Discover Main Line magnificence in this secluded six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom center-hall colonial featuring meticulously curated interiors, acres of arboretum-quality grounds and a coveted Bryn Mawr location. Available for the first time in 20 years, this exceptionally maintained residence awaits its next era of lavish entertaining and serene relaxation. Originally designed and built by respected Main Line architect Walter K. Durham in 1935, this extraordinary home combines classic influence and prewar modernism to masterful effect. It's no surprise it has been professionally photographed and published in the pages of The Magazine Antiques. A gorgeous brick façade with stone trim and a classic pediment underscores the home's classic inspiration. Inside the 7,180-square-foot showplace, ceilings soar over 10 feet tall above exquisite hardwood floors, handsome millwork, premium finishes and bespoke architectural details. The gracious foyer and grand staircase make a dramatic introduction to the classic center-hall layout with swag moldings and sophisticated wainscoting. To the left, greet guests in the regal formal living room featuring a stately stone fireplace, ornate crown molding and custom wall treatments. Here, French doors open to an inviting den with oversized windows, while a curved staircase leads to the main-floor owner's suite's sitting room and private quarters. The tranquil primary bedroom creates an ambiance of absolute serenity with luxurious wall-to-wall carpeting, custom wall coverings and a stately fireplace. Custom carved doors reveal multiple closets and the vast dressing room, while the en suite full bathroom is a contemporary indoor-outdoor oasis where a freestanding soaking tub, two walk-in showers and separate vanities are surrounded by walls of windows. To the right of the foyer, plan memorable gatherings in the large formal dining room warmed by a distinctive fireplace and topped by a soaring tray ceiling. Gracious entertaining is effortless, thanks to a powder room and direct access to the modern gourmet kitchen. Chefs will love the sleek wood cabinetry, large center island, stainless steel countertops and a fleet of professional-grade appliances, including a six-burner cooktop, Viking vent hood, double Wolf wall ovens, oversized cabinet-front refrigerator-freezers, and dishwasher drawers. Enjoy morning coffee and casual meals in the breakfast nook, where French doors lead to a stone patio. A large skylit mudroom does double duty as a pantry with walls of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and shelving. A comfortable family room filled with French doors and a full bathroom completes the thoughtful main floor. Throughout the main level's indoor-outdoor layout, numerous French doors open to the park-like 2.37-acre grounds â a horticulturalist's wonderland of lush rolling lawns, specimen plantings, towering trees and manicured gardens. Retreat to the heated swimming pool, or plan al fresco dinners and garden parties on the large stone terraces. Board your private elevator or ascend the elegant staircase to explore the home's second level, where the vast library invites you to curl up with a good book alongside carved built-ins and a fireplace. Four secondary suites with private baths provide plenty of room for friends, family and staff on this floor. Head to the lower level to find a carpeted home gym, an oversized laundry room and a wine room. The special property sits very privately down a long lane leading to a stone motor court flanked by an attached two-car garage and a detached one-car garage. While it feels worlds away, this peaceful home is ideally situated near Main Line amenities, including wonderful shopping, fine dining, golf courses, train stations, and top-rated schools and colleges. Enjoy easy access to Center City Philadelphia attractions and the Philadelphia Airport.
