Description

Wait until you see the scenic 3.5 acre yard that embraces this 4 BD, 3/2 BA home in Radnor Township! Located on a very quiet, park-like street of mostly large historic homes, this property is close to parks, shops, restaurants, and train stations in Rosemont and Bryn Mawr. An extensive (to the studs) renovation in 2001 added a 2nd story and Great Room addition to a one-story ranch. The result is a popular open concept floor plan with an office which is ideal for working from home. Soaring 2-story Entrance Hall opens to a large Dining Room with wood-burning fireplace and open flow to the rear Great Room. This vaulted room is enhanced by vintage barn beams and a tall wall of windows overlooking the yard. The Kitchen features cream glazed perimeter cabinets, granite counters, and a built-in furniture style hutch. The island has an overhang for barstool seating, and a 2nd sink area. Appliances include a SubZero refrigerator, Viking Professional 5-burner cooktop with exhaust hood, SubZero double wall ovens, GE stainless dishwasher, and a stainless wine frig. A cozy built-in Breakfast nook seats 6+ and is adjacent to another set of cabinets which are ideal for buffet serving. Upstairs is an expansive owner?s suite ? including a huge Master BD with large windows on 3 elevations, large Master BA, walk-in closet, and a private balcony. The 2nd floor also includes a private Office with a charming vintage wood & glass door. 3 more Hall Bedrooms & 2 full Bathrooms are located on the main floor - offering unique flexibility for a variety of living situations. BD 2 has an en suite BA and walk-in closet. Luxurious 1st floor Hall BA has a large vanity, whirlpool tub, and separate shower. Multiple closets, a large Laundry Room, Mudroom, and Powder Room complete the main floor. Downstairs is a very large, partially finished, walk-up Basement with two Rec Rooms, wet bar, and a second Powder Room. An additional Bonus Room and unfinished Storage/Utility Room offer space for exercise gear, crafts, & hobbies. Other features include newer windows and wood floors on the 1st & 2nd floors. Relax and enjoy scenic views from two covered flagstone porches and several patio areas. The topography of this very rare lot is nearly level and cleared, with grassy lawn and specimen plantings, so there is ample room for a swimming pool, fire pit, or building additional structures. The convenient location is close to the Blue Route, Center City, Airport, and all the amenities that the Main Line has to offer. *** Note that Delaware County is conducting a real estate tax reassessment, effective Jan. 1, 2021.
