This is a rare opportunity in one of Lower Merion Township’s most coveted areas, the Village of Gladwyne. An old, tired ugly duckling property has been totally transformed into a beautiful swan that provides over 2800 sq. ft. ; this special home is waiting for its next owners. The home provides incredible living space, featuring all high-end finishes. This well located, attractively planned property has 4 good sized bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Nestled on a lovely wooded lot (1.421 acres), in a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated French Colonial is now ready for a new family to build some special memories. When entering the house, you’re greeted by an impressive 16 ft. foyer with a coffered ceiling. The living room has a fireplace as its main focal point, providing the room with a cozy atmosphere. This room offers infinite adaptability to any décor or color scheme and will provide a lovely area for entertaining or relaxing. In addition, on the main floor, there’s a powder room, a room that can be used as a den, office or sitting area, a family room (leading to a new deck with spectacular views of the wooded backyard), a dining room (with views of the backyard) and the renovated, gourmet kitchen. The kitchen has combined natural wood tone and off white cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless appliances. Also, utilize/enjoy the beautiful waterfall quartz peninsula. Upstairs, you’ll be delighted by the renovations to the 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. If you need additional space (approx. 700 sq. ft. ), then relax in the home’s finished walk-out basement (to new paved driveway), which offers plenty of room for an office or tv room. Also, there’s a laundry room located in this area and a door leading to the 2-car attached garage. In the backyard, enjoy the new stone patio area for lounging/entertaining/grilling out. The renovations have transformed this property; you'll be proud to call this your home. The property's prime location offers privacy, yet it’s only minutes from parks, hiking trails, swimming club, golf course, shopping, restaurants, train station and major transportation routes. Located within the award- winning Lower Merion school district. Neighborhood pride is reflected in the well-kept homes of your future neighbors. An exciting opportunity.
