Tucked along a quiet lane in Lower Merion Township, this move-in-ready residence blends timeless architecture with thoughtful updates and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A stone walkway leads to a gated front terrace and covered entry, setting a gracious tone from the start. Step inside to a grand two-story foyer with a curved staircase and detailed millwork — a hallmark of Mahoney construction. Throughout the home, you’ll find extensive built-ins, decorative trim, and hardwood floors that unify each space. To the left of the foyer, a private home office features custom cabinetry, plantation shutters, and access to one of two main-level powder rooms. The formal living room offers oversized windows framing views of the tree-lined rear yard, a gas fireplace, and more built-ins. Through a wide cased opening, a sunlit sitting room provides the perfect nook for reading or morning coffee, with French door access to the rear deck. Designed for both daily living and entertaining, the formal dining room features arched windows, plantation shutters, and another set of French doors opening to the deck for effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The gourmet kitchen is anchored by a large island and abundant prep space, complete with granite countertops, Wolf, Thermador, and Sub Zero appliances, gas cooking, double ovens, and a generous pantry. The adjoining breakfast area opens to the front terrace — an ideal spot for casual meals or quiet mornings. The great room offers a soaring vaulted ceiling, built-ins, and a floor-to-ceiling brick hearth surrounding one of the home’s four gas fireplaces. A tiled mudroom connects the 3-car side-entry garage, includes a secondary powder room, storage closet, and convenient laundry closet with stacked washer & dryer. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat with a Juliet balcony, sitting area, and a gas fireplace. The en suite bath features dual vanities and closets, a jetted soaking tub, and a step-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the fourth is a spacious junior suite. The large main laundry room with Bosch washer & dryer, cabinetry and counter space completes the upper level, along with walk-up access to a floored attic with two cedar closets for additional storage. A rear staircase conveniently connects the upper level to the kitchen. The finished lower level offers incredible flexibility with a den and the home’s fourth fireplace, a private 5th bedroom or flex room overlooking the yard, a full bath, sauna, and a rubber-floored gym with walkout access. The unfinished areas provide abundant storage and utility space. Additional highlights include four-zone HVAC, a whole-house generator, and a central vacuum system. Perfectly located just minutes from Villanova University, top-rated Lower Merion schools, local shops, and major commuter routes, 841 Mt. Moro Road offers refined living in a highly desirable Main Line setting. * * Please do not drive down private lane without an appointment. * *

About
Villanova
Villanova, located between Bryn Mawr and Wayne, is a Main Line and collegiate Radnor Township neighborhood with stone manors and leafy rail-side lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Lancaster Avenue at Ithan Avenue, where coffee counters, small eateries, and campus-day foot traffic set a steady rhythm. Villanova University’s Gothic halls and athletic venues shape the streetscape, while the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line threads through at Villanova Station. Residential blocks mix Tudor Revival, Colonial, and mid-century homes behind mature trees and fieldstone walls. Chanticleer Garden and the Radnor Trail add a green counterpoint to the academic core.
