Fully updated. Thoughtfully designed. Move-in ready. Welcome to 161 Rolling Road, a classic brick colonial nestled on a quiet loop in the heart of Bala Cynwyd that effortlessly blends timeless curb appeal with thoughtfully curated, designer-level updates. This home makes a statement from the moment you arrive. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot, it delivers charming curb appeal from the outside and a fully updated, move-in ready interior that will exceed every expectation.
Step inside and you will immediately feel the difference. This is not your average home. As you enter through the covered front entry, the open, flowing first floor has been thoughtfully reimagined. To the left, a spacious living room filled with natural light features a wood-burning fireplace and mantel flanked by wall sconces, creating the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, which sits just off the kitchen beneath a striking pendant fixture, bathed in natural light, with board and batten detail adding a polished, elevated touch.
At the heart of the home is a truly one-of-a-kind kitchen. White custom inset cabinetry with brass Rejuvenation hardware, quartz countertops, a stunning tile backsplash, Elkay farmhouse sink with bridge faucet, panel Thermador refrigerator, 24" Thermador MicroDrawer, 36" Thermador range with pot filler and custom hood, and a warm natural wood island come together to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. White oak hardwood floors run seamlessly from the kitchen through the dining area and into the living space, creating an effortless, connected feel throughout the main level.
The hallway, flanked by custom wainscoting and high-end lighting, leads to an updated powder room. A first-floor laundry room, a true rarity in homes of this style, has been fully transformed into a highly functional space complete with a farmhouse sink, beverage fridge, and custom cabinetry. It doubles as a mudroom entry from the attached garage and provides direct access to the backyard. Completing the first floor is a large, versatile bonus room, perfect as an office, playroom, family room, or whatever your lifestyle calls for.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a generous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and an updated en suite bathroom with a dual sink vanity and glass-enclosed stall shower. Two additional bedrooms are well-sized with ample closet space, and the hall bathroom has been fully refreshed as well.
The finished basement adds meaningful living space, featuring a true fourth bedroom with a large closet and a full bathroom, along with a family room area complete with a wet bar, custom cabinets, and wine fridge. A large unfinished storage area and a clean mechanical room complete the lower level.
Outside, a large paver patio off the back of the home offers a wonderful extension of the living space, tucked into a private, lushly landscaped setting, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding.
From the interior to the exterior, no detail has been overlooked. During their ownership, the current owners have thoughtfully updated every room, including a completely reimagined kitchen and bathrooms, an added bedroom and bathroom, fresh paint, new lighting, replacement interior doors throughout, and so much more. For a complete list of updates, see the attached improvements list.
