This description paints a vivid picture of an extraordinary residence, where every detail has been carefully crafted to create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. The original owners clearly spared no expense or imagination in designing this custom-built contemporary home. From the mature perennial gardens to the two-tiered massive deck, every outdoor space is designed for relaxation and entertaining. Inside, the entrance foyer sets the tone for simple elegance, leading to formal living with a fireplace, adjacent formal dining room with custom built-ins, and access to a screened-in flagstone patio. The home features stunning hardwood flooring, complementing the Pella windows that allow natural light to flood the spaces, particularly benefiting from the southern exposure lot. Soaring ceilings add to the grandeur, creating an open and airy feel in every room. The gourmet kitchen is sure to delight any chef, with a breakfast area, while the family room with its built-in bar area and fireplace provides access to the solarium and rear decks. The highlight of the home, undoubtedly, is the two-story stone solarium, a tranquil oasis flooded with natural light—a true sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. The first-floor master suite offers a retreat-like experience, complete with a substantial, modern master bathroom and convenient access to the solarium. Additional bedrooms on the second level provide ample space for family or guests, with two additional full bathrooms and plenty of closet space. There is a balcony room overlooking the living room that further enhances the appeal. There is an unfinished basement with an outside exit offering plenty of storage, a two-car oversized attached garage, and a driveway with stone pillars, providing both practicality and luxury in abundance. Exposed stone and pine ceilings adorn many of the main rooms, while the cedar and stone exterior adds to the home's distinguished appearance. Custom lighting enhances both the interior and exterior of this magnificent property, situated on 1.480 acres of meticulously maintained grounds and landscaping. The flagstone patio and walkway entrance welcome you to this stately property, ensuring that you will not be disappointed. It's no surprise that a property of this caliber would be highly coveted within Merion Station.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
