Originally constructed in 1917, this unique residence exudes character with fascinating origins as a carriage house with attached stables, artfully converted into a dwelling that seamlessly marries historic charm with modern comfort.

The property is a testament to architectural ingenuity and timeless design, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, boasting 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, nestled in the sought-after Wayne community within the award-winning Radnor School District. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed interior with a state-of-the-art Kitchen, providing the perfect blend of style and functionality (2022), comprising elegant Wellsford cerused rift sawn white oak cabinets, honed quartzite counters, top of the line Wolf double ovens (steam) and induction cooktop, Bosch Benchmark Line Refrigerator/freezer and Dishwasher, and Sharp microwave/air fryer drawer. A spacious breakfast area overlooks the perennial side garden making the entire space a great entertainment area overlooking the enclosed inner courtyard, which becomes an extension of the living space, seamlessly blending indoors with outdoors.
