Best Value on the Main Line for over 5,800 Square Feet of Absolutely Charming Living Space! Priced to Sell! See it today! Tudor style Carriage Home, with separate 2 bedroom Guest House or Rental !!! Full of history, character, & charm. Situated on a coveted Villanova cul-de-sac, in a tranquil, private setting surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Its quaint storybook appearance, reminiscent of a time gone by, includes a stunning gable style slate roof, brick walls w/ decorative half timbering, and leaded glass windows. This iconic home is believed to have originally been a part of the Stoke Estate and housed carriages & boats to the Main House, just up the street. The interior is a charming combination of old and new. It has been completely updated, w/central air conditioning, while retaining old world charm. The open floor plan is ideal for entertaining as well as active family living. The formal living room replete w/ fireplace & wet bar opens up to the elegant dining room (formerly the boat house) through the original pocket barn doors. The large gourmet kitchen is flanked by the breakfast room on one side and the fireside family room on the other. The original bedrooms have beautiful stained glass transoms, newly restored pine floors, and renovated bathrooms. The large master bedroom suite is a delight to retreat to. The master bath is a must see and the walk-in cedar closet, original to the house, is a dream for anyone looking to expand their wardrobe! The crowning jewel of this home is a self-contained, two bedroom Carriage Home Apartment that has its own entrance, which could serve as an in-law/au pair suite or be rented out. This distinct home has no match in architectural detail and could not be duplicated today! The convenient location is within just minutes to the towns of Villanova, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, and King of Prussia for shopping & dining, central to all 3 local hospitals - Bryn Mawr, Lankenau, & Paoli - as well as the soon-to-be CHOP King of Prussia and Penn Medicine at Radnor, and in close proximity to the R5 train, SEPTA high speed line, and all major roadways leading to Center City and the airport.
