489 Marlbridge Road

Set against a wooded backdrop in Bryn Mawrs Beaupre neighborhood, 489 Marlbridge Road is a classic center-hall Colonial with well-proportioned rooms, three levels of living space, a beautiful private lot with wonderful outdoor entertaining and play space and many recent upgrades throughout the home. Double entry door beneath the covered front porch opens to a large foyer with a turned staircase. The living room features hardwood floors, chair rail, and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround. Across the hall, an antique brass chandelier and wall sconces lend warmth to the dining room, where a glass door opens to the kitchen. Updated kitchen offers wood cabinetry, granite countertops, center island, and breakfast area overlooking the private rear yard and patio. The family room has a character all its own. Exposed beams draw the eye up to the vaulted ceiling, and wood paneling and built-in cabinetry complement a brick fireplace with a slate hearth. A powder room with a copper sink and a mudroom with laundry, a utility sink, and access to the patio complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and a private bath with a glass-enclosed shower and separate whirlpool tub. Three additional bedrooms have generous closets and share a full updated hall bath with a stall shower. The second floor has new carpeting, a hall linen closet, and access to the attic. The finished lower level adds a recreation area, space for workouts, and a separate bonus room suited for a home office, along with substantial storage and direct access to the attached two-car garage. The rear garden is one of the homes most memorable features. The flagstone patio has room for outdoor dining, and leads to the screened gazebo, a quiet place to sit at the edge of the woods. Recent updates also include a newer roof and HVAC system. This home is ready for your personal touch!
