About This Home
As of July 2019A remarkable team of talent, builder Frank Zadlo in collaboration with architect Matthew Milan, conceived & created what is one of the most distinctive residences in Villanova. Enveloped by greenery, this magnificent 6 bedroom 6.5 bath showplace, approached from a graceful drive beyond stone pillars, sits grandly on 2.31 acres, affording utmost privacy & outdoor living at its best. Expansive paver patios with a stone fireplace, a beautiful in-ground swimming pool, tennis court, stretching lawn & sweeping views enhance the blissful environs, providing an idyllic backdrop for enjoying the outdoors & entertaining amid a stunning landscape. Those who seek the finer things in life, and optimal comfort for their loved ones, will appreciate the care & attention that went into the thoughtful details and gracious flow of this exquisite estate home. Every feature was deliberately considered & impeccably executed, from the premium-quality woods, stones, finishes & fixtures to radiant heat floors, architectural ceilings & skylights, state-of-the-art technology & systems such as central air, central vac, air and water filtration, security, etc. The spectacular, soaring reception gallery with a striking wood staircase & towering columns is truly a masterpiece. This crowning jewel introduces 3 generous levels of elegant living space that exude character with a contemporary flair, all awash with natural light. Mingle with guests over cocktails in the romantic living room graced by tasteful built-ins & fireplace, and effortlessly host a crown in the gracious dining room with coffered ceilings. The fabulous sun-bathed kitchen appointed with all the premium bells & whistles for the chef has plenty of room for everyone to gather casually. Coffee never tasted better than in the glass-walled breakfast room overlooking the rear oasis. A round-ceilinged den with a built-in entertainment center & fireplace flanked by oversized windows has a special ambience for movie nights. Escape to your serene master sleeping quarters with a sitting area, custom-outfitted dressing closet & en-suite bath/spa retreat with a hot tub. A den/study/library, loft, laundry, spacious guest suites, an amazing lower level w/a media room, gym/fitness room, sauna, wine cellar & full bath, and a 3-car garage are other highlights that make this an exemplary luxury home. Topping the allure is the superior location in the top Lower Merion school district w/close proximity to Center City.
