Colonial, Manor

Located in a quiet area between Cornell Drive and Robinhood Road in the heart of Bryn Mawr, this impressive elegant home meets all the family comforts. It is an impeccably-designed, custom 5 bedroom, 4.3 bath estate manor home conceived by Michael Visich architects. Every inch of the special gem reflects quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, from its striking maintenance-free exterior to its generous, finely-finished interiors. Enjoy a beautiful setting in a private, quiet neighborhood, on peaceful lush grounds enveloped by mature trees. The large backyard is very serene, with a view of the stream and hills where the kids can play and explore. Among the high-end upgrades is an expanded driveway, a whole-house generator, steam humidifier, alarm system, top-grade mechanicals, lovely custom millwork, plus a gas fire-pit and 8-person built-in stone hot tub for the ultimate outdoor relaxation! The classic center hall layout presents a light-bathed living room enriched by oak wood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. The seamless flow for entertaining continues across the foyer in the formal dining room with tasteful wainscoting, perfect for family dinners and holidays. A well-equipped butlers pantry with a wet bar and wine cellar enables easy serving and connects to the stunning gourmet kitchen, tailored to the chef. This heart of the home is appointed with Goebel cabinetry, soapstone countertops & island, and premium stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero fridge. Have coffee and a snack in the sunny vaulted breakfast room overlooking the picturesque grounds, or step out glass doors to enjoy alfresco dining, BBQs, relaxing in the hot tub, or gathering around the fire-pit on the rear covered flagstone patio. Also by the kitchen is an inviting family room with a wall of windows and gas fireplace. Rounding out the main level are 2 powder rooms, and a convenient mudroom accessing the 3-car attached garage. Retreat to the sleeping quarters where everyone has their own private place to land. The spacious primary bedroom suite calls you to unwind, featuring a tray ceiling, his & her walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa-like bath with sunken tub for freshening up. Four additional bedrooms (2 with en-suite baths), a full hall bath, laundry room, and sitting/computer area are also found on level 2. Lots of fun can be had on the finished day-lit lower level presenting a big carpeted recreation/family/media room, exercise room, separate office, powder room and lots of storage. Adding to the appeal is whole-house audio, 4-zone HVAC, and a water pressure backup sump pump. Even better is the location, close to restaurants, shopping, the train, top schools, and Center City.
