231 N Essex Avenue represents a unique opportunity to own a totally renovated 5 bedroom, 3 ½ bathroom home on a beautiful, private corner lot only one block from the heart of Narberth. Upon entering, you will immediately notice the beautiful hardwood floors spanning all three floors, the high ceilings, and the wide hallways. The lovely kitchen features white Kraftmaid cabinets, stone countertops, a center island, a large farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens to a large breakfast/dining room, living room, and a mudroom. A powder room completes the first floor. The second floor includes the en-suite master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a bathroom with a double-bowl vanity, and an entrance to the second-floor balcony. There are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor, providing maximum flexibility. The finished lower-level space includes a fireplace and would serve well as a playroom or in-home office. It also has a laundry room and extensive shelved storage. New period-correct solid-core doors, hinges, and knobs replaced the originals throughout. All closets have built-ins, and 90% of the windows were replaced with new double-pane, double-hung custom windows trimmed with lovely, matching period- correct millwork throughout the home. The renovation included complete structural, plumbing, and electrical rebuilds, new two-zone central air/heat, new siding and weatherproofing for the house and garage, and repointed stonework on the house and the front wall. The exterior of this single-family residence is equally appealing. Step outside to enjoy the welcoming covered front porch, complete with a porch swing, or the rear deck with a pergola and a lovely, private fenced-in backyard with terraced gardens. Whether you prefer unwinding on the front porch or spending quiet afternoons on the rear deck and patio, these outdoor spaces provide wonderful options for enjoying outdoor living. A two-car detached garage features electric openers and built-in shelved storage. With 2,422 square feet, 231 N Essex Ave stands out as a remarkable offering in the walkable Borough of Narberth. Schedule your private tour today to explore everything this beautiful, fully renovated single-family home has to offer!
