About this home
A rare offering in the heart of Bala Cynwyd, where 1930 stone colonial craftsmanship meets a
beautifully curated modern interior on one of the neighborhood's most coveted corner lots. Set behind
stately rod iron fencing, this magnificent residence offers historic character, flexible modern living,
and an address in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. Pass through the iron gate and
follow the walkway to one of the most memorable front doors in the neighborhood. Step into a
welcoming foyer where the home's exceptional layout immediately reveals itself. To the left, a gracious
formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace flows into a sun-drenched home office and
study addition, wrapped in two walls of oversized windows that pour in natural light, ideal for today's
work-from-home lifestyle. To the right, a formal dining room impresses with built-in cabinetry,
generous window sills, and a stunning chandelier casting the room in warm, elegant light. Step
through the swing door into the heart of the home: a large eat-in kitchen refreshed for 2026 with
Calacatta Miraggio Gold quartz countertops, crisp white tile backsplash, new cooktop, and an
undermount sink framed by a picture window overlooking the front yard. The open-concept flow
continues into a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, a second fireplace, and flanking built-ins
that deliver both grandeur and everyday function. French doors open to a private side patio wrapped in
a stunning stone surround, a true outdoor space perfect for al fresco entertaining. A large laundry
room and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the center staircase leads to an ideal
bedroom layout. The primary suite offers a generous closet and a spa-inspired ensuite, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional large bedrooms share a well-appointed hall
bathroom, each offering scale and proportion rarely found in newer construction. A secondary
staircase leads to the finished attic, a versatile flex space functioning beautifully as a fifth bedroom,
playroom, or studio, with an additional bathroom and closet. The finished basement provides space for
a media room, home gym, or recreation area, connecting directly to the attached garage with EV
charger. A French drain system and abundant storage make this lower level as practical as it is livable.
Freshly painted throughout, new light fixtures, and updated in all the right places while honoring the
soul of its 1930 origins, 86 E Princeton Road is Bala Cynwyd Main Line living at its finest. Walk to shops,
restaurants, and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail....
