Colonial, Traditional

Traditional elegance shines in Villanova! This exceptional 6-7 bedroom, 7.2 bath residence is set amidst beautifully appointed grounds in a small exclusive enclave of only 9 homes. The original builder’s model for this development boasts many upgrades, including custom millwork throughout. This fresh, modern floor plan includes two home offices, four living areas, chef's kitchen, au pair suite, finished lower level, fantastic storage, and abundant natural light. The front double door opens to a sensational grand foyer and curved staircase. The dining room features impressive crown molding, wainscoting, tray ceiling, and access to the butler’s pantry. The living room’s nearly floor-to-ceiling windows bathe this space in light and here you can enjoy a travertine fireplace, the first of 3 fireplaces. French doors lead to a large powder room and beyond that, an office with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, crown moldings, and a lush green view that perfectly aids concentration while working. French doors from here lead to the all-season sunroom. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors to the expansive deck, and views of the grounds, your day might have its beginning, middle, and end in this bright and delightful space. The sunroom connects to a dramatic two-story family room. This is the center of the home, with wide plank oak hardwood floors and a remarkable custom inlaid border. A travertine fireplace centers the space while dramatic two-story Palladian windows and skylights let the light pour in and allow scenic views of nature all year round. A fantastic chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with granite counters and premium appliances, an office station, an open breakfast area with sliders to the deck, plus skylights, and a huge picture window bringing the outdoors in. Thermador, Sub Zero, French country range hood, double oven; all the expected appointments are here for extraordinary meals and entertaining. The connectivity between the main level rooms sets the stage for either casual and comfortable relaxation with family or lavish hosting with many friends. Off the kitchen are a large mudroom, powder room, storage, and the first of two laundry rooms. The second level houses five large bedroom suites - all with en-suite baths, carpeting, large closets, and large windows. Also, a second large laundry room with cabinetry. The primary bedroom suite is over 1200 sq feet. It includes an office, large sitting room, dressing and vanity area, his and hers walk-in-closets, and deluxe travertine-clad spa bath with a shower for two, Jacuzzi tub, skylights, and soothing neutral colors for a serene retreat. The finished third floor is a bright and open au pair suite featuring a large bedroom, full bath, living area with hardwood floors and skylights, and kitchenette, plus a large storage room. The full, finished lower level boasts multiple living and recreational areas: large workshop/hobby room, family room, roughly 1400-square-foot storage room, wine storage, and a daylight rec room that could be a gym/playroom/office/or a 7th bedroom, with a full bath adjacent to it. Outside, the expansive, maintenance-free deck runs nearly the length of the whole house. A stunning courtyard terrace includes a gorgeous garden, built-in seating, and fountain, while a dining pergola beckons beyond. There are noteworthy specimen plantings all around, while the landscape design and lot positioning overall take strategic advantage of natural light. This 20-year-old beauty has had all stucco replaced with Hardie board in the last 3 years. This location is walkable to the brand new Black Rock Middle School set to open in Fall 2022. Beyond the gorgeous natural surroundings and gracious living space, you’ll enjoy close proximity to shopping and fine dining, some of the best public and private schools in the nation, beautiful parks, all major transportation routes, King of Prussia, and Center City.
