Property Description
Experience the pinnacle of Main Line prestige in this meticulously reimagined, ultra-luxury Colonial estate. Tucked away on a beautifully landscaped lot, this immaculate 3-to-4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence seamlessly combines modern sophistication with high-end, resort-style amenities.
The Main Level: Open-Concept Masterpiece.
Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the entire first floor features premium, thick real hardwood flooring, custom recessed and spot lighting, and high-end wood blinds.
Chef's Gallery Kitchen: A massive granite island seating up to 7 guests, custom soft-closing cabinets, a brilliant glass backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel LG appliances (large fridge, dishwasher, double stove, under-island microwave, garbage disposal, and integrated water filtration). A rear door leads directly to the outdoor dining area.
Salon & Lounge: The spacious living room centers around a high-efficiency gas-insert fireplace framed by a floor-to-ceiling stone accent wall.
The Entertainment Zone: Features a custom cocktail bar with its own island, extensive storage, and a premium dining table that seamlessly converts into a professional pool table.
Dual surround sound systems independently power the living and dining areas.
Designer Powder Room: A beautifully appointed half-bath boasting a stone accent wall and luxury gold fixtures.
The Outdoor Oasis: Private Resort.
Step outside into a fully fenced, professionally landscaped backyard sanctuary built to mimic a five-star vacation resort.
Patio & Lounge: A massive stamped concrete patio houses a full outdoor dining table, sitting adjacent to a dedicated fire pit lounge with dual tanning beds.
State-of-the-Art Outdoor Kitchen: Fully equipped with a natural gas-connected Weber BBQ, a professional Nirosta stainless steel preparation table, a working sink, premium granite countertops, and an outdoor refrigerator.
Outbuildings: Two nice-sized design sheds connected by an outdoor deck, completely outfitted with full interior and exterior lighting systems.
The Upper Level: Vaulted Sanctuaries & Sky Deck.
Ascend to the second floor, defined by dramatic 9'+ vaulted ceilings, architectural ceiling fans, and high-end blinds.
Master Suite: A palatial retreat boasting three dedicated closets (including one massive walk-in) and a high-end en-suite full bathroom.
A hallway bath features a deep, therapeutic Jacuzzi soaking tub and extra storage.
Step out onto the private sky deck, complete with an outdoor heater and a versatile circular daybed that converts into 4 chairs and a table.
Adaptive Layout: The current executive office can easily be converted back into 2 separate bedrooms, creating a 4-bedroom footprint on this floor, if desired.
Independent Lower Level features a fully finished daylight basement functions as a completely independent suite (ideal for an au pair or in-laws) with a separate entrance leading straight to the driveway. Amenities: Includes a private kitchenette with a tile backsplash and granite counters, vast closets, and a laundry hub with a large, high-end washer and dryer.
Additional hidden storage space designed to keep seasonal gear and valuables tucked neatly out of sight.
Also in the basement is a full bathroom equipped with radiant heated floors.
The home is powered by two high-efficiency HVAC zones, individual bathroom space heaters, and a freshly painted interior palette. A massive private driveway accommodates up to 6 cars (blocking each other) alongside a dedicated trash area and automated LED outdoor lighting.
Turnkey Advantage: For a seamless relocation, this premium estate can be rented fully furnished and equipped exactly as seen during showings (excluding office furniture).
Elite Lower Merion location, only 0.2 miles to top Cynwyd schools.
