The home features a large well-conceived front porch/office, handsome kitchen and baths, as well as innovative lighting throughout.

This home has a handsomely styled interior and open-floor plan that is worth checking out for both interested and casual lookers.

This row home is on a narrow no-outlet street that runs parallel to Lancaster Ave., just behind the former showroom of Medley Music.

6 Snowden Rd. in BC
*6 Snowden Rd. in Bala Cynwyd is a classic colonial highlighted by finely designed, updated kitchen and a lovely patio off the living room.
