The exterior of this single-family residence is equally appealing. Step outside to enjoy the welcoming covered front porch, complete with a porch swing, or the rear deck with a pergola and a lovely, private fenced-in backyard with terraced gardens. Whether you prefer unwinding on the front porch or spending quiet afternoons on the rear deck and patio, these outdoor spaces provide wonderful options for enjoying outdoor living. A two-car detached garage features electric openers and built-in shelved storage. With 2,422 square feet, 231 N Essex Ave stands out as a remarkable offering in the walkable Borough of Narberth.
