Welcome to one of the most unique and attractive neighbhoods in Lower Merion. Springmont Circle and John Barry Drive quietly boast some of the most cleverly designed contemporaries: all well maintained and landscaped on generous lots. Both streets are cul de sacs eliminating cut through and non-essential traffic. A total of only 32 homes grace the greater community. The featured home rests prominently on the corner of Springmont Circle and John Barry Drive on the slight crest of an acre plus lot. Set back off the road it provided an opportunity to landscape the entire property providing an extremely attractive street view and a very private backyard featuring a heated pool and jacuzzi. It is a pie shaped lot whose back yard is slightly sloping and wooded. The home built in 1980 has been lovingly maintained with numerous upgrades and floor plan changes to accommodate the family needs at the time. For example, while there are 5 bedrooms, there was an au pair bedroom on the first floor with full bath. When that no longer served the purpose, the room was reduced in size, the shower was removed, and a generous laundry room was created which still has a powder room and the slightly smaller bedroom. All this could be reversed to add a full 6th bedroom. The home has a combination of generous and functional spaces whose ceiling heights in half the home help define their personalities. One enters the property on a slightly curved driveway. The covered front double door is on the left, 2 car space driveway additional parking on the right and an oversized 2 car garage ahead. The top of the driveway features a large circulalar space swhere one can completely turn around The 3 traditional spaces offer generous views ofthe backyard and the pool. All spaces enjoying great light. Both the generously sized Living Room and Family Room include a fireplace; the latter featuring a floor to ceiling stone front. The kitchen is a large rectangle whose center holds a granite top center aisle and is designed to make all the appliances easy to access. A special feature is an eat in space aside large and bright windows. We look forward to seeing you.
