Elegant English Tudor style home on a beautiful, professionally landscaped property. Homes in this cluster of coveted properties rarely come on the market as owners hold onto them for decades. Walk a half block to commuter rail for a convenient, short ride to center city Philadelphia or to many stops on the Main Line, east and west. Walking distance to a farmer's market, restaurants, and downtown Wayne, and close to many shops, libraries, eateries, parks, trails, nightlife, and grocery stores. Well-located for easy access to many major highways. Top-rated Tredyffrin-Easttown schools and very low taxes. The stunning, massive arched front door looks like it belongs on a venerable English castle. A handsome, custom electronic garage door enables convenient entry into the house from inside the garage. A spacious, well-designed deck provides easy access from the kitchen for relaxation with privacy or for entertaining. Two staircases lead from the deck to the back lawn and to a large brick patio for barbecuing where there's plenty of space for a firepit, as well. Paver walkways provide access to the deck and patio from the driveway. Security lighting along the entire perimeter of the house lights the way with motion detection as one steps from each zone into the next. Security cameras allow for photo capture as well. The eat-in kitchen with radiant heat in the floor draws everyone into that pleasing room. Included is a top-rated, ultra-quiet Miele dishwasher. Back stairs from the kitchen meet the main staircase for extra privacy. A full-size dining room allows for easy entertaining and has an elegant chandelier imported from Italy. A handsome wood inlay star medallion in the floor transitions from outside a half bathroom, down several oak stairs to a tiled laundry room. There is a utility sink here with a high-volume faucet for quick filling. This laundry room has a back door to the patio, and also leads inside to the full-size unfinished basement. Off the living room is an enclosed porch/sunroom with large windows and room to accommodate an office setup. On the second floor, the Master Bedroom with ensuite bathroom adjoins a second bedroom which can be used as a nursery, sitting room or office. Off the hall is another full bathroom as well as a bedroom with an adjoining bonus room. On the third floor is an ensuite bedroom/bathroom with a clawfoot tub. An additional bonus room has numerous possibilities. The professional perennial landscaping has something in bloom from late winter until late fall, providing significant privacy in the backyard and serene beauty all around the property. Stained glass windows in the front door as well as in the foyer, cast colors onto the walls in the sunlight. The house features significant natural lighting from the many windows which include singular styles characteristic of English Tudors. This is a very special property, boasting exceptional aesthetic desirability as well as convenient location. More photos to follow. Please click on the Property Owner link below.
