About This Home
As of November 2021Stunning interiors meet Old World charm in this Frank Furness farmhouse nestled privately in the heart of North Haverford. Renovated completely by an award-winning designer, this home envelopes you in a magazine-worthy combination of elegance and warmth. Coffered ceilings, wainscotting, gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite tile and millwork, custom lighting, built-ins, four wood-burning fireplaces, soaring ceiling height and glorious light all elevate the historic bones of this home to the finest modern day luxury standard. Pebble stone driveway apron, flagstone steps, pillars, flagstone patios and a stone masonry wall to the montauk-resort-grade pool add to the timeless street presence. French doors to these outdoor spaces bring beautiful light and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The eat-in, gourmet kitchen with vaulted skylight ceiling is finished with gold calacatta marble, porcelain sink with marble apron, black cabinets, custom light fixtures and stainless steel appliances. A classic butler’s pantry with porcelain drainboard sink, marble tile and built in shelves will have you mixing cocktails at all hours. The family and living rooms both with fireplaces are gracious, chic spaces you will retreat to daily. A beautiful study with another beautiful fireplace and doors to the outside is close to the everyday mix but private enough for productive work from home. Upstairs, the fabulous millwork and ceiling height continue. A master suite includes a large, light-filled dressing room, ensuite tiled bathroom, coffered ceiling with blonde wood finish detail and fireplace. Two additional bright, beautifully appointed bedrooms with two gorgeous bathrooms finish the second floor. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath with deep porcelain soaking tub. A heated pool is tucked privately up a stone walk and surrounded by space for lounge chair and entertaining. Newer roof, three car garage, deck off the kitchen and a private backyard perfect for entertaining and play finish this home with every amenity. Commuters dream, close to Haverford town center, train to Center City, New York and beyond. Around the corner from the Merion Cricket Club. Easy access to all major roadways.
