Extraordinary residential family compound in the utmost private location, with a long, elegant tree-lined drive and remarkable grounds of nearly three acres with gorgeous views. Located on one of Villanova's most exclusive and sought after cul-de-sacs, timeless landscape architecture enhances this classic Main Line setting which began with a pedigree from the renowned Philadelphia residential architect, Walter Durham. Enter the front door to the tiled entrance foyer, with 'straight thru' views and abundant natural light. Foyer opens to a gracious transverse center hall, with a traditional colonial floor plan, and flows to the formal living room, dining room and library, all with beautiful, random-width hardwood floors. Foyer flows to the fabulous butler's pantry and wet bar, which open to the magnificent kitchen and great room addition. Enter the white on white island kitchen, which opens fully under a lighted, parabolic archway to the great room with fireplace. Kitchen and great room have double doors out to the flagstone patio and courtyard garden. Kitchen has pretty hardwood floors, double wall ovens, Sub Zero refrigerator, electric cooktop, twin sinks at a double corner kitchen window with astonishing views out over the patio, and green, granite countertops. There is a small kitchen desk with seating with built-in shelving units for printer. Relax in the sun-filled adjacent great room with unique architectural design and wonderful open flow off the kitchen with vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, flat screen TV with sound system, beautiful millwork, moldings, hardwood floors, views of the private drive and stunning landscaped grounds. It is here where classic luxury is felt and lived but is never showy. Main floor owners' bedroom suite is just off the library and hall, pronounced by the lighted rotunda. This beyond-first-class, ultra-private luxe suite has H/H bathrooms, extensive closet systems, a walk-out door to the raised deck, and hideaway access to the Library and fireplace for true, one-level living at its finest. Just off the entrance hall foyer are the stairs to the second floor landing. Here are three family bedrooms, generous in size and scale. The first bedroom has an en suite full tile bathroom, closet and pretty windows. Bedrooms two and three share a full hall bathroom. The walk out, partially finished lower level is currently in use as a WFH office and sitting area with WTW carpeting. Office connects to the full laundry room and to storage and mechanicals rooms. Mechanicals include a whole house, back -up electrical generator power system. House has twin LP gas tanks, above-ground, for the gas fireplaces. The jewel box apartment over the heated, detached, three car garage is immaculate. Steps up to the landing have kitchenette and dining area, sitting area and full bath, along with French doors out to the Juliet balcony, with sensational views and then the sunny bedroom area, with more pretty windows. Apartment has all first class finishes, cabinetry and appliances, built-ins, hardwood flooring and white carpeting, just adorable. Perfect for au-pair, adult children, newlyweds or in-law suite.
