Nestled behind its majestic gates, this Bryn Mawr Estate, graced with a charming courtyard, unveils an oasis of serenity amidst stunningly landscaped grounds. A haven of privacy, yet conveniently close to the allure of The Main Line, Center City Philadelphia, and transportation hubs, including Acela Trains and Philadelphia International Airport. Meticulously transformed by its current owner, every detail of this residence exudes exquisite craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Inspired by the luminous design of La Lanterne in Versailles, renowned for its interplay of light akin to a lantern's glow, this home captures the essence of illuminated grandeur. Sun-drenched rooms, adorned with floor-to-ceiling French doors, offer enchanting views of the sprawling gardens, suffusing the interiors with a warm radiance. The magnificent drive leading to the estate is a picturesque avenue, flanked by centennial Linden trees, offering a majestic entrance to this architectural masterpiece. With 12-foot ceilings enhancing the sense of grandeur, the space seamlessly accommodates both grand gatherings and intimate family moments. Awaiting its final touch, gourmet kitchen and family room area promises to elevate the culinary experience. The luxurious Master Suite, adorned with marble bath and a domed ceiling sitting room, provides a sanctuary of indulgence. Six additional bedrooms, ideal for office space or guest retreats, complemented by seven full bathrooms and two powder rooms, ensure comfort and convenience. Further enhancing the estate's allure are amenities such as an attached 6-car garage, a tennis court with a pavilion, and a natural stream-fed pond, harmoniously blending with the verdant gardens. Poised on an expansive 5.82-acre lot along a prestigious restricted lane, this treasure awaits those seeking the epitome of refined living.
