109 Surrey Rd, Melrose Park, PA 19027

Some houses just have soul. You feel it the moment you step onto the wide front porch—like this place has stories to tell, but still plenty of room for yours. Built in 1917, 109 Surrey Road is a large Craftsman house, full of timeless details that give it both warmth and presence. With over 4300 square feet of living space, it offers the character of a historic home with the scale and flexibility today’s lifestyle demands. Wide hallways connect the main spaces, original wood trim wraps each doorway, Mercer tile frames the fireplaces, and rich flat-panel wainscoting and coffered ceilings elevate the space without ever feeling too formal. The rooms are grand but grounded—like the 23 x 15.5-foot living room, perfect for quiet reading, hosting a friend, or entertaining a crowd. Pocket doors connect you to a comfortable family room ideal for movie nights, and just beyond that, a sun-soaked office with tall windows creates a peaceful spot to work or hide away. Dinner parties feel right at home in the elegant dining room—nearly 20 feet long, with French doors and two built-in china cabinets ready to showcase your glassware. Off the dining room, there’s an enclosed front porch that faces east—flooded with morning light and perfect for coffee, Wordle, and petting your pup before starting the day. The kitchen is spacious and bright, with Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook for casual meals. Just around the corner, a hidden laundry room keeps things practical, while a surprise bar room sets the stage for your next cocktail night. Don’t miss the unexpectedly spacious powder room—complete with eye-catching original tile work that adds a little wow factor where you least expect it. This home offers the convenience of first-floor living with two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom all on the main level. Upstairs, the large, sun-filled primary suite is a true retreat. The bedroom alone is approximately 25 x 23 feet, with two large closets and a bonus room that can be anything you need—home gym, office, nursery, or walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom adds a modern touch with a shower stall, tub, updated vanity, and new flooring. A second upstairs bedroom has its own full bath as well. The unfinished basement offers plenty of storage or room to expand in the future. Outside, the backyard feels like a blank canvas—ready for soccer games, summer dinners, or a hammock under the mature trees. The detached garage adds flexibility, and being on a corner lot gives the whole property a sense of breathing room. When it’s time to step out, you’re about half a mile from the Melrose Park train station, with direct service to Center City and the airport. Parks, coffee shops, and local restaurants are all nearby. It’s walkable and connected, yet scenic and quiet enough to recognize you’ve found someplace special. This isn’t just a house—it’s a rarely found, spacious bungalow with presence, heart, and a front porch that’s been waiting for you.
