Property Description
Welcome to our home with lush and plush wooded surroundings. Wind through the woods up to this expanded, 6500 SF mid-century modern retreat where every room is a room with a view.Step through your double entry doors and the drama begins with a grand, 2-story foyer, open staircase, and free-flowing first floor. To your left, a vaulted step-down living room with 25 ceilings features full-height windows which frame your nearly 2-acre woodland and open to a flagstone terrace for pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres. Then step up into your lovely, raised formal dining room for the main course. Retire next into your sleek and uber- functional, open-concept kitchen with a spacious family room, where you can continue to drink in nature in every season. Plenty of counter space, a large pantry, high-end appliances, including grill-top, counter seating for four, and a breakfast area overlooking the blue jays, make for a happy buzz in the kitchen. If it's cool outside, get cozy in the family room, with its raised, wood-burning fireplace and beamed ceilings, as you watch the leaves change color. Or step out to the lovely deck for al fresco dining and outdoor fun just down the steps onto a patio. A powder room and convenient mud/laundry room with washer and dryer, folding table and outside entrance complete the main living area. In the master bedroom suite -- centerpiece of the private, four-bedroom first floor sleeping wing -- you open your eyes to the treetops each morning, then move over to your large walk-in closet with built-ins and to your master bath with shower, a jetted tub, glass-walled, enclosed shower and private WC. There are three more nice-sized, bright bedrooms and a hall bath with shower and jetted tub.Greeting you on the upper level is a charming landing nook currently used as a library. The adjoining lofted bedroom features dramatic views of the living room and its glass walls and outdoor majesty. With a sweet window seat, this area could also be used as an office, yoga or meditation space. A second large bedroom on this level has private access to the hall bath, with new glass-surrounded shower, and can serve as a lovely second-level master suite option.On the lower level is an entertainer's dream: an elegant, richly-designed private club room, complete with wet bar, game table and pool table area, where you can serve up some craft brews to friends. There s a full bath/mud room on this level, a bright, glass-walled area for a playroom, Peloton room or lounge, as well as an additional living area -- again, with glass walls -- where you can let your imagination run wild. There's the potential on this level to add a lower-level fireplace. And there's also indoor access to the bright, oversized two-car garage. Three zone heat/cooling and loads of closet and storage space help you make efficient use of every level of this bright, open and stylish house. A unique property for the discriminating buyer.Outside, natural stone walls, idyllic sitting areas, and footpaths grace the very lush property, which features parking for up to 15 cars, as well as turn-around space. It s almost impossible to believe that this fully private mountain retreat is located in exceptional Lower Merion Township, with its award-winning public and private schools. With near-instant access to the Schuylkill Expressway, Pennsylvania Turnpike and regional rails, you're but 15 to 20 minutes away from all points, including Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, and King of Prussia. Bring your dreams. You ll never want to leave.
