This spectacular three-story expanded Colonial sits on a private, beautifully landscaped 1.4-acre lot on a quiet Northside Villanova cul-de-sac. Warm, yet sophisticated, this "Forever house” is a rare opportunity, set on one of the most desirable lanes in Villanova. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, the home blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, offering space for both grand entertaining and everyday living. From the gourmet chef’s kitchen to a custom pub room, a wine cellar, and lush grounds with pool and spa—every space has been designed with comfort and style in mind. Enter the property through stone pillars on either side of the circular drive.

The adjoining dining room is perfect for large gatherings, while the oversized family room connects to the elegant step-down living room with gas fireplace, crown moldings, French doors, and serene yard views. Just off the kitchen is a mudroom with built-ins and garage access. A breezeway/sunroom leads to the custom pub room, paneled with reclaimed wood from a Chicago speakeasy, complete with electric fireplace, powder room, and French doors to the fire pit area and backyard—an entertainer’s dream. This versatile space could also function as a private office with its own entrance. The finished lower level offers a 1,500-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, gym, laundry, and storage.
