From the Agent:
Showings begin 3/3 but you can schedule today! Located in the award-winning Lower Merion School District, zoned to Merion Elem, Bala Cynwyd Middle & choice of Lower Merion HS or Harriton HS, this lovely home is situated on a beautiful, tree-lined street with an easy 2 BLOCK walk to the Septa Merion Station offering a short ride to Center City or other suburbs. 779 Beacom Lane offers all the Main line charm & appeal with tall ceiling height on all 4 floors, an abundance of windows & grand but elegant rooms plus it offers a fully remodeled kitchen as well as 3 and ½ fully remodeled bathrooms. But, that’s not all! This home also has a less than 2 year old roof/gutters/downspouts AND newer double-paned, energy efficient replacement windows throughout except where the windows were architecturally significant! Top that off with top of the line mechanicals that have a long life expectancy ahead of them for years of peace of mind! Enter this home through the sun drenched family room that is both heated & air conditioned making it fully functional in all four seasons. This warm & pleasant family room is large enough for multiple seating options. You can easily envision spending many days in this cozy room relaxing together, reading a book or watching the snow fall. Once inside you will immediately be impressed. Not your traditional center hall colonial as the stairs are nicely tucked to the left, allowing you to have a bird’s eye view of the heart of the home from the moment you enter. Off to the right, the formal living room is elegant yet cozy with its handsome pillars & delightful gas fireplace with stone surround that serves as a centerpiece to the room. Off to the left is a grand dining room, perfect for large dinner parties or the every day meal. From the dining room or through the large hallway currently serving as a butler’s pantry, you have access to the gorgeous kitchen that was thoughtfully remodeled to be functional yet in keeping with the architecture of this home. This lovely kitchen offers radiant heated flooring, plenty of clean white cabinets w/ marble tops, stainless appliances & counter seating for 4. Off the kitchen is a powder room & mud room area (also w/ radiant heated flooring) that leads out to the rear yard. Out back find a large deck, patio & yard that blends the perfect amount of grass & delightfully planted beds displaying a variety of color & beauty throughout the spring, summer & fall months. Should more grassy area be of interest, the plantings in the beds could be relocated elsewhere & new grass could instead be added. Also out back is the practically brand new TWO car garage, also with a 2 year old roof etc! Back inside, completing this 1st floor is a large hall closet, deep enough for far more than coats. Upstairs on the second floor you will find a delightful primary suite with a truly stunning en suite bathroom that is unusually large enough for TWO sinks, a large walk-in floor to ceiling tiled shower & a linen closet. Also on this floor are 3 more nicely sized bedrooms, one of these is being used as a TV/second family room. 2 of these 3 bedrooms share a hallway leading to the 2nd full bath in the home. Should you wish, a doorway could easily be added to access this shared hallway & hall bath. Completing this floor is a linen closet. Upstairs, the 3rd floor offers the same gracious ceiling height & 2 additional bedrooms, one of which is the full width of the home & could also be used as the primary suite. Completing this floor is a laundry rm w/ its own closet & plenty of space for folding. Lastly on this floor is a very large hall closet. Downstairs, the basement is unfinished but is dry & offers tall ceilings so it could easily be finished to add more living space. The basement can be exited through the inside or through a new steel door. Note, past appraisals calculated the sft as 3,896, not including basement which could add 1000 sft!
