Enter this gracious home via a cobblestone-lined walkway flanked by boxwoods and limelight hydrangeas.
Upon entering, experience an open floor plan which encompasses lovely areas for entertaining, living, dining, and food preparation. Your eyes will be drawn to the living area’s main feature; a custom built floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace that mirrors the home’s exterior stonework. Radiant heat below new wood floors is throughout the first floor. The custom Pella French doors and windows allow abundant natural light to enter the home and showcase the private rear stone patio. The state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen features classic Wood Mode/Brookhaven custom cabinetry with abundant storage. The cabinets continue seamlessly throughout the dining area to provide additional storage for linens and tableware. High-quality Cambria quartz countertops flawlessly connect food prep and serving areas, providing seating for 3-4 guests at the generously sized island. High-end Bosch appliances and a Kohler farm sink & fixtures are sure to delight the home chef.  The kitchen designer included special lighting for every task with under-mounted cabinet lights, designer pendants, and recessed lighting. The first floor continues with a new powder room featuring a Kohler pedestal sink, Restoration Hardware lighting and mirror, and designer wallpaper. This paper is repeated in the coat closet along with custom shelving for out-of-season items. The skylit mud room with an antique tile floor has space for cubbies and exits to the rear and side patios. The laundry/utility room has a Maytag stack washer/dryer and utility sink.
Upstairs you will find a lovely main bedroom with an adjoining cozy sitting area and deep closet. Two additional rooms can be used as bedrooms or a bedroom and an office. The main bathroom was completely renovated with a high-end Kohler bathtub/shower, handmade subway tile, a two-tiered luxury marble sink on a polished nickel stand, linen closet, and a marble floor with radiant heat. The second floor features recessed and other custom lighting, Pella energy-efficient replacement windows, and refinished wood floors in a tasteful warm walnut hue.
In addition, the home boasts a whisper quiet high-efficiency air conditioning system (2017), a
new hot water heater (2019), and two spacious attics accessed by pull-down stairs.
Outdoor living is a breeze with three distinct stone patios. The new 9’x 32’ rear arched patio
was professionally built in 2021 and provides abundant space for outdoor dining. Side patios
provide private, elegant seating choices overlooking two new shade and Hosta
gardens. The property is partially fenced for privacy.  The handsome front garden was designed
and installed by award-winning Stoney Brook Nurseries and the side perennial garden (which
runs most of the length of the driveway) provides year-round color and interest.
This home is said to have been designed and built for auto industrialist Lewis Clark and was featured in
Philadelphia Magazine in 2017.
Ideally located on a tree-lined street in the coveted Coopertown neighborhood of Haverford and just a 30-minute commute to Center City Philadelphia via car or train.
