Property Description
Welcome to 1620 Gerson Drive. A lovely home perfectly located in the center of a private cul-de-sac. This home has been renovated and meticulously cared for by the same owners for 25 years.
Step into the grand, two-storied, foyer with custom side lights and a large window that allows for loads of natural sunlight. You will be at once greeted by the warm embrace of traditional elegance seamlessly blending with modern luxury. The rooms are exceptionally generous in size and offer both relaxed living, along with a perfect layout for entertaining guests.
On the main level, you will find the formal living room and dining room with warm wood floors and attractive millwork allowing for intimate gatherings and/or large family celebrations. The updated, eat-in kitchen has all modern amenities, boasting a large peninsula with brand new quartz countertops offering plenty of prep space and custom storage, a convection microwave, a new stainless sink, along with a built-in desk and/or coffee bar. Sliding glass doors lead to the elevated patio overlooking an expansive yard. The custom built-in bench and dining area are perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning and/or al fresco dining in the evening. Follow the paver path down to the manicured lawn, which is surrounded by mature trees and offers complete privacy. This picturesque, private rear yard was fully fenced in 2020 and includes a fire-pit area.
Off the breakfast area is a spacious bonus room currently used as a den, which could be a great office or a main level bedroom. Just a few steps away is a fabulous, oversized great room with windows on three sides and is perfect for entertaining and includes a wood burning fireplace. There is also a powder room, a full-sized laundry room and many closets on the main level.
Following the grand staircase to the second level you will find the primary bedroom with a custom outfitted walk-in closet and large updated en-suite bath with new tile flooring. There are two additional spacious bedrooms and one smaller bedroom (suitable for an office or nursery) all outfitted with custom closets and share a full bathroom with double sinks and new tile flooring.
The lower level in this home is one that's rarely found and sets this home apart. This walk-out level offers close to 1800 sf of fully finished living space including a custom gym addition, featuring mirrored walls and is flooded in natural sunlight. Additionally, there is a large private office space with its owned keyed entrance, a craft room with built-in storage for supplies and table, along with storage areas and a powder room (accessible from either space), a built-in cabinet with sink, refrigerator, and separate room for mechanicals. The office area could easily be used as another large bedroom or au-pair suite. This walk-out level leads directly to the two-car garage and access to the backyard.
This home has a newer roof (2019), new hot water heater (2023), new garbage disposal (2024), has dual-zoned AC (one unit 2014 and other is brand new 2024) and most rooms have been freshly painted.
Located in the highly desirable Blue Ribbon Lower Merion School district with easy access to I-76, Philadelphia International Airport and Center City Philadelphia.
***Note that most of the home furnishings are available for purchase, including the bar in the great room and gym equipment.
