Property Description
Welcome to this historic Vernacular Georgian style home, built circa 1820, that was originally part of a 124 acre farm in Haverford Township. The first owner was Dennis Kelly, an early influential resident of Haverford Township after whom St. Denis Church was named. This charming home has been completely updated while still retaining its distinctive architectural details. This home is located in Merwood Park, one of Havertown’s most desirable neighborhoods, and is in close proximity to the township park, shops and restaurants of downtown Havertown and Ardmore.
