Stately in stone and surrounded by beautiful lush landscaping, this Classic 3-story Colonial in the quintessential family friendly neighborhood of Merion Park near award-winning schools and all amenities is truly a prized property. Mature plantings, street sidewalks and a private driveway grace the exterior, as does a flagstone with brick border walkway that welcomes your entry. Flagstone and brick terraces and a spacious fenced yard provide tranquil outdoor spaces. Greeting you inside is a surprisingly striking and modern entry foyer with black and white marble flooring, a wood staircase and coat closet. Double doors open into the airy living room with hardwood floors, a grand fireplace with stone surround, built-in bookcases and cabinetry, and sunny windows on 3 exposures. Two separate doors open out to the covered porch where you can relax and read in peace. The dining room with hardwood floors, decorative moldings and double exposures offers a comfortable, elegant ambiance for mealtime with family and guests. A favorite gathering spot is the light-filled chef's kitchen that's exceptionally roomy and sleek, with white cabinetry, a vaulted ceiling, tiled flooring and backsplash, center island with black granite countertop, and stainless steel appliances that include a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Thermador gas cooktop, KitchenAid double wall oven and Kenmore dishwasher. A dining counter, generous built-in storage and a work station with desk provide added convenience. Adjacent to the kitchen is an open breakfast area and family room with tiled flooring, perfect for enjoying casual time together. Watch a movie or hang out with loved ones around the fireplace.
