Set high on a quiet, tree-lined street, this 3,500 square foot residence with a circular driveway offers beautiful treetop views and total seclusion. Two of the five bedrooms feature private decks, ideal for morning coffee, sunning or toasting sunset with a glass of wine. The open-concept main level features a sun-drenched eat-in kitchen with a large island, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Wrapped in windows, the sunny breakfast nook is the perfect start to any day. The main floor also includes a spacious family room, dining area, powder room, and access to the attached two-car garage.

Two additional bedrooms—one with its own private deck—share a stylish hall bathroom with dual sinks and elegant marble finishes. Just four steps down from the main level, you'll find two more bedrooms and a full hall bathroom—one bedroom includes a cozy sitting area—along with a generous great room that opens to a heated sunroom which leads outside to a stone patio, perfect for both indoor and outdoor entertaining. The flat, elevated lawn is there for dining al fresco or letting kids and pets play freely in the fully enclosed backyard. Downstairs, the finished basement offers flexible space for a home gym, family room or office. And tucked behind a hidden bookcase? Your very own secret speakeasy pub with a hand-poured epoxy floor—a true conversation starter. Enjoy summer days by the heated swimming pool, complete with a poolside cabana and gas fire pit for year-round entertaining. Just minutes from schools, the Ellis Preserve hub of local shops and restaurants, parks such as Skunk Hollow, the Willows and Chanticleer with easy access to Center City and the airport—this home truly has both convenience and serenity. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of the Main Line’s most coveted neighborhoods.

Your hilltop fortress has arrived. This amazing property in award-winning Radnor Township School District provides breathtaking views on a secluded and peaceful lot. The home offers 3,500 square feet of living space, complete with five bedrooms and three and one half baths. Extensive renovations were just carried out including a brand-new state of the art kitchen with very high-end stainless appliances, custom wood cabinetry and granite countertops. Bathrooms were also completely redone, top to bottom, including marble floors, contemporary vanities and top quality fixtures. The bedroom-sized master closet has been totally outfitted by renowned California Closets. There is also a private terrace off the master bedroom. A brand new roof was just installed, along with new gutters, as well as a new and highly-efficient gas furnace and air conditioner. Over-the-top Emtek door hardware throughout, with all exterior doors keyed alike (one key opens every door). The entire house is pre-wired for cable and ethernet, with jacks in every bedroom and common areas of the house, including outdoors. The swimming pool has been overhauled and serviced, ready to enjoy for the summer, and there is also a South Beach style cabana and a gas fire pit on the pool deck to complete the resort feel.
