Welcome to Bryn Mawr, a Mainline suburb of Philadelphia. Relax with self check-in ✔ parking ✔ Netflix ✔ Prime ✔ 5G WiFi ✔ Office ✔ AC ✔ King beds ✔ balcony deck ✔ single home ✔ Enjoy strolling scenic colleges & parks. Walkable to hospital, trains & colleges, it's a 15-minute drive to huge King of Prussia mall & historic Valley Forge National Park. Hop on a 20-min train ride to the city of Philadelphia. Our home is near the heart of town with the quiet appeal of a yard in the suburbs. See more! Catering for groups of up to 10 adults, our 4-floor private house has 3 king beds and 2 large sofa beds. The basement (other than the laundry room accessed from the backyard doors) is off limits to guests, but you can enjoy a long private driveway (hard to come by in the town) for up to four regular cars and a child-friendly gated front and backyard which occasionally hosts a bunny rabbit guest or two. Amazon, Netflix, YouTube and a host of other apps are available on our HD TVs with superfast 5G internet. Enjoy TVs both in the living room and in the bedrooms! Kitchen, mud room, dining room, washer and dryer, outdoor second floor balcony deck, walk-in wardrobe, loft office, mini-split AC units, 100% Egyptian cotton linens, large sofa beds in the living room, self check-in with keyless entry and redundancy plans so no need to worry about keys or checking in during the middle of the night. Tick! Entire space is included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home. You can access three floors of the house. The basement is locked, other than the laundry room accessed from the back yard basement shelter doors. You can access all of the exterior parts of the property. Both the front and back gardens are gated and the front lawn is maintained, with a patio. Enjoy the balcony on the second floor as well as the office on the third floor. I only host while I am away - usually attending an academic conference or visiting my family in Ireland, where I'm from. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival. My property has keyless entry, so you can show up at any time after check in without having to obtain keys. Renovated in Summer 2021, for those visiting Bryn Mawr Mainline Hospital, we are less than two blocks walk from the hospital entrance and car park and are along the same quiet street a few blocks away from the noisier main streets. Around the corner from us is the oldest house in Bryn Mawr (300 years) and the natural birth center. A basketball court and a playground with soft ground enclosed in cages and fences is less than 100 yards from us. A Ferrari dealership is only a few minutes walk past the playground. Wawa is open 24-hours a day and is only 5-minute walk around the nearby hospital. The supermarket, Acme, is only a two-minute drive from the house along Lancaster Avenue. Restaurants, coffee shops, takeaways, bars, shops, curiosity stores, luxury stores, dry cleaners, the center of town – all within a 2 to 5 minute walk through quiet pedestrian-friendly suburb streets to Lancaster Avenue. Being from Dublin, Ireland, I have to recommend the Grog as a good Irish restaurant / sports bar, only a few minutes walk from the house to Lancaster Avenue. For more refined dining and to really get the local, affluent Mainline feel, a stroll along Lancaster Avenue is a must. Small, old world shops abound. You can lose yourself in second hand luxury furniture stores, even on County Line Road too like The Thrift Store. The trains are a five-minute (NHSL light rail line) and half-mile (mainline’s Paoli-Thorndale SEPTA line) walk from the house. The surrounding properties are not approved for undergraduate student tenants, so our houses are quiet, but we are about 3/4 of a mile from Bryn Mawr College and a mile from both Haverford College and Villanova University. Bryn Mawr Mainline train station is half a mile from the house, and there is also a second commuter trainline (Norristown High Speed Line) - its stop in Bryn Mawr is a 5 minute walk from the house. You will find multiple parks in almost every direction you walk, public areas for playing sports and playgrounds for children. A secret gem (my personal favorite) is Preston Park, which boasts soccer fields, a tennis court, basketball courts along with a calisthenics park. While I could recommend the local parks like Austin, Rosemont, and Stoneleigh, the scenery pales in comparison to the nearby universities like Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Rosemont and Villanova, which are within walking distance. Other universities are slightly further away such as Eastern and Cabrini (3 miles). You can easily walk within five minutes to local trains (SEPTA / Regional / NHSL) that bring you to Philadelphia (10 miles) in about 20 minutes. Many buses come through and you can hail an Uber in minutes as it's a well traveled college and commuter district. We are within two or three miles of the intersections of multiple major highways. Please remember that you're staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living on site when I am away traveling.
