"Boxwood", a Main Line Landmark, is a gracious 5-6 bedrooms/ 5.5 baths gated Country Manor with an independent 1 bed/1 bath apartment above the 3 car Garage. It sits on over an acre of exquisite private gardens made of hundreds of perennial plants blooming or changing color constantly during the year and completely fenced in and with pool. The walled formal garden is the hidden jewel, a true piece of "outdoor art". The original house was built over 100 years ago. The different owners (especially the present one) have added on to the existing structure and tastefully updated it creating an enchanting and easy to live in space. Most of the rooms are of very noticeable size, have several windows and at least 2 side exposures: the result is wonderful cheerful spaces constantly full of light. An elegant circular driveway allows plenty of parking space for all the visitors. 1st Floor: front to back center hall with fire place; large Living room with fire place and door to the flagstone patio; spectacular Library (vaulted ceiling with exposed beam, fireplace, built-ins and large glass doors opening onto the patio and the walled garden); enchanting dining room with fireplace, bay windows and outdoor exit (perfect for a small dinner party or as a beautiful banquet room), "grand" kitchen and breakfast room with picturesque bay window; step-down Family room with doors to 2nd patio (part of the most recent 2-story addition), spacious laundry room, side foyer/mud room. 2nd Floor: Master Bedroom suite (added on in 1996); the original master bedroom of the house with fireplace, its own bath and 2 walk-in closet; another very generous size room with connecting bath and a smaller 4th bedroom (office or nursery)with hall bath. 3rd Floor: 2 bedrooms (one quite large) and a hall bath. Above the garage a 800+ sq. ft. apartment that can be accessed from the side foyer or the garage: spacious living room/ dining room combination, small kitchen, large bedroom with computer/office area, full bath. This precious home offers incredible charm and elegance and a very warm feeling.
