Description

Welcome to this custom-built, over 6,500 square foot architectural masterpiece, peacefully perched along the 3rd fairway of the Philadelphia Country Club. Perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking, storybook views, this remarkable residence offers the rare opportunity to live in harmony with nature, all while enjoying the sophistication of thoughtfully designed interiors. From the moment you step through the front door, you are immediately struck by the grandeur of the soaring two-story foyer. A sweeping circular staircase anchors the space, setting an elegant tone that seamlessly transitions throughout the home. The open floor plan is a celebration of light and space, where natural light pours in from every angle through oversized windows that frame the picturesque golf course backdrop. The flow between formal and informal spaces is effortless, ideal for both grand entertaining and intimate daily living. The formal living and dining rooms offer refined millwork and architectural detail, while the expansive sunken Great Room exudes warmth and character with its commanding stone fireplace and walls of glass that draw in the beauty of the outdoors. Sunken into this space is a custom built-in bar—an ideal setting to sit and enjoy a drink while taking in the ambiance of the fireplace and the serene outdoor setting beyond. Extending the full length of the home is a fabulous covered porch that serves as a true outdoor living room, providing the perfect space for year-round enjoyment. This stunning feature can be accessed from the Great Room, living room, and dining room, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow and making it an entertainer’s dream. A gourmet kitchen sits at the heart of the home, beautifully appointed with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, a spacious center island, and walk-in pantry. Just off the kitchen, the breakfast area features a custom built-in banquette, creating an inviting and functional space for casual meals and gatherings. One of the most coveted features is the first-floor primary suite—a true sanctuary—featuring a cozy fireplace, separate his and her walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa-like bathroom complete with steam shower. Also located on the main level is a second bedroom that is currently transformed into the most precious nursery, adding versatility and warmth to the home’s layout. The main level is completed by a richly appointed home office, where custom mahogany built-in bookcases, cabinetry, and fireplace create a warm, sophisticated environment. A formal powder room is conveniently located off the foyer, while an informal powder room is thoughtfully tucked near the mudroom. The mudroom also provides direct access to the oversized garage, which offers ample space for vehicles and storage, and is equipped with an electric vehicle charging plug, blending practicality with modern luxury. Ascend to the second floor via the sweeping staircase, where an open balcony captures the exquisite foyer below and connects four additional bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms are ensuite, each with beautifully updated baths, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The fourth bedroom is generously sized and can serve as an additional guest room, playroom, or upstairs office with an outdoor balcony. The finished walk-out lower level offers endless possibilities for recreation and relaxation, with abundant natural light and direct access to the backyard. This level includes a full bathroom and can easily accommodate a home gym, game room, wine cellar, or home theater, allowing you to tailor the space to your lifestyle. The grounds are equally impressive with a manicured lawn, lush landscaping, and the showstopping covered porch that ties it all together—an extraordinary setting for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the serene views of the fairway. This exceptional home on Stony Lane is a rare opportunity to live luxuriously in the heart of Gladwyne. Showings begin May 1st.
