Welcome home to Rydal, one of the most sought after neighborhoods in all of Abington. Come see why this community was voted as one of the best places to live in the country by Money Magazine. This stately, English Tudor sits on almost a full acre and truly exemplifies the finest craftsmanship of its era. When you mix in the keen eye for detail in the modern amenities, you have the best of both worlds. The amount of artistic influence that has gone into construction of this architectural marvel is beyond anything we see today. The stone was locally quarried and when you combine that with the precision of the mill work and carpentry, this home demonstrates the power of the ages. There is real leaded glass, arched door ways, open flow and a commanding entry way to welcome you in. The open concept layout feels like that of a spacious colonial. The home has undergone a painstaking transformation in bringing the modern aspect into the light with excellent planning and execution. The spacious kitchen was appointed with the finest of details from Sub-Zero refrigerator, to custom cabinetry, quartz counter tops, overhead lighting, top of the line, stainless steel appliances and wonderful sight lines as it overlooks a great room. Ideal for entertaining in this warm and welcoming space. Off the kitchen sits a breakfast nook with separate sink and built in cabinets. Also off the ktichen is the dining room, appointed by raised panel, pocket doors for extra privacy. Spacious living room boasts random width, pegged oak, hardwood flooring and rarely seen, Mercer Tile fireplace surround from the Moravian Pottery and Tileworks. Mercer tile was for the elite of the time and can even be seen in the main floor powder room as well. The turned staircase leading up from the center hall has beautiful architectural appointments. The master retreat feels like you've set foot in the finest spa. From the river rock shower floor in the oversized shower, to the earthy appointments on the shelving and heated flooring, only the best ideas to blend this piece of artwork with the prestige of the home. The master has a spacious walk-in closet with closet system and additional built ins for seasonal storage and plenty of natural lighting with its south easterly exposure. The secondary bedrooms are spacious and there is even a brand new Jack and Jill bathroom with all the stops pulled out to create another spa-like feel of this magnificent upgrade. 3 full baths on the second floor. The 4th bedroom, currently used as a study, has its own full bathroom and is completely cozy and unique. Exposed stone in the office brings the outside in as it overlooks a recent fully renovated salt water pool and spa with pebble finish, surrounded by beautiful slate and has privacy galore and an area that can accommodate an outdoor fire put.

RARELY does a home so lovely in both presentation and location become available in desirable Rydal! Dramatic circular driveway leads to an exquisitely appointed 1930s classic English Tudor crafted with steep slate roof lines, dormered windows, hand-troweled stucco and Wissahickon schist. Impressively set back on a professionally landscaped 1 acre lot with curb appeal to make any owner feel proud. Meticulously modernized, this once estate 'carriage home' has been architecturally modified with many crown jewels including a 'show-stopping' kitchen, great room and den. Follow the front yard garden pathway through the 'statement-making' front door to over 4,000 sf of original design details like leaded glass windows, wood floors and treasured Mercer tiles. Philadelphia icon in kitchen design, Joanne Hudson, and lighting architect, Ray Grenald, were integral in modifying the space and character of this special home. Large center hall sets the stage for a classic Colonial layout with dining room to the right and living room to the left. Custom millwork, built-ins & closets have been incorporated throughout. The gourmet kitchen/great room was 'blown out' in 2000 to open the space for great cooking and entertaining. Large kitchen island is surrounded by inset custom cabinets, high-end appliances, Sub-Zero fridge, quartz counters & Pella windows. Complemented by a breakfast area, gardener sink and rear stairwell makes this room the 'heart' of the house. The dining room flows off the kitchen divided by raised paneled pocket doors. The elegant living room with original hand-carved fireplace mantle, impeccable millwork and lighting leads to a family room addition. Addition design elements include original exterior stone wall, reclaimed wood beams, custom shelves and a wall of windows with slider to the composite deck and side-yard pool; private and reminiscent of a 5-star retreat. The center staircase leads directly to the upstairs office with vaulted ceiling and custom shelving. Master bedroom suite is customized with built-ins, walk-in closet and master bath with soaking tub & frameless shower. Two large upstairs bedrooms (one currently used as a second office) share a hall bath with double sinks and large shower. Fourth bedroom off the rear stairwell has a private, full bath. Second floor laundry. Zoned Heat/AC. Fenced-in side yard. In-ground sprinkler system. Minutes to Rydal train station, Whole Foods Market & local hospitals. A must see property!
