Colonial

The feeling of home sweet home beckons in this beautiful Center Hall Colonial on 1.2 lush acres of manicured grounds with large trees, lush lawn and an in-ground swimming pool with spa! Set way back from the road down a private tree-lined drive, 223 Buck Lane is a vision of elegant living in a prime Haverford locale. A wide circular drive receives your guests and family s cars, and is an inviting welcome to a wonderfully appointed, impeccably maintained home. An airy double-height reception hall awaits beyond the main front doors, showcasing classic elements like gleaming hardwood floors, tasteful moldings, wainscoting, and wide arched case openings to main rooms. A light-filled living room and formal tray ceilinged dining room enriched by custom millwork sit to the left and right. Connected to the dining room for easy serving is a butler s pantry and gorgeous granite and stainless-steel kitchen, with every amenity for the chef and a breakfast area for casual dining.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a soaring open family room with a gas fireplace, wet bar, built-in entertainment center, and double-tier windows inviting in beaming sunshine. Also on this level is a powder room and mudroom/laundry room accessing the attached 3-car garage. Ascend the main or rear stairs to an open catwalk that leads to the 4 spacious bedrooms (2 on either side) and 3 full baths that occupy the second level. The elegant master suite is a relaxing retreat with coffered ceilings, a separate vaulted sitting room/office, and big his/her walk-in closets.
