138 Merion Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated historic Colonial in the heart of sought-after Narberth Borough. Originally constructed in 1917, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends timeless character with the functionality and finish level of modern construction. Thoughtfully restored from top to bottom, the home offers the feel of newer construction while preserving the warmth and charm that make Narberth homes so special.

A classic covered front porch creates welcoming and functional outdoor living space. Inside, newly installed hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a clean, updated palette set the tone. The main level offers seamless flow between the living and dining areas with a fully renovated kitchen featuring Century cabinetry, a Wolf gas range, GE appliances, and quartz countertops. A convenient first-floor powder room and laundry room complete this level.

One of the most significant enhancements to the property is the entirely new foundation and partially finished lower level, dramatically expanding the home’s usable living space. This new basement offers flexibility for a recreation room, gym, media room, playroom, or home office while providing the peace of mind that comes with major system upgrades. Additional improvements include a new electrical panel, updated plumbing, energy-efficient dual-zone HVAC, architectural shingle roof, James Hardie siding, updated stucco, and a new gas fireplace.

The second floor features three spacious bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom, completely rebuilt from down to the studs with all new plumbing, a brand new bathtub, tile flooring, vanity, fixtures, and finishes throughout. The third floor includes two additional spacious bedrooms and a second full bath with a walk-in shower.

Outside, refreshed landscaping, new walkways, and a rear patio provide functional outdoor space. The location is exceptional—just a 7-minute, 3½-block walk to the SEPTA train and an easy stroll to Narberth’s parks, library, and Borough Hall. Narberth favorites include local dining, coffee shops, and charming storefronts including Malooga, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, The Greeks, and The Great American Pub. Merion Elementary School is located just 2½ sidewalk-lined blocks away.

Fully renovated homes with this combination of character, infrastructure, and walkability are uncommon in Lower Merion School District. 138 Merion Avenue offers a turnkey opportunity combining historic charm with modern living in one of the Main Line’s most vibrant borough communities—just 17 minutes from downtown Philadelphia.

Move right into a home where the hard work is done and enjoy a neighborhood known for its block parties, July fireworks, Dickens Festival, and unforgettable Halloween celebrations.
