Please note- Saturday, April 25, 2026 Open House Canceled. Last year, to make their home perfect, the current owners of one of the prettiest North Bryn Mawr homes in Lower Merion completed a Hardie-Plank recladding of 952 Lafayette Rd. This stunning, sun-filled, modern masterpiece, on over an acre, has much more than a pretty wrapping. Step inside into a dramatic two-story center hall foyer, with sophisticated artistic marble tile and abundant natural light through fabulous, oversized windows. It is your entrance to an open floor plan and design that functions fantastically for both easy everyday living and effortless sophisticated entertaining. Highlights include: A breathtaking gourmet kitchen featuring a 10-foot polished, premium granite, topped island, more counters with leathered granite, top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, two Miele dishwashers, a large appliance garage, two prep sinks, a large pantry, adjacent octagonal breakfast room with beautiful custom chandelier and separate adjacent sunroom with mosaic tiled floor. A large, coffered ceiling, light-filled family room with extensive millwork and fireplace, and a spacious formal dining room. Next, the generous main-level office with custom built-ins and French doors for privacy, and a spacious first-floor guest suite complete with its own en-suite bath, offer unparalleled flexibility for work, guests or multi-generational living. One of the 2 staircases has striking decorative wrought iron balusters with classical detailing. A second staircase is off of the mudroom near the kitchen. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom suite with fireplace, sitting room and luxurious marble bathroom with heated floors and 2 outfitted walk-in closets. Conveniently located on the second floor is a large, well-designed laundry room with generous storage, folding counters, a large sink and custom cabinetry. Three additional generously sized bedrooms with customized closets and two more full baths complete the upper level. The incredible, mostly finished lower level includes a media/theater room, powder room, state-of-the-art gym, additional bedroom with full bath, and a versatile game/playroom. Outside, enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with multiple patios and terraces opening to a private fenced backyard featuring a heated pool with hot tub, extensive hardscaping, professional landscaping, and serene views backing to trees. The two-tiered backyard has a flat area right off the house with a pool and room for a kids play swing, A gentle slope upward with stairs lead to a flat lawn that’s perfect for soccer games or other sports-if the township permits, perhaps a Vibe court! Additional amenities include a 3-car attached garage, mudroom with secondary staircase, zoned heating and cooling, hardwood and marble flooring, and energy-efficient features throughout. This home delivers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and functionality on the Main Line. What's more the taxes have been reduced approx. $11,000 by successful appeal & are now a more reasonable $36,111. The property is conveniently located near top-rated Lower Merion schools (Gladwyne Elementary, Black Rock Middle, Harriton High), private schools, universities, shopping, dining, clubs, recreational venues, major transportation routes, and Philadelphia International Airport. A true turnkey opportunity in one of Bryn Mawr’s most desirable North Side neighborhoods—move right in and enjoy exceptional living at its finest.
