Welcome to 56 Tunbridge Road, a timeless 1930s English Tudor located in one of the Main Line’s most coveted neighborhoods. Over the past 14 years, the home has been meticulously maintained and improved, following a significant renovation designed by Peter Zimmerman Architects 2004–2005. The result is a charming, & sunny home that has, and will stand the test of time. Upon arrival, two recent upgrades are immediately evident: the new cedar shake roof (2025) and Pella Architectural Windows (2014). A pillared entrance leads to this impeccable 5 bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath home with an expansive terrace overlooking the one acre level lawn. Inside is a bright, 3 story center hall colonial with wonderful circulation for entertaining. Many rooms feature Tudor inspired details, hardwood floors, classic millwork, custom built ins, and arched doorways. The first floor includes a foyer opening to the living and dining rooms, all with ornate plaster crown molding & hardwood floors. Off the living room—featuring a fireplace and French doors to the terrace—is a library with hand rubbed cherry paneling & a Mercer tile fireplace. A sunroom with terrace access sits beyond. The dining room offers a bay window, custom wainscoting, & access to the butler’s pantry/bar. A lighted gallery with limestone floors & three sets of steel French doors leads to the kitchen, powder room, mudroom/family entrance from the garage, & potting room. The kitchen includes custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, a large natural oak storage cabinet, large island with refrigerated drawers, Wolf 6 burner cooktop with pasta arm, Wolf double ovens & warming drawer, Bosch dishwasher, Sub Zero refrigerator, & two additional sets of steel French doors to the terrace. Adjacent are the mudroom with home office workspace, coat closet, & potting room with flagstone floor & double sink. A secondary staircase connects to the second floor. The butler’s pantry includes a Sub Zero wine cooler, Uline beverage refrigerator, and access to the full unfinished basement. The second floor includes the primary suite with large bedroom, dressing room with 3 walk-in closets, spacious bath with double vanity, whirlpool tub, shower, water closet, & a separate sitting room. Four additional bedrooms include two with ensuite baths & two sharing a hall bath. The laundry room is also on this level. The finished third floor offers flexible space for an office, studio, playroom, or gym, along with custom cabinetry & a large walk-in cedar closet. The full basement remains unfinished & includes a half bath and Bilco doors to the backyard. Additional recent improvements include: refreshed kitchen and powder room, newer HVAC systems; boilers (2013 & 2025) for steam, hot water & radiant heat, central air (2022), new gas and water lines, and a Generac whole house generator (2018). This remarkable property offers a rare combination of architectural character, modern updates, and premier Main Line access. Morning walks wind along quiet, tree lined roads past two of the region’s most storied landscapes: Merion Golf Club - host to many USGA Championships including the 126th U.S. Amateur this August & Haverford College’s Nature Trail, home to one of the nation’s oldest planned collegiate landscapes. All of this, in addition to easy access to Haverford and Ardmore SEPTA/Amtrak stations, Suburban Square, top ranked schools, private clubs, and Philadelphia International Airport, confirm this home offers the most exceptional Main Line lifestyle.
