From the moment you turn down the long, private drive, it's clear that this custom stone estate is in a class of its own. Situated on over an acre of meticulously manicured grounds, this three-and-a-half-story masterpiece blends classic architectural beauty with sophisticated spaces required for luxury living.
The approach is nothing short of cinematic, featuring a stunning flagstone and brick walkway that leads through a lush front courtyard graced with extensive perennial beds. Inside, the grand three-story foyer sets a tone of timeless elegance, showcasing a wide staircase, rich black walnut finished hardwood floors with intricate inlays and bespoke woodwork that flows throughout the home.
Designed for both entertaining and quiet moments of reflection, the main level has nine-foot ceilings and offers a seamless transition between the well-proportioned formal living and dining rooms. In addition, there are two gas fireplaces located in the living room and great room.
The professional-grade gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a suite of Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, and Bosch appliances. The kitchen flows into a sun-drenched breakfast room with a stunning coffered ceiling and an adjacent butler's pantry, complete with a temperature-controlled wine closet.
For those who work from home, the dedicated office features a full wall of custom cabinetry and shelving, providing a refined backdrop for any pursuit. The second floor is a sanctuary of comfort, anchored by an expansive landing with a built-in sitting area.
The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a dressing area, two walk-in closets (including one cedar-lined), and another built specifically to house shoes and handbags. There is a spa-like bathroom with heated marble floors and a deep soaking tub. Four additional generous bedrooms, each with an en-suite or shared bath with dual vanities, ensure that everyone has their own private space.
The upper and lower levels continue to impress. The finished third floor offers vaulted ceilings, a large recreation area, multiple walk-in storage areas, and a bedroom that is currently used as a unique golf practice space. The finished lower level provides a secondary laundry and an additional full bath - great for guests.
The outdoor living area is equally impressive. Three sets of French doors open to a sprawling rear patio, perfect for al fresco dining overlooking the flat, expansive backyard that is ready for a custom pool. With a brand-new exterior, a new generator, a 50-year roof and three-zoned HVAC; the home's structural and mechanical integrity match its aesthetic beauty.
Perfectly positioned for easy access to Center City, regional rail and the airport, this estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle for those who refuse to compromise on quality or location. Welcome home to "Grandview Manor," a legacy property that is as functional as it is breathtaking.
