The expansive grounds, lush with meticulously maintained gardens and a tranquil Japanese fishpond, provide a perfect backdrop for this one-of-a-kind residence. Here, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to offer an unparalleled living experience, making it a rare gem on the Main Line.

The main level welcomes you with a bright, open-concept family room that flows seamlessly into the kitchen, flanked by a sun-filled breakfast room and a den.

This space, like the rest of the house, has been meticulously updated, including new windows, new plaster and paint, and a rebuilt septic and drip system.

These include a 3/4" jumbo cedar roof with 50-year protection, 20-gauge copper flashing on the front pent, valleys, and rear dormer, European 6” 20oz copper gutters with oversized downspouts, and Velux triple laminate skylights in the sunroom, and a state-of-the-art Bosche HVAC system with 3 zones has just been installed. The chimney has been repointed and flashed with copper, and new chimney toppers with rain hats have been installed. All downspouts lead to new underground storm laterals utilizing ‘schedule 40’ PVC pipes that daylight far from the building footprint in the pachysandra. A 20kw generator, new security system with surveillance cameras, high-grade mechanicals, replaced storm windows, newer septic and sump pump with battery backup will ensure your comfort and peace of mind at all times. The property by also features a new electrical sub-distribution panel, majority Lutron Decora outlets and switches, Panasonic exhaust fans with copper roof vents in all baths and upgraded gas service capacity with the meter moved outside the home.
