Property Description

Stately, custom home on arguably THE most beautiful parcel in Gwynedd Valley—when you see it, you’ll agree. Access to the property is through the exclusive Polo Club neighborhood via the private lane known as “Fording Brook”, which includes an enclave of 5 distinct homes. This quiet retreat is sited on 2.7 lush acres surrounded by mature trees, a beautiful pasture and some of my most favorite, residents—the horses. Offering 9500 SQ FT with extraordinary views from nearly every window, this home boasts classic design, exceptional millwork, multiple fireplaces, and a front staircase that even Scarlet O’Hara would envy. Center hall entry is flanked on either side with formal Living and Dining rooms each with their own fireplaces, so there’s no need to share. If you’re already dreaming of your next mask-free soiree, this house is the perfect venue to entertain and be entertained. A Music room, Solarium, and a richly paneled Study featuring a gas fireplace, pocket doors and a large, bay window nearly complete the main floor. Need a first-floor bedroom with a full bath? This house has that too and can easily be accessed via the mudroom and porte cochere. The Chef’s Kitchen is updated with quality cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and quick access to both the sun-filled Breakfast Room and convenient back stairs for your little darlings to descend in time for daily meal prep. There are many places to gather in this thoughtfully designed home, but I think your favorite (and mine) will be the Great Room. This room highlights a volume ceiling accented with rich, wood beams, two skylights, and a wet-bar to stock your beverage of choice before you cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace with its’ fieldstone surround. Several access points to the private, rear yard and a flagstone patio for al-fresco dining further enhance the many features of this home. Interested in a pool? Who isn’t these days? Well, we have an amazing rendering available for consideration, and it would be the PERFECT complement to this wonderful home. Need bedrooms? The second floor has five bedrooms, each separately zoned—how’s that for convenience? The Owner’s Suite has a vaulted ceiling, full bath, two walk-in closets, and a sitting room with gas fireplace. Additional bedrooms are well appointed and share two full baths on either end of the center hallway. Trouble sleeping? Well, waking up just got easier because the upstairs balcony with views of that beautiful, rear yard featuring two flagstone patios, a 240 sq. ft. pergola, rose garden, and landscape lighting is where you can enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon tea EVERY day! The finished basement offers more room for Gaming, Media or a Home Gym, and a full bar to host your next Super Bowl party. If you’re handy, then you’ll appreciate the workshop and you’ll also understand the mechanical room which is host to the 13-zone heater too. Your tour isn’t over yet… the detached, heated two-car garage, and separate guest apartment (or future pool house) complete this AMAZING home. The house is protected by a hardwired fire alarm and security camera system. Gwynedd Valley living, top-ranked Wissahickon schools, numerous private schools, convenient to shopping, exceptional dining, major roadways, and Gwynedd Valley train station further enhances this dreamy abode. Please call for your showing today—I’d love to take you on a tour!
