Property Description
This extraordinary private retreat is set perfectly at the top of a rolling hill of Gladwyne offering an unbeatable blend of grandeur, tranquility and beautiful vistas. The home was meticulously and exquisitely renovated with the finest materials from 2009-2014 with an attention to every detail evoking a wonderful balance of space and yet remains intimate. In the top-notch gourmet kitchen with top drawer appliances including a Viking gas double range, twin dishwashers, two sinks, beverage cooler, wall ovens and deluxe walk-in pantry, you have an easy flow to the family room with its vaulted ceiling and cozy gas fireplace. Set adjacent to this gathering room and kitchen, there is access to the outdoor patio, natural gas grill and pool - this gathering space for family and friends connects beautifully to the outside. To balance this fun and busy entertaining space, there is a serene balcony off the master bedroom, wonderful for slowly waking to the morning or unwinding at the conclusion of the day. In addition to the first floor office, there is the most beautiful 3rd floor space you have ever seen! There, the options are endless! It could be an amazing office, a second family room up and away from the more active family room on the first floor, a playroom or a space dedicated to the daily routine of homework!The excitement of the home extends to the lower level where you will find a custom built climate controlled wine cellar, an extensive games and play area and a screening area. Get ready for game day as you enjoy a beautifully designed bar complete with fridge, bar tap, dishwasher and more. 1242 Lafayette has a quiet elegance paired with a welcoming warmth that make it the perfect spot to call "home". Come and visit-you don't want to miss it!
