Welcome to this timeless masterpiece in the heart of Bryn Mawr, where French colonial charm meets modern elegance. This exquisite residence, nestled on a private cul-de-sac, offers a thoughtful floor plan, light-filled spaces and tranquil gardens in one of Lower Merion's most coveted locations, Northside Bryn Mawr. This stately home boasts five bedrooms including main floor ensuite bedroom with four full bathrooms. With french doors opening to the patio and gardens from every room in the rear, light filters into all the spaces and a generous floor plan provides great flow for entertaining and everyday living. The outdoor space is a true oasis, offering a serene retreat with blooming flowers, lush greenery, and thoughtfully designed garden pathways and sitting areas, including a fire pit. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or hosting a soirée, the gardens provide a picturesque backdrop for every occasion. As you approach the property a flagstone walkway surrounded by seasonal specimen plantings leads you to the double door entry. Step into the foyer and you are welcomed by gleaming hardwoods, large windows streaming in sunlight, and a beautiful staircase. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the expansive kitchen. A gourmet's delight, it features modern appliances seamlessly integrated into classic French design. From the large granite topped seated island to the bold Viking Range & professional hood this large kitchen provides an ideal space for culinary enthusiasts and is perfect for both intimate family meals and entertaining guests. The kitchen is open to a breakfast room and cozy sitting room with gas fireplace, a wall of windows and French doors offering views of the stunning flagstone patio with built-in bbq, and charming garden walls with manicured grounds beyond. The adjacent dining room with built in corner cabinets and moldings can accommodate a large dinner party perfect for holiday celebrations. A spacious step down living room complete with gas fireplace offers a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining guests. A private home office with built-in cabinetry and shelving and custom wood paneling is tucked off of the living room for added privacy. The Main floor Bedroom suite offers a wonderful space with an updated bathroom, including walk-in tiled shower and is perfect for guests, in-laws or a nanny! The powder room, oversized mud room/laundry room, back staircase and 2 car garage complete this level. The upper level of this home is expansive and offers flexibility catering to the homeowner's needs. The primary suite is spacious with a vaulted ceiling and features two walk-in closets plus a sitting room with window seat, and a secret door to a hidden storage closet! The large primary bath offers vaulted ceilings and skylights, a soaking tub, frameless glass shower and a granite-topped double vanity. Down the hall find a second charming bedroom suite with a window seat and a neutral hall bath with a soaking tub and linen closet. Two additional bedrooms share the fourth spacious full bath with shower and double vanity. Bedroom 5 is oversized (was two bedrooms combined to create one, we have a quote for $8,500 to turn it back into two bedrooms) and could be an upper level playroom, studio or home office. Bedroom five is also accessed by a back staircase. The finished lower level adds a layer of versatility to this already remarkable property. Whether it's a home theater, a game room, or a gym, this additional space offers endless possibilities. With its inviting interiors, stunning and enchanting gardens and walkways, and thoughtful design, this property invites you to experience the luxury of gracious living in a private and exclusive setting.
