Welcome to 544 Avonwood Road in the prestigious Northside Haverford neighborhood. Crafted in 1953 by the esteemed architect Roland T. Addis, this early Virginia Colonial home is a testament to classic charm and impeccable craftsmanship. 544 Avonwood Road presents an antique reproduction of Colonial Williamsburg mid-century residences. As you approach the brick exterior, a sense of history and character envelopes you, setting the tone for what lies within.

Central air, a security system, and refined wood details throughout further enhance the home's allure, promising a lifestyle of comfort and sophistication. Outside, the enchantment continues as the seasons unfold. From the delicate blooms of witch hazel in late January to the vibrant rhododendron in early March, the landscape transforms with each passing month. Explore the meticulously designed yard, where four distinct sections offer their own unique allure, from the captivating dogwood forest below to the native flora bordering the upper side. Well maintained and perfectly situated for a quick commute to the city and airport, and surrounded by highways, shopping centers, and parks, this residence offers not just a home, but a sanctuary where the beauty of nature intertwines with the timeless elegance of the architecture.
