Stately Stone Colonial? Circular driveway? Open floor plan? All of this and more in this American Dream House, masterfully designed, beautifully and privately situated, and only 20 years old, in prestigious north side Villanova, Lower Merion Township.

The modern floor plan includes a home office, five living areas, a chef's kitchen, a finished lower level, fantastic storage, and abundant natural light throughout. The front door opens to a sensational grand foyer and custom-turned staircase, with gleaming 3/4" hardwood floors and a front-to-back view of the home. Surrounding the foyer are elegant formal Living and Dining rooms. To the right, the formal Dining Room showcases a tray ceiling, wainscoting, and direct access to the Butler Pantry. To the left, the formal Living Room impresses with nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, double crown molding, and a marble-faced gas fireplace. French doors reveal a spacious Office/Library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and lush green views, offering both serenity and functionality for today’s work-from-home lifestyle. The Butler Pantry, complete with a wet bar and wine refrigerator, leads into the expansive gourmet Kitchen with a spacious center island, granite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigerator, large 48-inch Viking stainless gas cook top, Dacor 30-inch double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, and a walk-in pantry. A double-height Palladian window and skylights bring the outdoors in. A Sunny Breakfast Room with sliders leads to a dramatic 4-season Solarium with a heated floor, perfect for indoor-outdoor dining and entertaining. With its wrap-around glass and views of the grounds, you may wish to spend your entire day in this bright and delightful space. An adjacent covered deck adds even more indoor-outdoor square footage to the footprint. The Kitchen is open to an expansive Family Room, the center of the home, featuring a travertine gas fireplace, coffered ceiling, and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows allowing views of the rear grounds. All this connectivity between the main level rooms creates the perfect environment for either casual and comfortable relaxation with family or lavish hosting with many friends. Two Powder Rooms, a large Laundry Room, and a Mudroom area leading to a side-entry three-car garage complete the main level. On the second level, the primary bedroom suite features a large sitting room, dressing and vanity area, his and hers walk-in-closets, and a deluxe marble-clad spa bath with a marble shower, Jacuzzi tub, dual vanity and cabinetry, and soothing neutral colors for a serene retreat.

A gigantic finished lower level provides additional living space, a dedicated exercise area, three storage rooms, a full bath, and a blank slate on which to build a Playroom, Craft Room, Home Theater, and/or an additional bedroom. This 20-year-old beauty has had all stucco replaced with two stone chimneys and Hardie board. Beyond the property itself, the location elevates the experience.
