Property Description
Called "LA GALERIE" because of the dialog between indoors and out, this ROMANTIC property is not a drive-by! You can't see it from the road! Down a private drive, completely SECLUDED you'll find SOMETHING SO SPECIAL! An exceptionally LOVELY property, consisting of 3.37 acres of specimen trees and captivating gardens that will take your breath away: a true refuge on the MAIN LINE yet literally minutes to Gladwyne(1 mile to the Guardhouse), Narberth, Ardmore and Routes 76 and 476! Natural sunlight shines through the plethora of windows and French doors in this CLASSIC Walter Durham home(including family/great room addition by Durham in 1951) which has been beautifully modernized, lovingly cared for and UPDATED over the past 21 years by the current owners. At one end of the house the kitchen with GRANITE ISLAND, stainless steel appliances and countertops galore, adjoins the butlers pantry, a seven-sided breakfast room, first floor laundry, backstairs, a full bath and spacious mudroom which leads to the garages, barn and a rear parking area. The CLASSIC black and white marble-floored CENTER HALL and main staircase separates the GRACIOUS Dining Room from the Living Room which has an Antique FP mantle. The quiet Library, off of the LR has a step down WALK-IN fireplace and French doors to private terrace. Beyond the LR lies a brick-floored ante room and formal PR leading to an impressive 30' x 17' Family/Great Room with soaring Tray Ceiling, Huge Fireplace, Wet Bar, and curving secret staircase to the Master Bedroom, completing the first floor. ENJOY privacy and views from the Master bedroom suite with another FP, his and her walk-in closets, a dressing area, balcony and an exterior "Bermuda" staircase overlooking the grounds. The spacious MARBLE MASTER bathroom has a double vanity, shower and soaking tub. Four additional bedrooms, 3 baths and an additional front balcony complete the second floor. Recent improvements also include a HANDSOME, NEW wood shingle roof. This ELEGANT home has C/A and a tucked away pool with huge patio, brick terraces, a large awning and two attached garage spaces as well as a four stall barn with additional parking. Amidst majestic trees and perennial gardens, it's hard to believe how QUICK and CONVENIENT the location is: within 5 minutes access to 76 (Gladwyne exit), GLADWYNE, Narberth, Ardmore, Haverford AND Bryn Mawr! RENOWNED Lower Merion Schools. ONE-OF-A-KIND property! A JOY TO SEE! Be the next fortunate owner!
