Surrounded by mature landscaping, impressive stonework, and an in-ground pool, this exceptional residence offers gracious living spaces, timeless architectural details, and a wonderful connection to its spectacular, unique outdoor setting. Elegant crescent stairs lead to the main entrance and a sun-kissed foyer featuring marble tile and a soaring vaulted ceiling.

Step up into the expansive formal dining room with rich wood floors and French doors opening directly to the rear patio. At the heart of the home is the gourmet chef's kitchen, thoughtfully designed with top-of-the-line appliances, a large center island with prep sink, abundant cabinetry, and generous workspace. The adjoining sun-filled breakfast room is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and features built-in bench seating overlooking the grounds, along with two sets of French doors providing seamless access to the patio. The inviting family room offers exposed beams, a brick accent wall, fireplace, and beautiful views of the property. A wet bar and convenient powder room make this space perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Privately positioned down the hall, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat featuring its own fireplace, private access to the rear patio, a dressing area with custom built-ins and vanity, two walk-in closets, and two separate primary bathrooms. One offers a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower, while the second features a spacious walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, including one with a private en-suite bathroom, a full hall bathroom, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the main level. The lower level provides even more versatility with a spacious playroom or flex space, an additional bedroom, and a full bathroom with a sauna—an ideal arrangement for an au pair, guests, a home office, a gym, or extended living space. Ample storage and interior access to the 2-car garage complete this level. Outside, the property is truly special. Nearly two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds surround the home, highlighted by an in-ground swimming pool, extensive stonework, mature plantings, multiple patio areas, and a circular driveway. Ideally located within the award-winning Lower Merion School District, this exceptional Penn Valley residence offers a quick commute to Center City Philadelphia along with convenient access to major roadways, shopping, dining, and everything the Main Line has to offer. With grand entertaining spaces, flexible accommodations, resort-like grounds, and an exceptional setting, 243 Conshohocken State Road offers a rare combination of privacy, elegance, convenience, and timeless appeal.
Penn Valley, located between Center City and Fairmount Park, is a residential and cultural Philadelphia neighborhood with a museum-lined boulevard and a riverfront trail network. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway near 22nd Street, where broad sidewalks, café patios, and gallery entrances frame a steady museum-day rhythm. The Barnes Foundation, the Rodin Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art act as cultural anchors with a strong sense of place. Housing shifts from classic brick rowhomes to mid-century towers with skyline views. Tree-shaded blocks lead to the Schuylkill River Trail for commuting by bike or a long walk. Logan Square’s fountain and lawns add a civic, open-air pause between errands and exhibitions.
