    Overview

    Fully Reimagined Cape Cod in Haverford — Prime Walkable Location with Exceptional Family Living Located on a quiet, low-traffic street in the heart of Haverford, this home offers an unbeatable lifestyle—where kids can safely walk to school just two blocks away with crossing guards along the route, a preschool is right on the same block, and Havertown’s main shops, cafés, and conveniences are just a 3-minute walk away. Step into a home that has been completely transformed for modern living while honoring its original character. This beautifully reimagined 1920 Cape Cod was taken down to the studs and fully renovated in 2020, creating a rare blend of timeless architecture and contemporary design. From the moment you enter, you’ll notice the open, airy layout achieved by removing original plaster walls and thoughtfully opening the living spaces. Architectural columns were preserved to maintain the home’s charm while seamlessly introducing a clean, modern flow ideal for today’s lifestyle. The kitchen was relocated to the front of the home, creating a bright and welcoming centerpiece while opening up additional space now used as a cozy TV room and kids’ play area—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A standout feature is the thoughtfully designed addition to the front and side of the home, currently used as a flexible study and learning space. This area includes a unique double entrance, offering both a convenient everyday entry and added functionality. Upstairs, the private primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with its own full bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet—flexible enough to serve as a nursery, reading nook, or home office. The partially finished basement adds even more usable space, with a dedicated laundry room and a separate mechanical area housing the A/C system, heating system, sump pump, and French drain—offering both practicality and peace of mind. Private Garden Oasis with Year-Round Beauty Outdoor living is truly turnkey and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and enjoyment. The property sits on a generous double lot, offering expansive green space alongside beautifully curated landscaping. The west-facing garden is a true highlight for gardening enthusiasts, showcasing a stunning collection of perennials that bloom in succession from early spring through late fall, while maintaining evergreen beauty throughout the winter. The landscape comes alive with a rich variety of plantings, including roses, peonies, gladiolus, lilies of the valley, large stargazer lilies, iris, begonias, hyacinths, daffodils, magenta Japanese hibiscus, hydrangeas, and dwarf red dogwood—creating a vibrant and ever-changing display of color and texture across the seasons. This outdoor oasis also features: 280 sq ft deck Finished patio ideal for entertaining Cedar tree borders providing natural privacy Dedicated vegetable garden Open green space perfect for play, gatherings, or quiet retreat Additional upgrades include: Fully remodeled bathrooms (2 full, 1 half) Custom-built closets throughout Dual-zone central A/C (separate systems for each floor) New siding and driveway (2026) With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,736 sq ft of living space, and sitting on an 8,276 sq ft lot, this move-in-ready home offers space, flexibility, and thoughtful design in one of Haverford’s most desirable areas.

    What the owner loves about this home
    What makes this home truly special for us is the lifestyle it offers every day. We are on a quiet, low-traffic street where safety was never a concern, and our kids have been able to enjoy real independence. There is a preschool right on the block, and the elementary school is just two blocks away—our kids walk there on their own with crossing guards along the way, which has been incredibly meaningful for our family. We also love how walkable everything is. Just two blocks away, you’ll find Havertown’s main shops, making it easy to grab coffee, run errands, or enjoy the neighborhood without getting in the car. The double lot size gives this home something that’s hard to find in this area—space. The backyard has been a place where kids can run, play, and grow, while also being a peaceful retreat for adults to relax, garden, and entertain. This home has been more than just a place to live—it’s where we built routines, memories, and a true sense of community.
