Welcome to this gracious custom brick colonial situated on a beautifully manicured and private lot in desirable Whitemarsh. As you step inside, you are greeted by an elegant staircase and a grand foyer/parlor area which adjoins the dining room and the fabulous two story great room. The open and light-filled great room offers a gas fireplace, a wall of doors and windows which overlooks the back terrace, a staircase to the second floor and custom floor to ceiling built-ins. Just beyond this dramatic space is the cozy and handsome library, also a perfect place to call an office. The comfortable eat-in chefs kitchen overlooks the magnificent gardens and offers tons of space including two island work spaces, plenty of cabinets, a pantry, a desk area and a spacious breakfast/dining area. The first floor also includes an expansive Master Suite with a lovely sitting area with a gas fireplace. The walk-in closets and huge bathroom with whirlpool tub complete this first floor suite. Upstairs, the second floor hallway overlooks the great room and includes a princess suite and two additional bedrooms. Let's not forget the very large finished walk-out basement. You won't believe the amount of living space and storage space! Other important features include a first floor laundry room and breezeway which connects to the 3 car garage, hardwood floors, central air and gas heating, beautiful millwork and detail throughout . The lot is unlike any other. The home is set back from the road and the back yard is surrounded by woods and bordered by stone walls of what was a quarry, making this property unbelievably private. The gracious and beautifully designed flowering garden with white picket fence reminiscent of an English garden is a little slice of heaven offering ongoing blooms throughout the season. Centrally located, minutes to area shopping, Chestnut Hill, area golf courses and so much more. Don't miss out on a wonderful opportunity to live in a turn- key home in a terrific location!
