Hardwood...Welcome to 1536 James Rd, a classic Colonial with expansion offering a contemporary renovation while honoring the home’s Colonial architecture. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathroom two half bathrooms, this wonderful home is situated in the best location in South Ardmore Park! Stunning views, no noise, no traffic! Enter through the front door to be greeted by the foyer space with vaulted skylight that casts a natural glow on the beautiful staircase, accented by a dark walnut handrail. Hardwood floors span across the living room offering a stunning marble surrounded, wood-burning fireplace. The custom built-ins with solid mahogany shelves reveal double French pocket doors to the great room. Here you will feel the warmth of the radiant heated floors! Warm natural light moves through this large but cozy and very inviting room. Double French doors open to a large wrap-around cedar deck. Back inside to your left of the great room is the mudroom with custom natural cherry wood built-ins and a full-length concrete bench. Outside entry from the driveway provides a convenient access to the mudroom. Follow the heated tile floor to the powder room that echoes the exotic natural cherry cabinets and engineered quartz Ceaserstone counters. A skylight lights up this hallway which leads to the "storage" garage. COntinuing on, turn right from the mudroom and enter the beautifully updated kitchen designed to maximize space with custom pull-out drawers. The stunning designer cabinets are exotic cherry wood dressed with engineered quartz Caesarstone counters and stylish glass backsplash. Full length breakfast bar connects the kitchen to a light-filled, inviting dining room with matching cabinets and countertop. A French door leads to a gorgeous slate and pillared porch for ease of entertaining and a porch swing for summer evenings. Upstairs you will find 4 sizable bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The master bedroom has both a wall of custom fitted closets and a walk-in closet leading to the spa-like luxurious master bath with dramatic double-vaulted skylights, giving you moonlight at night and ambient daylight. Dual vanity and cabinets accent a full mirror that reflects the modern floor-to-ceiling glass tiled shower with bench seat. Two additional updated, full baths (one with Jacuzzi tub) serve the other 3 bedrooms. An absolute bonus upstairs is the conveniently located laundry that was brilliantly moved to be tucked away in the hallway so that an exceptional office could fill the remaining space; the perfect set-up for an in-home office. Last but not least is a finished basement that sits under the original part of the home to provide the perfect rec room/playroom, storage room or whatever your heart desires. All this plus, this corner lot is across the street from South Ardmore Park within Lower Merion School District. Close proximity to a neighborhood favorite, Carlinos, Ardmore train station, downtown Ardmore and Suburban Square with its wide variety of restaurants and shops. This property provides a wonderful lifestyle and home to love and treasure for years to come.
