Colonial

Experience the grandeur of a bygone era in this commanding 5-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence, situated on a premier private road in the heart of Lower Merion. Offered for the first time in over 40 years, this 4,300+ square foot masonry home represents a rare convergence of scale, total privacy, and significant recent upgrades, including a brand-new roof. The approach is defined by a stately U-shaped driveway with dual entrances, leading to a front entrance adorned with a striking copper roof that makes the property truly shine. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer featuring a signature spiral staircase sets a tone of timeless elegance. The expansive 12-room floor plan is masterfully designed for modern life, featuring a dedicated first-floor home office and a rare first-floor in-law suite with a full bath and a private entrance through the garage. The heart of the home offers an intriguing opportunity for customization; the kitchen is flanked by two distinct, spacious rooms. This unique layout allows the new homeowner to get creative—whether you envision a formal banquet-sized dining room paired with a cozy morning room, or a casual breakfast nook adjacent to a vibrant sunroom or playroom, the choice is yours. The second level offers exceptionally oversized bedrooms, including a thoughtful Jack and Jill bathroom configuration. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, having been expanded to offer an impressive footprint. This sun-drenched retreat features massive walk-in closets and elegant built-in dressers, all while offering serene, elevated views overlooking the manicured backyard and pool. For recreation and storage, the expansive basement is already half-finished, offering a massive footprint to create a custom gym or media room, protected by a full French drain system and sump pumps. The outdoor oasis is a true showstopper and a testament to decades of meticulous care. The previous owners lovingly maintained the lush gardens and vibrant plantings, creating a peaceful, private escape that feels worlds away from the everyday. Dotted with charming bird houses that attract local songbirds, the backyard is a sanctuary of nature and tranquility. Set on nearly half an acre of manicured grounds, the professional-grade in-ground concrete pool features a unique built-in child’s pool, ensuring a safe and inclusive swimming environment for all ages. Enjoy the absolute seclusion of a private road with the world-class amenities of the Main Line and the award-winning Lower Merion School District just moments away.
