Historic treasure, exquisitely renovated and pristinely maintained, nestled privately in Wynnewood+GGs English Village. The finest Old World charm is elevated with showstopping craftsmanship, including extensive custom work by acclaimed artist T.R. Risk, creating a rare jewel box for the most discerning Buyer. Appreciate the lush landscaping and gracious street presence of this quintessential tutor as you walk up the flagstone steps. Enter a foyer finished with Mercer tile revealing a home of charm and attention to detail that makes the history running through it sing with a fresh, pristine feel. Random width antique hardwood floors, exposed beams, glorious light, arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, french doors and leaded casement windows with impeccably matched storm windows are just some of the timeless finishes that make this home so special. A large living room boasts rich, wide plank wood floors reclaimed from battleships of WWI. Sun pours in from a large window seat, a stone fireplace serves as a centerpiece and french doors lead out to the scenic flagstone covered porch. A well-sized dining room also steps out to magical grounds and connects to the kitchen through a butler+GGs pantry featuring custom black walnut cabinets lined with copper and finished with antique hardware. The kitchen is finished with custom cabinetry made with reclaimed wood that parallels the character of the exposed beams original to the home. Tumbled marble backsplash, limestone countertop, spotless Sub Zero fridge, Viking stove, porcelain farm sink and exposed brick wall complete this kitchen with the finest detail. Step outside to grill, and revel in the gardens that echo the impeccable interior of the home. Koi pond with waterfall, large flagstone terrace, garden shed with lead roof, dining area, multiple sitting areas, fire pit, mature trees for privacy, lush flowering plants and landscape lighting to make it all sparkle at night. Inside and upstairs, the master suite showcases more of TR Risks work with custom master bath tile work, vanity and built-in cabinetry. Exposed beams and raised ceiling make this room expansive and bright. A darling guest bedroom with more exposed beams is flooded with light and has an ensuite bath. The third bedroom with vaulted ceiling can also be used as an upstairs sitting room. A bonus room with extensive built in cabinetry and upstairs laundry can be converted to a 4th bedroom, used as an office or gym. No stone unturned, nor cost spared, in elevating the exquisite bones of this historic gem to the finest standards. Plumbing was updated to copper when all three bathrooms were redone. Roof replaced by owners including all custom copper gutters and flashing. All exterior wood has been replaced and painted and the exterior has been pointed to perfection, to name just a few. Sought after, walkable location in the heart of Lower Merion Township including a walk to Suburban Square, Ardmore and Wynnewoods trains, a jaunt to Whole Foods and steps to Lower Merion High School. A commuter+GGs dream, close to major roadways and trains for easy access to Center City, KOP, Philadelphia airport and beyond.
