138 ROLLING ROAD

BALA CYNWYD, PA 19004

Beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom 1940s stone Colonial on a highly sought-after Bala Cynwyd cul-de-sac, this home blends classic neighborhood charm with a private yard, mature landscaping, and direct access to the Cynwyd Trail—offering both a vibrant community and peaceful privacy. Set on an oversized .37-acre lot with a picturesque stream and lush, established plantings, the home feels like a tranquil retreat while still being just minutes from Center City Philadelphia. A private driveway crosses the stream and leads to a timeless center hall Colonial with a stone and wood siding exterior, original hardwood floors throughout, and excellent flow across the main living spaces. The layout is highly functional and livable, with open sightlines and great connectivity across the first floor. The living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, is a favorite spot for reading or playing piano, while the adjacent family room is perfect for game nights and movie watching. The dining room and kitchen offer generous space for family meals and entertaining, and a covered side porch opens to the backyard—ideal for outdoor dining, grilling, or evenings around a fire pit. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer exceptional closet space, along with two full bathrooms and a walk-up attic with expansion potential. A first-floor powder room and laundry add convenience, while the basement is clean, dry, and unfinished with an outside exit—perfect for storage or future finishing. This rare property is one of only about 20 homes with private gated access to the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, creating a unique lifestyle opportunity. Walk to the Bala Cynwyd Playground, sports fields, tennis courts, and the Cynwyd Club, a private swim, squash, and tennis club. Cynwyd Elementary and Bala Cynwyd Middle School—both part of the award-winning Lower Merion School District—are an easy walk away, with sidewalks and crossing guards for added safety. The SEPTA Cynwyd Station is also within walking distance, providing quick access to Center City for work, dining, arts, and entertainment. Manayunk is just a short bike ride away via the trail. Additional highlights include central air, a wood-burning fireplace, a newer roof installed in 2019 with architectural shingles, a radon mitigation system, a Tesla Level 2 EV charger, a subpanel with manual transfer switch for a generator, and a full basement waterproofing system with French drain and sump pumps. Freshly painted wood siding and trim complete the classic curb appeal. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this home represents a rare opportunity to enjoy the walkability, natural beauty, and timeless character that define the best of Bala Cynwyd living.
