Description

Situated in one of the Main Line’s most walkable neighborhoods, this beautifully maintained colonial offers exceptional curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and a true sense of community. Just a short stroll to the Strafford train station, the home is part of a vibrant enclave known for its 4th of July parades, school’s-out celebrations, and active residents’ association. Everyday conveniences and beloved Main Line destinations—Whole Foods, the new Berwyn Trader Joe’s, Strafford Farmers Market, Devon Horse Show, Terrain, and Anthropologie—are all close at hand. 28 Homestead makes a memorable first impression with its professionally landscaped gardens, Belgian block-lined driveway, and curving bluestone walkway. Side-by-side parking for two cars adds everyday ease. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light, while the fully fenced backyard offers privacy, mature plantings, and a wisteria-covered arbor providing natural beauty and shade. A sunny deck extends the living space outdoors, and the property offers room for an addition—many neighbors with this same style home have expanded, further enhancing its long-term potential. Inside, the main level features a welcoming living room with fireplace, a formal dining room, a thoughtfully renovated kitchen, and a bonus family room/den. The kitchen blends timeless design with modern function, offering Kountry Craft cabinetry, Silestone counters, cream subway tile backsplash, shelving with plate grooves, beadboard detailing, and a bar-height counter with additional storage. High-end appliances include a GE Café dual oven gas range, Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid French door refrigerator, and Grohe faucet, all complemented by dimmable overhead and under-cabinet lighting. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a generous primary suite with its own bath, alongside a full hall bath with Grohe/Moen fixtures and Speakman shower heads. The finished, walk-out lower level adds approximately 360 square feet of flexible living space, along with storage rooms and a laundry closet. Mechanical and structural updates provide peace of mind: roof (2021, under warranty), hot water heater (2025), CertainTeed tilt-in windows, siding and insulation, HVAC with new chimney liner (2017, serviced biannually), radon system (2022), French drain and sump pump, surge-protected electrical panel, and biannual gutter cleaning. Additional features include a shed with loft storage and workbench (2019), motion-sensor backyard lighting. Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, 28 Homestead offers warmth, flexibility, and the best of Wayne living—ready to welcome its next chapter.
