Picture a lovely, meticulously cared-for two-story home nestled in the picturesque, highly coveted Woodlea neighborhood in Berwyn with a brick and siding facade and carriage-style garage doors that exude timeless charm. As you approach, the vibrant and pretty landscaping catches your eye first with its manicured lawn and neatly trimmed bushes framing the brick walkway that leads to the covered front door entry. This is 528 Mountview Road....
Walk inside and you'll find the interior equally as inviting with many modern amenities that seamlessly blend with the classic architectural features of this mid-century home. A center hall entry with HW floors and built-ins framing the front door offer a welcoming ambiance. To the right is the spacious, comfortable Living Room with HW floors, chair rail, crown molding, a window seat with large picture window and centered by a wood-burning fireplace with a replacement liner (2005). Opposite the LR is the Dining Room also with HW floors, chair rail, crown molding and bay window which overlooks the pretty front yard. A perfect accompaniment to the DR is the adjacent renovated (2008) Kitchen with a back door that leads to the expansive, private backyard with Travertine patio and EP Henry walkway (2004). Featuring radiant-heated floors, granite counters with seating, instant hot water dispenser, lovely honey-colored maple cabinetry with easy access pull-out drawers for pots/pans and spices, stainless appliances including a microwave/ convection oven, a sub-zero refrigerator and tile backsplash, this kitchen is a delightful blend of functionality and beauty. A bright, cheery Sun Room with slate floor - the former breezeway - also adjoins the DR and has an abundance of windows which flood this pretty room with warm natural light....but, it's also great flex space with uses such as a play, workout or TV room - whatever works best for your family! Completing the first level is an office with pine paneling and large closet, a den/BR and a full bath with a tub/shower which could easily be adapted into a Primary or Guest BR suite if preferred. The seamless flow between the front entry, LR, DR, Kitchen and Sun Room creates an ideal space for entertaining. The 2nd level features a large Primary BR, two additional BR's all with HW floors, an updated Full Bath with large walk-in shower, a corian counter vanity and tile floor, and a separate attic space. There is a roomy, unfinished basement that holds the laundry with newer washer/dryer and laundry sink, tons of storage space/shelving, and a separate utility/workshop area with the furnace and two newer oil tanks (2019).
