Listing description

Built in 1900, this classic Bala Cynwyd Colonial blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both welcoming and comfortable. From the moment you enter the foyer, you'll notice a natural flow that’s just right. The expansive living room serves as the heart of the main level, anchored by a gas fireplace and a large bow window that floods the space with light. Through a set of French doors, you’ll find a sun-drenched den wrapped in windows that fill the space with natural light and is the perfect spot to unwind, watch TV, or enjoy a quiet evening at home. Across the hall, the formal dining room is ready for holiday gatherings, complete with elegant crown molding and another beautiful bow window.  The kitchen is a clever blend of old and new, featuring granite countertops and modern appliances alongside a charming butler’s style pantry section that pays homage to the home’s history. Just a step down, the breakfast room offers built-in window seating and views of the backyard. If you love the outdoors, you’ll gravitate toward the screened-in porch with its skylights, or step outside to the stone patio for summer grilling. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and an updated bathroom with a frameless shower and rain shower head. Two additional spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors share a well-appointed hall bath that conveniently houses a stackable laundry setup. The third floor offers a private fourth bedroom and plenty of accessible attic storage, while the unfinished basement provides even more space for gear and hobbies. Outside, the property includes a long private driveway leading to a two-car detached garage. With a generator hook-up already in place and nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, this home is as practical as it is beautiful.  Ideally located, walk to Cynwyd Elementary,  Bala Cynwyd Middle School, easy access to Cynwyd Heritage Trail, center city, dining, shopping, public transportation

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $235,730, well below the ~$382,930 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 $6,067/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($235,730, 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.
