About This Home

As of January 2022

The best location in South Ardmore Park?stunning views, no noise, no traffic! Fabulous expansion and renovation honors this classic Colonial?Enter through the front door, and from the foyer space notice the vaulted skylight casts a natural glow on the beautiful staircase, accented by a dark walnut handrail. Walk over the hardwood floors toward the regal, marble surrounded, wood-burning fireplace. The custom built-ins with solid mahogany shelves reveal double French pocket doors to the great room. Take off your shoes and 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. To your left is the mudroom with custom natural cherry wood built ins and a full-length concrete bench. It's outside entry from the driveway provides a convenient access to the home. 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. Turn right from the mudroom and enter the beautifully updated kitchen designed to maximize space with clever pull-out drawers for pots & pans, & custom drawers for cutlery and utensils. The fabulous designer cabinets are exotic cherry wood dressed with engineered quartz Ceasarstone counters and an expansive glass backsplash. The kitchen was designed to provide views to every room in the house and porch. Full length breakfast bar connects the kitchen to a light-filled, inviting dining room with matching cabinets and counter top on a floating buffet. A French door leads to a gorgeous slate and pillared porch for ease of entertaining & a porch swing for summer evenings. Upstairs you'll find 4 sizable bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms. The upstairs laundry room is the ultimate in convenience. The master has both a wall of custom fitted closets & a dressing room leading to the spa-like master bath with dramatic double-vaulted skylights, giving you moonlight at night, & ambient daylight. Double sinks and plentiful cabinets accent a full mirror that reflects the modern floor to ceiling glass tiled shower with bench opposite. There are 2 additional updated, full baths (one with Jacuzzi) to serve the other 3 bedrooms. A finished basement sits under the original part of the home to provide the perfect rec room/playroom, or whatever your heart desires. The addition is built on a crawlspace.
