Description

What’s better than one amazing home in the Lower Merion School District? Two for the price of one!

From the outside, the home presents modestly—but step inside and it unfolds in a way that is completely unexpected. Thoughtfully designed for today’s evolving lifestyles, this residence lives as two distinct homes under one roof—connected, yet fully capable of functioning independently.

Tucked along a quiet, private stretch in the heart of Bryn Mawr, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a truly rare approach to modern living. Set on San Marino, a non cut-through street with a genuine neighborhood feel, the property blends privacy, convenience, and an incredibly versatile layout that is nearly impossible to find.

Each side offers its own sense of space, comfort, and autonomy, **with both residences featuring true first-floor living, including bedrooms and full bathrooms on the main level**—an increasingly rare and valuable feature ideal for multigenerational households, long-term flexibility, or aging in place.

The front residence features three bedrooms and two full baths, anchored by a beautifully updated kitchen completed in 2023. Defined yet flowing living and dining spaces create a natural rhythm for both everyday living and entertaining.

Through a connecting door, the rear residence lives as its own private retreat. Offering two bedrooms, including a primary suite, along with a full kitchen and living spaces, it mirrors the comfort and functionality of a standalone home—perfect for extended family, guests, or a separate household under the same roof.

Both residences offer their own basement areas, providing dedicated storage and flexibility. The rear home’s basement is particularly expansive, with high ceilings and the potential to be finished into a full family or recreation space—adding yet another dimension to how the home can be enjoyed.

Outside, the setting becomes something truly special. From the backyard, you’re greeted by the striking presence of Our Mother of Good Counsel Church—a beautiful architectural landmark that quietly enhances the everyday experience of living here. By day, it stands as a timeless and elegant backdrop. In the evening, it takes on a softer, almost storybook quality—aglow with light filtering through stained glass, with the gentle possibility of hearing the choir carry through the air.

The location is equally compelling. Just moments from Lancaster Avenue, you’re within walking distance to Bryn Mawr favorites including the train station, Acme, and The Bakery House, with easy access to Center City and the greater Main Line.

Situated within Lower Merion Township—one of the region’s most sought-after communities—this property represents a rare opportunity to own a home that adapts to the way people truly live today.

This is more than a home—it’s a solution. A place designed to evolve with you, offering flexibility, privacy, and connection all at once. You will not find another opportunity like this in the Lower Merion School District!
