Updated w/ white cabinetry, an oversized seated island & best quality appliances, the contemporary floor plan belies the home 10 years, flowing from the kit. into the seated tv area & then to a breakfast rm w/ fireplace, custom designed w/ banquette set in a rm wide picture window to take advantage of the golf course view. The owner, a prominent interior designer, removed an existing wall to open the kit. to a proper fmly rm. Highlighted by 10-foot ceilings, this space provides yet another area for informal relaxation adjacent to the kit. & enjoys western views & afternoon light. Ascend the main stair to a 2nd lvl fmly rm w/ double French doors & full view of Merion's stately clubhouse. Hear the pings of golf balls while enjoying the eastern exposure & morning light.
