Property Description
Classic Walter Durham colonial on 4 acres in Gladwyne, just down the street from Gladwyne village, and a short 10 mile drive to center city or 2.5 miles to the train. The moment you enter the driveway you will be taken with the curb appeal of this home and it's charming outbuildings, brick walls, walkways and grapevine covered arbor. This house has been respectfully expanded, renovated and maintained, and is well suited for today's living. The expansive windows let sunshine in and highlight views of the gardens, lawns and woods. Pass through the wisteria covered front entrance and you will begin to appreciate the thoughtful detailing of Walter Durham: random width heart pine floors, reclaimed bricks from old Philadelphia, and beautiful millwork. Arched openings flank the center hall leading to an inviting dining room on one side and the gracious living room on the other. The living room features a tall ceiling, oversized windows, a large walk-in fireplace and a terrace door. The modern kitchen has a tray ceiling, custom cabinetry, island with breakfast bar, stone counters and high-end appliances. The laundry room with a farm sink is conveniently located next to the kitchen. Casual dining in the breakfast room is enhanced by the scenic views of the arbor. Up a few steps from the front hall is the heart pine paneled library with fireplace and door to multiple terraces. Completing the main level are the family room, two wet bars, powder room and large screened in porch with an oversized wood burning fireplace - making it usable in three seasons. On the second floor, the home features a large master suite with a bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom with two separate vanities, Jacuzzi tub, stall shower and water closet. There are 4 secondary bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, two bedrooms are connected by a jack and jill bathroom and the fifth bedroom/study has a half bath. Last but not least is the second floor great room, adjacent to the master suite and boasting a vaulted ceiling and birds-eye views. Additionally there are 3 outbuildings: a 2-car garage, a garden shed and a heated studio.
