Description
Set on the coveted north side of Bryn Mawr, this extraordinary Tudor revival is a masterful blend of timeless 1930s craftsmanship and sophisticated modern luxury. Meticulously restored and completely reimagined by Pinemar with design by Warren Claytor Architects, 617 Harriton Road is a one-of-a-kind residence offering over 3,800 square feet of beautifully curated living space in the award-winning Lower Merion School District. From the moment you arrive, the home's architectural character is unforgettable. A striking exterior showcases hand-cut local stone, including rare touches of West Chester green serpentine and Wissahickon schist, creating a rich texture and presence rarely found today. The original oak front door with iron strap hinges opens into a gracious foyer where old-world charm meets refined contemporary living. Bathed in natural light throughout, the home's flowing floor plan was designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. To the right, the dramatic formal living room features a soaring barrel ceiling and an ornate wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and grandeur. French doors open directly to the terrace and grounds, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef's kitchen, thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium finishes, and an oversized island perfect for gathering. The adjoining family room and dining area create an effortless entertaining space, while expansive walls of windows and French doors frame views of the stunning outdoor setting. Step outside to the flagstone terrace and beautiful Paradigm pool, surrounded by lush landscaping and private lawn space that feels like a secluded retreat. One of the home's most remarkable and unexpected features is the regulation-size Anderson squash court located just off the kitchen, a truly rare luxury. Whether used for squash, basketball, fitness training, yoga, pickleball practice, a wellness studio, or year-round recreation, this incredible space offers endless possibilities for all ages and lifestyles. A richly paneled library with custom built-ins and a charming corner fireplace provides the perfect setting for a home office, reading room, or intimate retreat. Throughout the first floor, impeccably maintained solid hardwood floors add warmth and authenticity. Original architectural details remain beautifully preserved, including solid wood interior doors, leaded diamond-motif windows, and wrought-iron Juliet balcony accents that subtly honor the home's historic roots. The second floor is anchored by a luxurious primary suite featuring a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, custom glass shower, water closet, and an oversized walk-in closet room. A private covered balcony offers a peaceful setting for morning coffee overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for family, guests, or office space, while a conveniently located second-floor laundry adds modern practicality. Additional highlights include a new cedar shingle roof, whole-house generator, unfinished basement with perimeter drainage system, and countless thoughtful upgrades throughout. Ideally located within walking distance to Harriton House, the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line train station, and the shops, dining, and amenities of the Village of Bryn Mawr, this turnkey residence offers an unmatched combination of architectural beauty, modern functionality, and premier Main Line living. 617 Harriton Road is more than a home... it is a rare opportunity to own a fully restored Tudor masterpiece with extraordinary amenities in one of the Main Line's most desirable walkable neighborhoods.
