Colonial

Accessed by a sweeping cobbled edged drive & located on one of Bryn Mawr's most desirable streets & neighborhoods, find this sophisticated 5 bdrm, 4/2 bath French-Styled Colonial offering thoughtfully & recently updated interior spaces with superior finishes in a traditionally-styled yet open, bright connected floor plan. A wide transverse Foyer with richly stained hardwood floors opens ahead to the formal LR brightened by two walls of windows. This elegant space showcases a detailed wood-burning fp & a set of transformed French doors which lead to a spacious bluestone terrace, pool & verdant lawn. A wall of custom wood shelving with storage cabinetry beneath provides elegant display space on either side of double paneled-doors to a large, gracious DR. With intimate or grand scale entertaining in mind, the DR is positioned centrally to allow access from the Foyer, LR, FR & Kitchen, & boasts an oversized window, bathing this room in natural light & inviting views of the surrounding gardens & mature trees.
