Welcome to a Fabulous English Country Garden Estate on the Main Line! This stunning home on 1.18 Acres is nestled in a private, wooded area of Lower Merion, yet is within walking distance to the train station. Built in 1912 by Allen Evans, the architect behind the Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, this home’s front exterior was inspired by the designs of Edwin Lutyens, a leading architect of English country houses in the UK. Constructed from large stones, the home boasts impressively thick walls and has been preserved in line with its historic character. The property features a grand wood burning fireplace in the great hall, four other fireplaces, a remodeled kitchen, six bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, beautiful hardwood floors, two staircases (one off the kitchen and one off the hallway), two porches, a terrace, a balcony, a detached two-car garage, a shed, and charming gardens with a creek running through the property. The property has a common right-of-way to access the back path leading to Suburban Square, making it very walkable; and the train station, with direct route to Center City Phila and New York. The school district is Lower Merion. As you enter through the front door, charmingly tucked away on the side of the home, you are welcomed by a striking Mercer-tiled hallway. This elegant entryway features a series of double French doors that lead to two covered porches and the serene south garden. To the right, the garden study awaits, with a gas log fireplace and exterior door to the gardens. On the left, just up a few steps, you'll find a powder room and a spacious kitchen, complete with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and granite countertops. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a comfortable family room, with convenient access to the garage and back gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen, and accessible from both the hall and the kitchen, is the formal dining room, featuring a gas-log fireplace and three large twelve-pane windows that offer picturesque views of the back terrace and gardens. At the far end of the hallway, lies the magnificent great room, perfect for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a stunning Mercer-tiled fireplace, french doors opening to the front and side gardens, and a large stone bay alcove with charming leaded windows. The second floor offers three en-suites, two wood-burning fireplaces, an office/den and plenty of closet space, including walk-ins. The primary suite includes a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, a sitting area, and a balcony large enough to accommodate a table and chairs. The third floor features three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and access to the attic. The basement includes a laundry room, full house storage, and potential space for a wine cellar. This incredible house is a true masterpiece, combining historic charm with modern amenities in a breathtaking setting!
