Tudor, Carriage House

With breathtaking views of the 15th fairway of the famed Merion Golf Club, this stately English Tudor has recently been renovated, expanded and is exquisite inside and out. Positioned on 2.24 acres, its stone walls and lit entrance piers at both Golf House and Andover Roads welcome you home. The property comprises a grand main residence with 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 3 powder rooms, and separate carriage house with a 5-car heated garage and 2-bedroom apartment above. On the sprawling estate grounds you’ll enjoy a sparkling pool with spa; flagstone patios for entertaining; and a new pool house with stone exterior, covered patio, masonry fireplace, full kitchen with bar counter, laundry and full bath. Every inch of this jewel was considered by the owners in its no-expense-spared renovation and expansion. Thoughtful enhancements include an added parking area; rebuilt front veranda; extensive landscaping & exterior lighting; new and refinished windows; new custom French doors; refurbished slate roof; rebuilt chimney with new liners; new entry columns; and new copper roof & gutters on the family room and side entrance additions. All systems and mechanicals are also top of the line, from new plumbing and electrical to high-efficiency Geothermal HVAC; new hot water heaters; and an Elan smart system in the main and pool house for interior/exterior lighting, music & media controls. Plus a new 38K BTU Kohler generator is on standby to power the entire main residence and garage doors in the event of an electrical outage. Gracious interiors received the same attention to detail and offer every luxury amenity. Among them is a new elevator accessing 3 levels; all new recessed lighting controlled by Lutron Home System; radiant heat flooring in the entry foyer, rear hall, family room and master bath; and a stunning new custom chef’s kitchen with Waterworks cabinetry, a huge island, custom hood/ventilation system, and full suite of premium Gaggeneau, Sub-Zero & Miele professional appliances. Elegant remodeling continues in the generous living and dining rooms with fireplaces, bedrooms and baths, laundry room, home command center, and entire 3rd level play area which includes two full baths, and two bedrooms, one with three cabin-style platform beds for the kids. The breakfast room, gourmet kitchen and adjacent vaulted family room offers custom windows on three exposures and an easy indoor-outdoor flow through glass doors. A handsome library with fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry provides a perfect place to read, relax and work. Well-proportioned bedrooms await upstairs for family and guests. The highlight is the luxurious primary suite with a spacious dressing room, custom closets, and spa bath with his/her vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized shower, and water closet. The lower-level extends the living with a large-screen media room with beamed ceilings and gas fireplace, and cards/game area with full bar. Incomparable views of the renowned Merion Golf Club, and a prestigious address near all conveniences heighten the allure.
