Surrounded by lush greenery on an expansive 1.63 acre lot, this recently renovated manor captivates all with its incredible views, remote privacy, and impeccable details. Located in the highly sought-after town of Haverford, this 6+ bedroom, 5.5 bathroom residence truly exceeds all expectations. As you approach the long driveway, you are greeted by an extravagant front yard with manicured hedges and vibrant foliage. A flagstone walkway welcomes you to a tasteful wooden front door at the main entrance. Upon entry there is a vast two-story foyer that showcases the extensive open layout and exquisite millwork throughout the main floor, transitional architecture, and decorous finishes that combine established design and modern amenities. Directly off the foyer to the left sits a bright and airy living room adorned with a brand new wood-burning stone surround fireplace and a classic wooden mantle, handsome chair railing and crown molding, artistic hardwood flooring, and recessed lighting. Make your way across the hall to the formal dining room decorated with an abundance of natural light, a beamed ceiling, direct access to the rear yard stone patio, chair railing, crown molding, and plenty of space to comfortably host endless dinner parties. The dining room seamlessly flows into the gourmet chef’s kitchen equipped with glistening granite countertops and island, stainless steel appliances including a farmhouse sink and 6 burner gas stove and a plethora of wooden cabinetry. A cozy breakfast area with direct access to the rear patio completes the kitchen. Nestled in the rear of the home and open to the kitchen, is the expansive great room anchored by a substantial stone surround gas fireplace, and detailed with oversized windows, ultra high cathedral ceilings with exposed wooden beams, and oversized windows. The main floor is finished with a private office space, a full tiled bathroom with a glass stall shower and a stone floored mudroom that leads to the attached two-car garage. Take the grand front wooden staircase to the second floor and find your way to the primary suite, which elegantly features a sumptuous sitting area, expansive windows, a large walk-in closet, tray ceiling, hardwood and carpeted flooring, and recessed lighting. The exclusive, zen-like ensuite bath features a dual vanity, intimate soaking tub, and a large glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms can be found on this floor, each accented with hardwood flooring and ample closet space. Two bedrooms enjoy a full hall bathroom, with the third bedroom equipped with its own private ensuite bath. Rounding out the second floor is a convenient laundry area. On your way to the third floor, you will come across a quaint reading nook on the landing with a built-in bookshelf. The third and final floor boasts two generously sized rooms that can be utilized as additional bedrooms, office spaces, or play areas complete with a shared bathroom. The massive lower level of this home has everything you are looking for to host your next gathering of family and friends. This neatly tiled space includes a granite top bar, second living area, large fitness studio area, an immense amount of storage opportunities, and a convenient half bathroom. Exit the home through one of the many main-level glass exterior doors to the recently expanded fenced rear yard. This amazing outdoor living/entertaining area fits seamlessly into the property with a brand-new custom stone patio, yards of rolling green grass and mature landscaping. Ask for the architectural plans for a swimming pool in the raised area. Situated in the heart of Delaware County, this home sits within a few mile radius of countless golf courses with close proximity to Merion Golf Club, restaurants, and major shopping. 217 Marple Road finds itself in the Haverford School District, with many prestigious private schools in the area as well.

Pleasant curb appeal because of the clean exterior and the landscaping. There is some traffic noise from I-476 but it is not audible from the interior. Spacious well-maintained interior.
