Colonial

Rarely does a home become available which offers the best of everything. Located on a desirable private lane in the heart of Lower Merion, this stunning house provides a sanctuary combining modern conveniences with timeless elements epitomizing Main Line tradition. Built in 1920, the classic Pennsylvania stonework, lush gardens, extensive hardscaping, and elegant pool, all in impeccable condition, are hallmarks of the exterior of the house. Beautiful flagstone patios create multiple outdoor living spaces which are accessible from many of the downstairs rooms. The interiors are also in pristine condition. Gleaming hardwood floors were recently refinished by the current owners and are found throughout. The first floor is highlighted by large, gracious rooms with crown moldings, and large windows which permit sunlight to flood the interior spaces, all of which have been designed and decorated with a nod to the past combined with current trends. The living room features a newly installed coffered ceiling and large fireplace. The recently renovated white chef s kitchen with stainless appliances, custom tiled backsplash, and marble countertops provide plenty of space for food preparation and dining. The kitchen floors provide radiant floor heating, as do the floors in the spectacular solarium off of the living room. An inviting dining room and comfortable sitting room adjacent to the eat-in kitchen boast sophisticated built-in cabinetry. Upstairs the master suite has been updated to include fully outfitted walk-in closets and spacious marble bathroom with large walk-in shower and double vanities. There are three more family bedrooms on the second floor, one with fully updated en suite marble bathroom. Two more family bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom. All of the bathrooms on the second floor have been fully renovated to exacting standards. A convenient upper-level laundry room is also found on this floor. The third floor has two bedrooms and two updated bathrooms. The current owners thoroughly reworked the basement, creating a sophisticated refuge with custom built-ins, bar, and fireplace. The property upgrades are too many to mention here but include complete waterproofing system, security system, full house generator, new pool coping and heater, and exterior lighting. This spectacular house in award winning Lower Merion school district is conveniently located in close proximity to public transportation, major highways, Center City Philadelphia, and houses of worship.
