Charming enlarged Carriage House (circa 1900) with attached Dutch Colonial, meticulously restored by previous owner with exceptional architectural details, and further updated and expanded during its current ownership. Don't be fooled by the unpretentious front. This is truly a "come to the secret garden" house. Walk into the beautiful sunny ceramic tiled foyer with vaulted ceiling and hall closet in addition to an in-law suite to your right and large 2 car garage with 50A outlet installed for attaching an electric car charger. The suite has its own entrance and includes a full bath, mini kitchen with microwave, closets and living area that opens directly out onto a patio and the picturesque grounds. The foyer opens to a truly captivating Great Room with a soaring 18' ceiling, an abundance of natural light, original beams and trusses, knotty pine ceilings, custom built cabinetry and lathe and plaster walls with a modern gourmet kitchen updated by current owner with granite countertops, new backsplash, an abundance of custom wood cabinetry, chefs stove (with outside exhaust), and a granite topped eating bar. The Great Room also includes a wood burning fireplace. Overlooking the Great Room and accessed by a spiral staircase (or from the second floor of the Dutch Colonial portion of the house) is a large loft area currently used as an office. The first level of the Dutch Colonial portion of the house boasts a wonderful master suite with master bath, sitting room and an abundance of closets. The bath has been updated with new sink, high/low toilet, and new hardware on shower. Also on the first level is a laundry room and a mudroom/potting room that exits out to the patio and grounds. The second floor of the Dutch colonial wing of the house includes 3 additional bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom with shower, sink and toilet, and a hall bath which was gutted and rebuilt approx 2 years ago. All this on a beautiful sloping .66 acres with stately trees, lovely gardens, specimen plantings, rolling lawn and a brick terrace. The electric has been fully updated and a high efficiency Buderus heater and hot water heater have been installed by the current owner. The partial basement has additional storage space. What a wonderful country home with the convenience of walking to the train or to the local botanical garden at Merion Park. PRE-INSPECTED.
