About This Home
As of June 2021Welcome to 270 Curwen Road, "Bryn Leigh," a classic stone Main Line manor home, that has been updated for todays family life. The 8 bedroom, 5.5 bath home, has the timeless details and quality craftsmanship of the traditional Main Line- 11 ft ceilings on the main floor, and 10 ft ceilings on the 2nd and 3rd floors, 13" high baseboards throughout the home, arched doorways with custom mill work and trim, mahogany built-ins, 15" deep windowsills throughout, 5 fireplaces, hardwoods throughout, and double french doors that lead out to a classic flagstone wrap-around porch, that will entice you to sit outside for hours. The Kitchen is grand in size and updated with abundant custom cabinetry, stainless Sub-Zero refrigerator, a second "vegetable" sink, Dacor 6 burner commercial range/oven, a 2nd stainless Dacor wall oven, oversized center island seating 6, french door to a seated patio area, and back stairway that leads to a nanny/in-law suite with its own entrance. The Living Room and Family Room each have custom built ins, glorious windows and doors to the outside, for perfect entertaining flow. Many school fundraisers have been held in this home! The Dining Room has a FP, exquisite wainscoting and the largest bay window with abundant light. The 2nd floor features a huge master suite with 2 fireplaces, windows galore, master bath and new custom walk-in closets and dressing room. The second floor hosts another en-suite Bedroom, Office, Full Bath, and 2nd floor Laundry Room. The 3rd floor has 5 additional, gracious bedrooms and 2 more full baths, all with 10 ft ceilings. There is also a secret room behind a bookcase, and a secret passageway for the kids to play. The lower level has an oversized Mudroom, Exercise Room, Movie Room, open area/playroom, and tons of storage space. The meticulously landscaped grounds enclose the property with colorful plantings, flat grassy areas and a vacation-like in-ground pool and spa with waterfall. The homeowners have taken all the risk out of buying an older home for you, because they have updated and replaced almost everything: new roof 2019, refinished hardwoods, new HVAC, new plumbing, new electric, tied the house into public sewer, replaced 53 windows, new french doors, new laundry room, kitchen, carpeting, replaced pool systems, finished basement. "Bryn-Leigh" has been loved and maintained in every way, and is ready for the next generation of owners to love and care for it.
