1079 Baron Dr, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010

Perhaps inspired by the name of the street on which it is locate, this stately Baronial 5 bedroom 5 full & 3 half bath home is privately situated on a slight rise at the end of the tree-lined lane. Castlebridge, as welcoming as it is impressive, presents with an extraordinary graduated multi-colored slate roof, generous arrival courtyard and 3 car attached garage. Glimpses of the pool, fully outfitted & conditioned pool house, side yard & fenced gardens and a charming lit cupola atop an executive office with concealed access to an impressive thermostatically controlled wine cellar. A custom entry door opens to a two-story great room/dining room, brightened by custom leaded glass windows & warmed by a large stone surround fireplace. Steps away is a first level master suite with marble bath, under window jetted tub, steam shower & his and her closets. A fireplace with inglenook & double doors to a deep balcony overlooking the rear yard & fire pit complete the master retreat which was exceptionally styled, considered & customized to the seemingly smallest detail with interior direction by avant-garde designer, Marguerite Rogers. Sensitive to maintaining the character & style of the residence a bespoke English kitchen by Mark Wilkinson blends seamlessly into the Breakfast room/Conservatory. Designed in England, shipped & reconstructed piece by piece on site, the vaulted steel, wood & glass conservatory provides sweeping views of the 1.04 acres & access to a walled stone terrace & inset gas grill. An additional bedroom with exquisitely tiled full bath, two story sky-lit gym, once purposed as an art studio, dog room, large laundry & connection to both the independent office as well as lower level are found on the western exposure of the home. Descend to a one of a kind home theater and game room. Deep coffered ceiling highlighted with custom milled design elements incorporating architectural antiques from the owner's extensive travels, adjacent bar with Miele dishwasher, refrigerator and media component storage. The arcade with 10 foot ceilings & deco inspired half bath complete the lower level entertaining area. At garden level, find three large guest or family bedrooms & three full baths, as well as a large additional tile floored family space with double door exit to pool. Truly a remarkable and must-see property. 2018-10-12
