Welcome to peace and serenity! Follow a flowing country road through the coveted Haverford Reserve. Enter your private drive to be greeted by a home which will make you smile. Stroll the PA flagstone walkway through a trellis into a small courtyard and take note of the expansive covered front porch. Prior to walking in, turn around and take in the wooded panoramic landscape. Picture yourself sitting on one of the rocking chairs sipping your morning coffee or evening wine while listening to the sounds of songbirds. Now enter to be equally delighted by this bright, open and airy home. Take note of the gleaming hardwood floors that lead throughout and the floating staircase above. To your left you have the perfect size living room that flows through French doors into a four-season sunroom, which is being used as a music room and bar/serving area for festivities. To the right of the foyer you have the perfect size dining room that easily expands to fit your largest of family gatherings. The family room is an impressive work of art with multiple windows allowing the natural sunlight to pour in and a magnificent floor to ceiling, stacked-stone gas fireplace, which will warm your souls on cool winter nights. The kitchen is nothing less than a chef~s dream with premium wood cabinetry, granite counter tops, a large island with barstool seating, matching stainless steel appliances including dual ovens, two pantries, an office area, a butler station with a wine fridge and a Florida room with skylights with a wonderful ~homework station~ with built-ins for two. This main level continues on to a theater room or guest bedroom with pocket doors, a well-appointed half bathroom and a mudroom which could be converted to a first floor laundry room. Stroll upstairs to the living quarters to find 3 to 4 oversized bedrooms, one which has been converted into a laundry and craft room. It can be easily converted back to a bedroom. Enter the Master Bedroom through double doors to find your perfect oasis. Here you have a tray ceiling, a wall of windows with window seat and absolutely magnificent backyard wooded views. Next, an impressive master bathroom with a vaulted ceiling, deep Jacuzzi tub, heated towel bar, dual modern vanities, a private commode and an expansive shower featuring a steamer with multiple body jets.
