Property Description
Discerning families gravitate toward this gracious, impeccably designed Center Hall Colonial on peaceful, private grounds. Located on the most sought-after street in Lower Merion, it is the perfect house to raise a family and entertain both formally and informally. The current owners proudly note that they have used the level paved parking area in the front yard for soccer, basketball and even ice hockey. Equally memorable were outdoor parties held on the expansive tiered rear property surrounded by lush landscaping and perennial gardens, a large flagstone terrace and elevated pool area. Inside is comfortable and welcoming. On the right side of the house is a large family room and eat-in kitchen. With its vaulted ceiling, extensive built-in cabinetry and double French doors leading to an outdoor terrace, these 2 rooms make up the informal living space on the first floor. The kitchen has been stunningly renovated with custom cabinetry, granite counters, tiled backsplashes, premium appliances and a sun-filled breakfast area. On the left side of the house, there is a formal living room and dining room, both with access to the terrace, as well as a beautifully appointed library. The library includes mahogany bookshelves and built-in wet bar and entertainment center. It opens onto the terrace as well. Behind the library is a powder room, small laundry and changing room that can also be accessed from the pool area. On the second floor are 4 bedrooms highlighted by the luxurious master suite with fitted walk-in closets, a sitting area, windows on three exposures and a marble spa bath with a shower and whirlpool tub. A second bedroom has been expanded to include a magnificent bathroom and walk-in closet. Rear stairs lead up to a tranquil home office, with a built-in desk. The finished lower level houses a gym area, entertainment center, laundry and full bath. It is a great hideaway whether to work out or watch a movie. It can also be used as a discreet, private area for live-in help.
