About This Home

As of June 2025

Tucked behind gates on a quiet stretch of Mount Pleasant Road, this Villanova residence offers a blend of privacy and presence. A gracious entry unfolds into a two-story foyer, its hardwood floors leading seamlessly into a living room of understated charm—two rooms with a fireplace, inviting quiet conversation or evening repose.
Beyond, a sunroom bathed in natural light extends toward the private yard, its double-sided fireplace and skylights creating a space both intimate and open. The heart of the home, a thoughtfully designed kitchen, offers an island for gathering and abundant storage, while the dining room and office complete the main level’s effortless flow. Just half a level up, a private wing holds two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a laundry room—perfect for guests or live-in arrangements, offering both comfort and independence.
The second floor is a retreat of peace and quiet. The primary suite, entered through double sliding doors, features a hallway with a walk-in closet and an attached bath with a double vanity, stall shower, and soaking tub. A fireplace and a sitting area create a warm, intimate ambiance, while a Juliette balcony overlooks the pool and grounds. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms and walk-in closets, complete this level.
Below, the lower level is designed for both relaxation and lively entertaining. A family room, full bar with wine room, exercise space optional to be converted into another bedroom, and sauna offer moments of retreat and renewal. In the summer, the outdoors becomes an extension of the home—patios for sun-soaked afternoons, a sparkling pool with a dedicated pool house, and a bounce-back space to keep the games going.
With a four-car garage and ample additional parking, this home is both welcoming and accommodating. Ideally situated near major routes and the conveniences of Main Line living, it offers a sanctuary of comfort and refinement, just moments from everything you need.
