Property Description
Impeccable Gardner Fox renovations undertaken in this exquisite Cape. Fully updated in 2004, and then expanded in 2014, this elegant home on .87 acres has been upgraded in every possible aspect. Beyond a gated entrance with stone piers proceeds a Belgian block-lined paver driveway toward a circular drive with a center fountain inspiring solitude. Natural privacy screening protects your grounds from the sights and sounds of the road, and provides total sanctuary-like surroundings. The extensive hardscaping and landscaping including the large heat-resistant travertine terrace/patio and lush, lovely plantings were done by area experts Plymouth Nurseries. Inside and out, this home is perfect for gatherings of youngsters and adults alike. The finely-crafted interior, professionally decorated in the highest taste, is adorned with quality finishes and modern materials. So many features are worth mentioning, but among the most notable are stately columns, elaborate moldings, millwork and built-ins; oversized windows and light galore; a fabulous living room, dining room, sunroom for conversing and entertaining; a gourmet chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances and gorgeous cabinetry; 4 generously-sized bedrooms in the main home with a sumptuous first-floor master suite featuring elaborately fitted closet space and a luxurious bath; a wonderful new family room addition designed and built by Gardner Fox in 2014-2015 with custom cabinetry by Village Handcrafted Cabinetry, audio, video, lighting and shading by the premier smart home audio/video company Artistic Video and Sound with each of these elements as well as the Lutron shading and thermostats that are controlled by a touch of your smartphone. In addition, the home features built-in surround sound in the den, high-end integrated speakers throughout plus outdoor lighting and audio on the patio. Optimizing the allure is a full finished basement with fitness, rec and laundry rooms; a detached 3-car garage with a 707 square foot studio apartment (5th Bedroom)/home office/au pair-in law suite upstairs with a kitchenette and full bath; a whole-house generator for backup power; high-tech security system; central AC; a built-in patio grill for BBQs and al fresco dining ? all topped off by an excellent address and short walk to the Bryn Mawr train station.
