A cherished woodland retreat in GladwyneSet on a private .91-acre wooded lot that backs to Lower Merion Township open space and conserved land owned by Natural Lands, this gracious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath painted-brick Colonial has been a peaceful haven for many years, filled with art, books, gardens and light. A flagstone path winds through the plantings to a covered front porch and welcoming foyer.The great room is the centerpiece of the home, with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves, made for gatherings and quiet evenings by the fire. The living room has a marble-surround fireplace and windows on three sides framing the trees. The formal dining room features a wide bay window into the gardens, and the breakfast room opens through French doors to the backyard and woods beyond. Hardwood floors run through the main living areas.The kitchen is a cook's space, with a Bosch gas range under a stainless chimney hood, granite counters, glass-front cabinetry and an island. A mudroom with built-in storage adds everyday ease.Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a treehouse, with a warm custom plank ceiling, a window seat in the trees, and a dressing area with a glass-enclosed shower. Second-floor laundry adds convenience. Reached by its own back staircase, a private 5th bedroom suite with its own bath sits apart from the main bedrooms, with dormer windows overlooking the woods and built-in eave storage. Long a photographer's darkroom and studio, the space includes a temporary partition that can easily be removed to open it to its full size. It's ideal as an au pair or live-in help suite, a quiet home office, an artist's studio or a guest retreat.The lower level holds a zen garden with automatic grow lights, a year-round space for plants and quiet reflection, plus a cedar closet for seasonal storage, with access to the garage and an exterior entrance.A home with soul, where gardens have flourished for many years, and a wonderful next chapter ready to bloom, minutes from Gladwyne Village, I-76, regional rail and Center City, in award-winning Lower Merion schools.
