Listed at $1,695,500, 673 Ardmore Avenue is a distinguished early 20th-century estate blending historic Main Line charm with modern amenities.

Built for Philadelphia Stock Exchange member John S. Arndt on land once owned by the J.B. Biddle estate, this .84-acre property has hosted some of Philadelphia’s most prominent families.

The home’s classic craftsmanship shines through original millwork, deep-silled windows, and three fireplaces—two with Mercer tiles—while thoughtful updates ensure comfort.

The main floor includes a grand reception foyer, two expansive living spaces, a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, and a powder room. Upstairs, five bedrooms, three baths, and a charming sleeping porch offer ample private space.

The unfinished third floor provides potential for a studio, great room, or guest suite.

Outside, landscaped grounds, a private brick patio, and proximity to Merion Golf Club, Suburban Square, and Haverford College trails add to the allure.
