Historically one of Ardmore's premier builders created this house as his own home. It was the strong bones, architectural features like the 13' staircase ceiling, and 3 separate entrances that drew the designers to this project. Enter into the light filled foyer with walls of windows, stunning tile, a custom barn door, and you immediately know you have stepped into a special place. Further inside your eyes are drawn into the living room with large windows and fireplace. Step into the dining room and the stunning open concept kitchen complete with custom countertops, a stunning double farmhouse sink, designer faucet, high-end wood cabinetry, and contemporary brass pulls. The island provides 9 draws for storage and while preparing food or entertaining, take in views of the fireplace, front door, and back yard. Off the kitchen a bonus pantry room steps out into the back yard and patio. The cozy nook at the base of the stairs is a perfect place for reading, writing, or home work while still being in the mix. Ascend the stairs and take in the view of neighboring gardens. The upper landing opens to 3 large bedrooms all with nice closets custom barn doors, large windows and lovely views. The bathroom blends wrap around Carrara Marble tile walls with elegant wainscoting and the seamless epoxy floor is a show stopper that let's you say goodbye to the dreaded task of grout cleaning. Nearly 600 sq ft the basement extends your living/entertaining space and exits to the drive. This door provides great access to the kitchen after a shopping trip. This unique home has stunning original wood floors, and designer fixtures throughout but most importantly it has those intangibles that can't be bought. The insulated street has a tremendous sense of community provided by the wonderful neighbors. Many garden and subsequently bird songs can be heard sunrise to sunset. At the bottom of the street you have Normandy Park that hosts everything from T-Ball games to summer movies under the stars. A short walk takes you to Elwell Field and the lovely Haverford College nature trails. Down the street is the incredible Chestnutwold Elementary School where you find an active community and thriving students. It is a nice stroll into all things Ardmore such as the local restaurants and shops, Tired Hands, and the train to center city and NYC. Keep it even more local and enjoy Carlino's Italian Market, Sam's Brick Oven Pizza, or the historic Marone's Italian restaurant.
