Georgian, Colonial

Mere minutes from Center City, this gorgeously renovated, Georgian-style colonial is nestled in a Main Line enclave of stately homes with quiet, tree-lined streets. Over the last decade, the current owners have spent over $750,000 updating nearly every inch of the property while taking great care to preserve its historic character and charm. A flagstone circular driveway delivers you to a grand, columned front porch paved in Pennsylvania bluestone. Inside, a bright and airy foyer with custom moldings, hand-painted mural and hardwood floors sets the tone for the immaculate first floor. To the right is an elegant, light-filled dining room with wainscotting, built-in China cabinet and tasteful millwork. Just beyond sits a sprawling kitchen-family room with vaulted ceilings, radiant heat flooring, custom banquette and dreamy backyard views. The renovated eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream with its marble countertops; Sub-Zero® refrigerator; 48-inch Thermador® gas range with dual steam and convection ovens, warming drawer and custom hood; island seating; endless storage (including an appliance garage and coffee bar); wine fridge; and Fisher & Paykel® dishwasher drawers. The kitchen spills into a warm and welcoming family room with custom built-ins flanking a wood-burning fireplace. A California panoramic folding glass door offers easy access to a rear brick patio with plentiful dining and lounge space. A living room with marble-surround gas fireplace, a sunroom and a powder room with high-end fixtures complete this impeccable first floor. Take the beautifully preserved stairway to the second floor, where you’ll find a renovated primary suite that the owners ingeniously transformed to incorporate an impressive walk-in closet with marble-topped storage island and concealed laundry, plus a large ensuite full bath with radiant heat flooring and oversize marble shower with dual rain heads. The primary bedroom boasts coffered ceilings, plantation shutters, window seats and custom built-ins. This floor also includes two secondary bedrooms with closet organization systems, a full hallway bath and a rear staircase to the kitchen. The newly carpeted third level houses two additional bedrooms with dormers and window seats plus a spacious, renovated full bath with clawfoot tub, oversize shower and marble vanity. Steps away from the main house sits a two-story carriage house featuring a heated three-car garage and attached tool shed on the first floor and a one-bedroom suite with full kitchen and bath above. Beyond the home’s nearly one acre of partially fenced and professionally landscaped greenspace, endless attractions and conveniences await, including the Cynwyd Club, Cynwyd Heritage trail and Cynwyd train station (all within walking distance!). Enjoy award-winning Lower Merion Public Schools, low taxes and proximity to premier dining destination Pencoyd Landing too!
