The heart of the home is the large Great Room, with its cozy stone fireplace and antique wood mantel set against a shiplap wall. The Great Room opens to the beautifully designed Chef's Kitchen, which is sure to play host to hours of endless entertaining. The adjacent Dining Room opens to a wonderful wrap-around porch overlooking the terraced rain garden that sees all manner of springtime songbirds. Flanking the other side of the entryway, the Gathering room doubles as either a formal Living Room or Game Room, providing for hours of family entertainment. Tucked away at the rear of the house is an intimate Office or Study that leads to a flagstone Courtyard Patio. Upstairs there are 4 Bedrooms with 3 fully renovated Bathrooms, each with its own character and one retaining the charm from its role in the original , 100-year-old design. For those looking for old world charm with modern convenience in a 'walk to Wayne' location, in one of the Main Line's premier neighborhoods, 211 Orchard Way presents an excellent value. Pool table is included.

Nestled away in the heart of South Wayne among the magnificent "banker's" homes of Louella, this gem was completely renovated in 2016 to perfectly meld the historic character of the original carriage house with today's modern amenities and open floor plan. No detail was overlooked. Built high into a hill, the house creates the impression of living in the treetops. Noticing first the charming curb appeal, you enter through the Mahoghany dutch door into a bright foyer flanked by a spacious living room and family room featuring the oversized stone fireplace. The kitchen and family room blend together seamlessly, while the large island acts as center stage for your busy life. Custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances and a walk-in pantry make this kitchen a dream. The attached 2 car garage brings you into the mudroom off the kitchen, a great dropzone for books, bags and coats. Also on this floor is an office which could easily be used as a 5th bedroom or a playroom with a full bathroom nearby. Outside, through the dining room, is a stunning wrap around porch that overlooks a beautifully landscaped and private woodland area. The slate patio behind the kitchen is great for outdoor meals or relaxing. The well appointed upstairs features 4 generous bedrooms, 3 modern bathrooms and an upstairs laundry. The Master Suite includes a large bedroom, walk-in closet and a stylish, modern bathroom. Expansive side yard. See attached Survey in Trend. This home is an excellent choice for the discerning buyer who knows the value of its South Wayne location. Seller is a licensed agent
