On the Main Line, homes of this caliber are measured not only by the sweep of the land and square footage of the home, but also by the discipline of its stewards—knowing what to improve and knowing what to preserve. Set on 2.25 lush acres of park-like grounds, this spectacular “Legacy Estate” is precisely the kind of storied property the Main Line is known for — a private sanctuary where modern comfort has been woven in with a thoughtful hand, but the soul of the home was never compromised. As you approach the property, slow your pace and admire the scene. Set back from the road, the stone home sits high above a sweeping park-like lawn framed by privacy landscaping, accented by a charming bridge that arcs over a quiet curve of Mill Creek. The driveway offers both a circular turnaround and plentiful parking, perfect for everyday convenience and effortless entertaining. Step through the arched entry into a foyer anchored by a dramatic curved staircase, soaring ceilings with period moldings, and gleaming hardwood floors. To the right, the formal living room is lined with windows and centered on a wood-burning fireplace with new liner and firebox. Beyond, a library with cathedral beamed ceiling, fireplace, hidden bar, and access to the side patios offers one of the home's most inviting retreats. To the left of the foyer, the generously sized dining room features linen wall coverings and French doors opening to a slate patio — equally suited to outdoor parties or morning coffee. Adjacent, a breakfast room with lead-glass windows, beamed ceiling, and slate floor is outfitted with a custom built-in butler's pantry with lighted bar. The Chef's Kitchen delivers both luxury and function: a Lacanche range, Wolf steam oven, oversized island, statuary marble countertops, and generous cabinetry. Beyond, the original staff wing provides two bedrooms, a full marble bath with radiant heat floors, and access to both levels via the back staircase. Upstairs, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and balcony overlooking the grounds. The primary bath offers a soaking tub, oversized shower, double vanity, marble tile, radiant heat floors, and heated towel racks. Three additional bedrooms are served by two Jack-and-Jill baths, both with radiant heat floors. A hallway laundry room and attic storage complete the upper level. As you decend to lower level, you will find a landing with powder room and door to a patio. Below is the finished lower level-- a destination of its own. A large Recreation Room with fireplace has French doors that open to another slate patio. A redlight sauna, wet bar, powder room and exercise area, all with radiant heat flooring, provide a spa-like setting while the Wine Cellar with 2 zoned refrigeration will accommodate a collection of up to 2500 bottles! A utility room houses 2 new water heaters, new HVAC servicing the basement and 1st floor, the security panel and laundry hookup. A mudroom with boot wall and lockers is conveniently located next to the garage. The two-car garage with new doors houses a reverse osmosis water system, whole-house water softener/chlorine removal system, and EV charging station. Additional improvements to the home include a Generac generator, refurbished windows, two 200-amp electrical panels, heated gutters, a cedar shake roof, irrigation system, and an elevation certificate providing the property with minimal flood insurance. Walking distance to Rosemont train station, downtown Bryn Mawr and Ashbridge Park, with walking trails, sport courts and playground. Top-rated schools, and the Main Line's best dining and shopping. A full list of updates is available upon request.
