Description

Look no further for your forever home! Custom built by Vintage Homes and thoughtfully designed by architect Rene Hoffman in 2001, this home is the epitome of peaceful elegance. Accessed by a long winding drive and perched atop a gentle hill, this 2-acre lot with professional landscaping offers picturesque views galore. The curb appeal of the classic, elegant stone manor home entices you to see more. The spacious center front-to-back entrance hall gives way to an elegant dining room and living room the perfect stage for hosting large, refined dinner parties or small casual dinners. Toggled between the kitchen and the dining room is a butler pantry providing a serving area for tea, coffee, desserts, or aperitifs, and additional storage for fine serving ware. The true Chefs kitchen with a massive granite island, six burner Viking Stove with Griddle and Two Ovens, Viking Warming Oven, Farmhouse Sink, and Two Bosch Dishwashers opens to a lovely light-filled breakfast room. The fireside family room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, soaring ceilings, and a wall of windows pulling in the natural light. A private study tucked away in the back corner of the home provides a quiet retreat for home office use. Completing the first floor are formal and informal powder rooms, a mudroom, and several coat closets for ample storage. Ascend the elegant staircase to the spacious second floor. There you will find the master suite with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a sumptuous master bathroom. There are four other spacious bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, and one Jack and Jill bathroom for the other two bedrooms. The back ensuite bedroom can be accessed directly using the rear staircase, creating an ideal set-up for a nanny, in-laws, or visiting guests. Conveniently located on the second floor is a large laundry room with a utility sink, cabinets, and shelving to stack clean laundry. The lower level of the house offers abundant finished space that is multipurpose with great storage. Currently set up is a large media/theater area, a game area, a study bar, and a bonus room with a fold-down Murphy bed for an overspill of guests. Just off the exercise room is a full bath for convenient showering after a hard workout. Car lovers will appreciate the three-car garage with additional space for storing bikes and other outside equipment. Finally, finishing off this lovely property is a large flagstone patio with stone wall bench seating providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining under the stars. With relatively low taxes, access to the top-rated Radnor School district and a multitude of private schools, this home is a must see. Other features include a whole house generator, hardwood floors, beautiful wainscotting, and a neutral palette. Centrally located with easy access to all major roadways and a quick drive to downtown Wayne, Villanova, Bryn Mawr and local trains.
