Welcome to this beautiful, secluded property in north-side Haverford, with approximately one acre of manicured grounds set back off the main road, through a winding, picturesque, private driveway surrounded by specimen plantings and gardens. A custom-built home by Pasquale Beccia in 1950, plus many updates by the current owners inside and out, provides for all the conveniences of new construction (see attached Key Improvements for upgrades and additions) while keeping the ultimate graciousness and integrity of the original home and property. This home has 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, divided into two ensuites on the first floor and two ensuites on the second floor. Lovely, generously proportioned rooms throughout, high ceilings, large windows with amazing views, random width and length pegged wood floors, and an expansive covered front porch make this home gracious and warm.
Enter through the front door to the wide center hall, pass the powder room and up a few steps through the foyer. You will immediately be drawn straight ahead to the expansive formal living room with French Doors to terrace, gas fireplace, built-in shell cabinetry, and stunning views of gardens and grounds that are also enjoyed from the gracious formal dining room. A Chefs gourmet kitchen with high end appliances and breakfast room, mud room with access to private, walled terrace and garden, cozy family room with built-ins and wet bar and the first-floor home office (or bedroom), full bath with laundry and primary bedroom suite with walk-in closets and radiant heat bathroom floors complete the first floor. Enjoy the customized, zoned, Sonos sound system for individualized listening pleasure in any space of the entire first floor.
Stairs lead you to the second floor landing and 2 additional, large, ensuite bedrooms with bath/shower combos and plenty of closets. Additional attic space can be finished or used for extra storage.
The basement holds the home gym, a custom-built wine cellar that can store approximately 1,500 bottles, plenty of storage, open closets, half bath, and access to oversized 2 car garage with an elevator shaft that accesses the main floor.
Convenient to SEPTA (R5), Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Gladwyne and Ardmore’s many boutique shops and delicious restaurants, and in close proximity to Pennsylvania's best public and private schools. This home is special in every way and a must-see!
