163 Vassar Rd

Wonderful, updated College Park center hall Colonial. As you approach the property, you’ll notice extensive perennial plantings providing seasonal color and interest, which contribute generously to the curb appeal of this house. From the exterior, white-painted brick above a stone foundation and brand new windows set the tone for this well-kept house. Gleaming hardwood floors inside and crown molding throughout the first level add a touch of elegance. The living room runs the full depth of the house and boasts a wood-burning fireplace. Across the entry hall, which houses a powder room, you’ll find the dining area which has been opened up to the eat-in kitchen. This area features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances as well as plenty of cabinetry. Upstairs, you will be pleasantly surprised by the 3 generously-sized bedrooms, offering a variety of possible arrangements. The en-suite bathroom features an enormous walk-in shower for a spa-like retreat. A full hall bath with tub and shower and pull-down attic complete the second floor. The basement houses the laundry room, offers storage and a no-frills half bath, as well as access to the one-and-a-half car attached garage. Exiting from the kitchen door, you will discover a beautiful, private backyard oasis, with a large, paved patio shaded by an evergreen Southern Magnolia. Fully fenced, the lower part of the backyard is a sunny, grassy area, which is a great play space (for humans or dogs). The location of this property is one of its most appealing features. Commuting is a breeze due to quick access to the Expressway and three different SEPTA train lines. The well-established College Park neighborhood is a lovely community where neighbors catch up as they push strollers or walk their dogs. Just a few steps from the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, walkers or bikers can access the bridge to downtown Manayunk (with connection to the Schuylkill River Trail and extensive regional trails network), or head the other direction to the Bala Cynwyd Park, Cynwyd Station or enjoy riverfront dining at Pencoyd Bridge). Walkable to CVS and Wawa! Award winning Lower Merion Schools and phenomenal libraries, parks and pools, yet only a stone’s throw away from Wissahickon, Fairmont Park, Kelly Drive, and all the arts and culture the city has to offer. Enjoy the best of both worlds and come find out why this is one of Main Line’s best places to call home.
