in professional grade grill with a natural gas hookup, host dinners on the expansive patio, unwind beneath the custom pergola in the luxurious hot tub, watch the game on the outdoor television, or simply relax while children and pets enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard surrounded by mature trees, and customized exterior lighting controlled by an app with hundreds of custom light color options. Despite its incredibly convenient location, the property offers a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquility that's increasingly difficult to find. An unfinished basement offers abundant storage and exciting potential for future finished living space, while the detached one-car garage and backyard shed provide additional parking and storage for daily convenience. Presenting five bedrooms, beautifully updated interiors, outstanding outdoor entertaining spaces, and an exceptional Main Line location, 31 Snowden Road is more than a beautiful home; it's a place where everyday living feels like a retreat.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($253,330, 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 2025 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.
