Welcome to this beautifully updated McElroy Contemporary, offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a serene, treetop setting on a quiet street—just a short walk to local schools, train and restaurants. Blending timeless design with thoughtful updates, this home combines natural beauty, modern finishes, and flexible living spaces. Step into the main living level and you’ll immediately notice the oversized windows that flood the home with natural light and offer spectacular views, creating a tranquil, treehouse-like ambiance. Two gas fireplaces—one on the main level and another in the lower-level living area—add warmth and charm throughout. Solid wood and glass doors have been newly installed across the interior, enhancing the home’s modern aesthetic and craftsmanship. The updated kitchen features sleek, contemporary finishes and flows effortlessly into the surrounding living areas. A gas line is already in place behind the electric range, offering easy conversion if preferred. Both the primary and guest bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, with clean lines, stylish fixtures, and added luxuries like body sprays in the guest bath. The finished lower level provides a flexible space perfect for a private suite, guest quarters, or in-law arrangement. Utility highlights include an owner-owned propane tank and natural gas availability at the street, offering efficient heating options now and in the future. This distinctive home offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, quality updates and impeccable maintenance, including a newer roof and ongoing maintenance contracts for pest control, HVAC and the generator. Home has more than abundant storage areas in multiple closets, an oversized garage and a lower level utility room. Don’t miss your chance to tour this unique retreat—schedule your private showing today. At the owner's request, there will be no Open Houses.

This contemporary home offers a serene, retreat-like ambiance nestled among wooded surroundings. The main floor impresses with its spacious kitchen featuring ample storage, alongside a dining area, living room, and an owner’s suite. The lower level...
houses three additional bedrooms, a family room with walkout access, and a laundry area, with direct entry to the garage. A further descent reveals a basement/storage space. While the property lacks a traditional backyard due to its sloping terrain, it is complemented by beautifully landscaped walking trails adjacent to the house.

Seemingly carved out of the hillside and nestled among the tree tops this gorgeous home blends seamlessly with the Nature surrounding it! Designed by Robert McElroy in his signature style, this beauty features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, walls of windows, massive fireplace structure, elevated decks with beautiful views, incredible flow (throughout the interior and inside to outside), and raised decks with beautiful views of this mini canyon-like setting. The main living area and master suite are on the upper level and the other bedrooms on the lower level. McElroy's homes have a bit of a cult following and the owners often see themselves as caretakers of a legacy. The current owners are no exception and have poured a lot of love into updating the home while staying true to its contemporary roots. The last year has seen the installation of a new kitchen with cherry cabinets, beautiful quartz counters, stainless appliances and countertop dining for 6. Brazilian cherry and tile floors have replaced the carpeting on much of the main level and the driveway has been resurfaced from bottom to top. The master suite is truly a sanctuary. Step outside to your own balcony and enjoy beautiful views of the valley below. The tiled en-suite bath is beautifully appointed with soaking tub, frameless shower enclosure, double vanity with top mounted ceramic bowls, and dual flush toilet. The lower level has a cozy recreation room with fireplace and three additional bedrooms. The hall bath is positively stylin'! Amazing Tredyffrin-Eastown Schools and easy access to city and suburban business centers. Don't let the name of the road fool you. This stretch of road is mostly ignored and is very lightly traveled. Stop in for a tour and you'll feel like you are on "Top of the World"!
