Ladies and gentlemen, get your mortgage financing lined up now if living in one of the Main Line’s loveliest residential communities is on your wish list, for it’s a good bet that by the time you read this, this fairly roomy, very sunny, up-to-date condominium in Penn Valley will have gotten multiple offers for its owner, who is handling its sale directly.
But just in case we’re wrong about that, we’re showing it to you anyway.
This condo unit occupies a sun-filled corner location in its building and features an open plan main living space. The unit’s two bedrooms, either of which can function as a master suite, are on either side of the central living area, which has a powder room of its own off the foyer.
The living and dining rooms form a single unified space with parquet flooring and crown moldings, the latter a rare design feature in midcentury buildings. Off the dining room is a recently renovated kitchen done in a sunny greenish-yellow paint scheme with a honey wood floor, granite countertop, gray subway tile backsplash and the latest appliances.
Each of the bedrooms also have crown moldings and parquet floors as well as walk-in closets leading to en suite bathrooms.
Among the amenities that come with this condo are 24-hour doorman service, an Olympic-sized pool with barbecue area, a fitness center, tennis courts, a playground and parking. For more intimate outdoor entertaining and relaxation, the unit has its own balcony that’s perfect for small planters or a small grill.
It’s also convenient to parks, recreation and transportation: Rolling Hill Park and the historic Bridlewild hiking trails are out back, and two SEPTA bus routes stop at your front door.
Now for the best part about this property:
THE FINE PRINT
BEDS: 2
BATHS: 2 full, 1 half
SQUARE FEET: 1,318
SALE PRICE: $248,999
OTHER STUFF: If you’d rather not pay for garage space, the unit comes with two surface lot parking spaces. If you like the furniture, make the owner an offer, as it’s also available for sale. Zillow classes this as a “Make Me Move” price, and we agree.
