About This Home
As of June 2023Stunningly renovated and meticulously maintained, 1540 Briar Hill is a home that any buyer would be proud to call their own. Completely renovated in 2017, you won't have to worry about projects, upcoming renovations, or replacing major systems- move right in and enjoy the views and luxurious interior. The gourmet kitchen features a large island with seating, quartz counters with a mitered edge, custom Poggenpohl cabinetry, Wolf wall and convection ovens, a Thermador gas cooktop, and a panel front Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. Views from the large window over the kitchen sink out onto the large rear yard are a nice bonus. First floor laundry and mudroom are conveniently located off the garage and lead you into the first living space with a wood burning fireplace (currently being used as an office). An oversized dining room has ample space to seat 10-12. The family room has access to the rear deck and patio, features large windows on 3 sides, and a gas fireplace that adds to the ambiance. A powder room completes this floor. Upstairs, you'll find a light filled primary suite with a walk in closet, 2 reach in closets, and a stunning marble bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share an ample hall bathroom with linen closet. The fourth en suite bedroom is a perfect space for guests, which has it's own private bath. Additional walk in attic storage is accessible through the en suite bathroom. The lower level is a multipurpose space that is currently utilized as a music studio, bar/lounge, and additional tv space. This home is a unique blend of both privacy and a neighborhood that is close to so much in both Lower Merion and Center City.
