If you love Northside Haverford but are looking for a newer, more modern layout than what is often available in that neighborhood, this could be the right one for you. Built in 2014 at the end of a cul-de-sac, this gorgeous stone home features a casual elegance—sophisticated but not fussy or overly formal. The perennial plantings create an incredible oasis perfect for entertaining. The generous entry hall sets the tone of the home with the 7” oak hardwood floors that continue throughout the house. Straight ahead is the dining room, which boasts a fireplace, lovely ceiling molding and a window wall showcasing the spectacular grounds and stunning infinity pool. Around the corner, just past the powder room, step down into a lovely living room with coffered ceiling, fireplace and plenty of room for multiple seating areas. This room also features French doors to the back yard. Across the entry hall is a large office with two entrances. Through the convenient butler’s pantry is the highlight of the house: the incredible chef’s kitchen and family room. No expense was spared in this kitchen which boasts top-of-the-line appliances and finishes including William Green cabinetry, 60” Viking range, two dishwashers and Miele refrigerator as well as an island with a second sink. The family room’s vaulted ceiling and French doors, along with several large banks of windows, create a light-filled, comfortable space that can accommodate a large group but still retains a feeling of intimacy. Rounding out the first floor are a second powder room, mud room, storage closets and access to the garage and a door to the driveway.
The graceful staircase delivers you to a large second floor landing. The primary suite also features a vaulted ceiling and is incredibly spacious. The closet/dressing room area and bathroom are the pinnacle of luxury. A custom closet design system provides organization and tons of space. The makeup and dressing area includes a sink and large upholstered bench and the bathroom offers a glass-enclosed stone shower, separate soaking tub, double sinks and even a towel heater. Down the hall, you’ll find the laundry room, two en-suite bedrooms and a spectacular dressing room with its own private bath. This room could be turned back into an en-suite bedroom simply by removing the closet system. Finally, the third floor houses a sunny bedroom and a bathroom.
The finished basement begins with an enormous room that could be a playroom, large gym, or whatever else you envision. Up a couple of steps is the wine cellar and half bath, as well as a movie room or exercise space or overflow sleeping area. There is also an ample unfinished room for storage/craft projects, etc.
Outside, you’ll find two additional structures—the detached two-car garage (in addition to the attached garage) which houses a fabulous one-bedroom apartment above. This space is perfect as a guest/nanny/in-law suite. There is also a convenient air-conditioned pool house with kitchenette, seating area, washer/dryer and full bath. The gorgeous landscaping and tasteful stonework focus your attention on the incredible pool. There is plenty of room for seating/lounging on the flagstone deck and a built-in grill makes it perfect for entertaining.
Incredible privacy, breathtaking grounds, geothermal heat, 50 year roof, energy efficient windows and systems, Lower Merion schools and only seven years old—move right in with nothing to renovate, remodel or replace.
