French

Graceful and quietly sophisticated, this French-inspired home embodies the best of Main Line living. Located in the desirable, well-established neighborhood of The Woods, its storybook curb appeal offers a warm and welcoming presence on the street. Mature gardens, picket fencing, arbors and pergolas frame professionally landscaped terraces with pea gravel and flagstone walkways throughout. A flagstone pathway leads to the home’s brick entrance. Inside, the large foyer feels gracious and inviting, conveying a sense of ease and understated elegance. Beautiful finishes, generous light and well-proportioned rooms create an interior that feels both comfortable and refined. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, setting a warm and cohesive tone from the entry. A powder room is conveniently tucked just off the foyer, along with a double coat closet. Gently curved doorways provide a subtle transition between rooms and reflect the home’s carefully considered design. To the left, French pocket doors open to the dining room, equally suited for intimate dinners and formal entertaining. Notable features include a striking fireplace, three sunlit windows, built-in display shelving and a door providing direct access to the kitchen. The living room evokes the feeling of a classic French home, centered around a finely detailed fireplace and framed by windows overlooking the backyard garden. Curved French double doors lead seamlessly to the gathering room with its floor to ceiling stone fireplace and wall of windows with views of the terrace, yard and whimsical playhouse. The room flows naturally into the spacious, eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and generous prep space. Glass doors open directly to the brick terrace creating an ideal setting for outdoor entertainment. A tiled- floor mudroom off the kitchen includes a coat closet, second powder room, laundry closet, rear entry from the driveway, and access to the two-car garage. One of the home’s most compelling features is the private, expansive first-floor primary suite with exceptional potential. The unfinished primary bath and walk-in closet present a rare opportunity for a new owner to create a custom retreat tailored to their own needs. Upstairs, to the right are two well-proportioned bedrooms which are connected by a renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub. A third bedroom includes a renovated ensuite bath and adjoining sitting area or office, offering the flexibility to serve as a private guest suite or an additional primary bedroom. The partially finished basement includes utility space and storage. The property features new Pella windows throughout, a four-zone HVAC system and newly installed shingle and flat roofs. Set in the award-winning Radnor School District and close to several prestigious private schools, this prime location offers the best of Main Line living. Minutes from the Paoli/Thorndale train stations, Wayne’s vibrant shops and dining, major commuting routes, medical facilities, universities and the King of Prussia Mall, this home is a true treasure. Private showings are available by appointment.
