Discover expansive, sun-filled interiors and an unrivaled outdoor oasis in this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom showplace ideally located on Tower Lane — one of Penn Valley's most coveted no-through-traffic streets. While this utterly peaceful, nearly one-acre property feels worlds away, it's just minutes from Narberth amenities and nationally recognized Lower Merion schools. Verdant mature landscaping, including gorgeous Japanese maples, leafy shrubs and old-growth trees, set this magnificent residence apart the moment you arrive. A charming flagstone path and covered porch invite you inside the 3,600-square-foot split-level home filled with stunning stone and hardwood floors, exceptional millwork, bright windows and tall ceilings. A gracious marble foyer with an extra-large coat closet invites you into a sprawling living room lined with oversized windows. Entertain alongside a crystal chandelier in the formal dining room, or bask in glorious natural light and idyllic outdoor views in the adjacent sunroom wrapped in six huge skylights and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. With a gas fireplace and ample footprint, this sunny space is sure to become a favorite all-season indoor-outdoor gathering spot. The open gourmet kitchen impresses with white custom cabinetry, abundant pantry storage, granite counters and a fleet of stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner gas range, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher and built-in microwave. A bright breakfast area with a long buffet counter and cabinetry is perfect for casual meals or entertaining. Step outside to plan spectacular al fresco entertaining on the massive deck overlooking exquisite mature professional landscaping and hardscaping, a delightful koi pond and a Sylvan swimming pool bordered by a large sundeck and rock wall. A pergola-topped path opens to a vast lawn play area with a bocce ball court. Surrounded by groves of towering trees and flowering plants, this outdoor sanctuary is unlike any other in the area. On the home's lower level, an expansive family room is flanked by a gas fireplace with a stone hearth, a well-stocked wet bar and a guest powder room. The adjacent solarium/greenhouse offers another atrium-like living space with a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and leafy views. Below, a fully finished basement with excellent storage, a laundry room and nearby garage access is ideal as a game room, home gym, playroom or all of the above. A short flight of stairs from the foyer ushers you into the palatial owner's suite, where you'll find a huge custom walk-in closet and en suite marble bathroom with a lovely basketweave shower and a double vanity. Two oversized bedrooms and a windowed full bathroom with a large tub/shower complete this wing. A half flight up, a mezzanine hallway overlooking the foyer delivers you to another bedroom suite with a built-in desk and storage, a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom. A spacious walk-up storage attic, gas heat and water heater, and central air provide comfort and convenience inside, while a wide driveway, motor court and attached two-car garage deliver plenty of parking.
This peaceful haven is just steps from Welsh Valley Middle School and two miles from Belmont Hills Elementary. Enjoy easy access to Main Line amenities and spectacular Center City Philadelphia shopping, dining and cultural institutions.
