About This Home
Come home to tasteful luxury in an exceptional location! The unique property at 281 Winding Way offers a lifestyle without compromise: The magnificent 8,700+ sq.-ft., 6BR, 5/2BA residence combines classic 1925 stone construction with a full interior renovation that incorporates such contemporary conveniences as a smart house system and an elevator that reaches all five levels. From the circular stone driveway in front to an in-ground pool/hot tub surrounded by trees, the 1.1-acre property offers the epitome of gracious suburban living while putting the delis, restaurants, shops and services of Merion Station and Narberth borough within walking distance; Center City Philadelphia is minutes away by rail or car. A slate roof & copper tops off the stately stone façade. Beyond the covered portico, you’re immersed in quality. The interior was completely renovated in 2012 with meticulous attention to detail, with Venetian plaster walls and custom millwork, Marvin windows, and hardwood doors with Baldwin brass hardware throughout. The first level above ground features teak herringbone hardwood floors in the foyer, living room and dining room. French doors flanking the living room fireplace lead to a light-filled sunroom with slate floor and multiple double doors opening to back and side terraces. The formal dining room has a fireplace and unique moldings and millwork, and provides access to the family room and to the kitchen and breakfast nook. The chef’s kitchen, renovated more recently 2016, features variable width reclaimed oak floors, an island with seating and storage, white subway tile walls, and all-white custom cabinetry with black soakstone countertops. A palladium window adds a cheery touch over the extra-deep sink, and an oversized stainless-steel fridge/freezer, dual ovens and 6-burner range provide convenience no matter who is cooking or for how many. An arched doorway leads to the side yard. Off the kitchen, a sitting room has one of two powder rooms on this level and elevator access. On the second above-ground level, via elevator or stairs from the foyer or kitchen, escape to a spacious primary suite with hand-painted doors, antique Italian sconces, arched French doors opening to a balcony, a dressing room with a design custome closets, and a luxurious bath with imported dual vanities and mirrors, whirlpool tub with a custom surround, and spacious shower. Also on this level are three large bedrooms, one of which can be accessed via elevator and shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with a second bedroom; a third has front and side balconies. The last room in the second floor has an in-suite luxury bathroom. The third level has a third bedroom and full bath, and two large rooms that could serve as a home gym, TV room or playroom. A finished level below ground home theater, wine cellar with dedicated HVAC system, recreation room, full bath and access to elevator and two-car garage.. For maximum comfort, the home has a 110-gallon water heater and six HVAC systems for the living spaces.
