    What's special

    253 Forrest Road is an incredible find! This 5 bedroom home boasts a spectacular, newly renovated (2019) master suite with a (previously 6th) bedroom converted to a massive closet, a master bathroom with heated tile floors and x-large tub, and lovely master bedroom with new built-in windowseat/bookshelf. There is a full bathroom and four additional bedrooms on the second floor for any combination of home office, guest room, kids' rooms, or family den. The largest of these rooms has recently had custom closets installed. The first floor has a large foyer, living room with working wood-burning fireplace, powder room, butler's pantry, sizable dining room, and newly renovated (2023) kitchen and laundry/mudroom with new countertops, floor, paint, and appliances. The basement was recently finished with kids in mind with lots of space to play and hang out (additional 400ish unlisted sq ft). The entire interior was painted in 2019 and all hardwood floors refinished, all carpet removed. Very extensive landscaping has leveled the back and side yards. Established gardens surround the home. There is a great front porch for porch picnics or saying hello to neighbors and dogs and a back brick patio for entertaining. There is a detatched garage for wrenching on your car and a sizable shed for storing your lawnmower and plant pots. The roof was replaced in 2022. Walking through the neighborhood you'll find the Merion Tribute House (a fabulous place for learning how to ride a bike or just exploring the grounds), two fabulous parks - Shortridge Park and Merion Botanical Park, a train station 2 stops from 30th Street, award-winning Merion Elementary School, an excellent stomping puddle, post office, and a short walk into downtown Narberth. The neighbors are top notch as well!
