About This Home

As of August 2021

Welcome to 344 Ardmore Ave, creatively designed to connect to the outdoors to indoor living. This home offers peaceful serenity for today's modern family every season of the year! Situated on more than an acre with mature landscape. The architect used a blend of traditional materials to create a refined contemporary architecture. Incorporating a variety of woods, stone & glass to embrace its surroundings, the home captures the natural beauty of all four seasons. High-end amenities, custom lighting and controls, plus an integrated home entertainment system- wired for today's information age and is complemented by the stylish interior design & elegant decor. As you approach this gorgeous home will appreciate the steeply pitched Portico and a 50-year life-cycle roof. The first floor offers two large bedrooms, one of which is a master suite with a sitting lounge and pocket doors opening to the great room. Perfect for accommodating out of town family or guests or used as an in-law suite. Upstairs you will find two in-home offices and a Grand master suite. This home offers the flexible space so many seek to work effectively from home. The large office includes blueprints for anyone interested in transforming this space into an additional en-suite. The smaller office can be utilized as an additional bedroom or nursery. The master is stunning and includes a large sitting room, elevated bathroom, dressing area, hand-crafted wood ceiling and headboard. The large windows and patio door open to a cozy balcony with commanding views of the backyard. The master bath includes a whirlpool tub, separate stall shower, and makeup vanity all detailed with beautifully travertine, ocean side glass, and hand-made mosaics. The upstairs is complete with a spacious balcony overlooking the great room, an ideal space for gathering your thoughts. Positioned across from the historical Merion Golf Club (ranked #6 in the country) the true beauty of this gorgeous home is THE BACK YARD! A private oasis unlike any other. The horseshoe terrace with gas Viking grill offers an instant escape and a spacious area for entertaining. Serenade your guests with music from the exterior, outdoor speakers, or slide open the piano room doors and relax to one of Beethoven's nine symphonies or chopsticks. The backyard is flat allowing an opportunity to add a swimming pool. Nestled in an exceptional location this home allows for convenient access to the Philadelphia Airport, Center City via multiple train lines, proximity for highway access, and is minutes from downtown Ardmore. This captivating contemporary layout and design offers opulent comfort for today’s modern family. The owner/architect has made this home a dream come true in every sense, a vacation home for day-to-day living.
