Colonial

Step into this exquisite 5-bedroom masonry stone colonial in sought-after North-side Bryn Mawr. Crafted in 1950, this McDevitt home blends tradition with innovation. McDevitt's mastery of light is evident throughout, with expansive deep-set windows and walls of glass with doors gracing the public spaces. Situated in a serene enclave with no through traffic, this neighborhood offers a safe and walkable haven for residents and children. As you enter through the covered patio, the hall foyer welcomes you with hardwood pegged floors that extend throughout the first floor. To the right of the front door is the powder room next to a cozy den with a fireplace surrounded by built-in bookcases. Down the hall, French doors open to a beautiful, light-filled, formal living room with a fireplace surrounded by built-in bookcases and boasting a wall of metal composite paned windows with two doors to the back flagstone patio. A rounded archway leads to the elegant formal dining room, adorned with metal composite-encased windows and two more doors to a flagstone patio and backyard. These stunning windows in the living room and dining rooms provide abundant natural light and spectacular views of the private grounds and mature plantings. The kitchen features a gas stove, ample counter space, a walk-in pantry, an egress door to the attached two-car garage, back stairs to the second floor, and access to the basement. Adjoining the kitchen is an expansive family room with cathedral ceilings, built-ins, a screened-in porch at the end of the room, and more access to the outdoor flagstone patio through large window sliders. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite impresses with a private full bathroom, two walk-in closets, and a second full bathroom with a tub connecting to an adjacent 2nd bedroom, nursery, office, or owner's retreat room. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the fifth has a separate ensuite. The lower level offers abundant open space, mechanicals with a workbench, and quality storage closets. Outside, the property delights with flat ground for play, mature perimeter hedgerows and trees for privacy, a generous, enclosed flagstone patio with gardens, a greenhouse, and a shed.
