Ranch/Rambler

A beautiful setting, prime location and elegant living quarters define this, impeccably- updated single-story gem on a secluded private lane in Gladwyne. A truly rare offering like this doesn’t come along often, nestled on a unique piece of land spanning 2.5 scenic acres, neighboring the bucolic Idlewild Farm Preserve and Bridlewild Trial. Take a stroll to the preserve to better appreciate the incredible setting. The wonderful donkeys, goats and other animals roaming are fully paid for and cared for. The property, complete with an animal barn with 3 stalls, a feed/tac room, and indoor-outdoor chicken coop is zoned residential, and a portion of the grounds are currently being used to house the farm animals. The new owner can be named on that trust's insurance policy. Nothing else like it exists! *** However, If the new owner does not want the animals to remain, other arrangements can be made. Paradise awaits the nature lover, right here in your family’s own oasis. Entertain and enjoy the incredibly spacious backyard featuring a brand-new sparkling in- ground pool with new equipment, gorgeous new stone patio with covered and open areas, new landscaping and exterior lighting, and new fire pit to cozy around affording the ultimate outdoor pleasure. Also new is the lovely covered front patio where you can relax, read the paper, and sip coffee while overlooking picturesque views. Generous grounds are perfect for sports, recreation, and playtime with new fencing. The entire house has been painted, and renovated interiors are simply stunning. New front and rear doors, all refinished wood floors, new lighting throughout, an all-new chef’s kitchen from the cabinetry to the appliances and huge center island, and 4 totally new high-end bathrooms are among the thoughtful upgrades. A gracious open entry welcomes you inside with a powder room, coat closet, new laundry room and outside exit to the patio-pool nearby. On one side is a large step-down living room with a brick fireplace that accesses the patio and pool as well. On the other is a formal dining room brightened by a massive picture window showcasing scenic vistas. A charming family room with stone fireplace, built-ins, and walls of windows on both sides sits off the open kitchen for more casual times, with glass doors to the pool-patio for summer parties. An office with custom built-ins, well-proportioned bedrooms including a luxurious primary suite, fabulous spa-inspired primary bath with an enormous water room, full basement, detached 2-car garage, and make this super-special home a dream! The new buyer could also choose to expand the home or build anew!
