Colonial

The epitome of elegance & family living, in the heart of Bryn Mawr. Breathtaking, this exquisitely-detailed 6 BR 6.5 bath Center Hall brick Colonial sits on pristine property near shops, restaurants, the train & transportation. The sought-after family-friendly neighborhood is well established with long-time residents. A handsome brick wall with piers framing the entry sets a sophisticated tone & gives way to a Belgian block-lined drive. Two curb cut entrances on Fishers & Shipton ease accessibility. A flagstone walk leads to the family & main entrances of this tastefully painted brick estate that welcomes large crowds! Whether you have a big family, love entertaining or hosting your friends, this inviting home accommodates all. The parklike exterior presents stone walls installed by notable architect Ann Walters that define & beautify the seating areas in the rear grounds. The expansive interior was thoughtfully reconfigured by respected architect Pete Batchelor who opened the space to create a seamless flow. This included expanding the kitchen into the breakfast room, now a favorite gathering place for the cook & family. Meals are inspired in this ultimate chef's setting graced by Brookhaven cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances & a center dining island. There's no better place for morning fare than the coffered ceiling breakfast room with French doors to the rear flagstone terrace.
