Property Description
Prepare to be amazed by this tranquil home designed for woodland views with a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern amenities in the heart of Gladwyne. This impeccable five-bedroom, four-bath, 3,800 +/- square foot entertainers dream home boasts sweeping indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces and provides serene views for you and your guests.
Enter the home into the warm and inviting foyer and you are greeted with two spacious coat closets, a built-in desk area, and access to the main living space. The sunken family room boasts a cozy gas fireplace flanked by custom built-in bookshelves and accented by the recessed lighting on the tray ceilings. This family room is overlooked by the newly updated eat-in kitchen with an abundance of sleek white cabinets, accented by a stainless chef's backsplash and recessed lighting. This gourmet kitchen has been freshly painted, and is open to the formal dining and living rooms featuring a cozy gas fireplace and a large bay and picture windows overlooking the tree-lined path leading down to the Bridlewild Trail. Seamlessly entertain your guests from the kitchen to the stone back patio, complete with glass railing that provides uninterrupted views of the lush landscaping of the terraced property adjacent to a permanent township nature preserve. The beauty of nature is right in your backyard overlooking the creek where a family of Pennsylvania Barred Owls are frequently seen raising their owlets.
The other wing of the main level hosts a full, beautifully restored original tile bath with a tub shower in between two spacious bedrooms. On the upper floor are two large linen closets, a full hall bath and a large third bedroom at the top of the stairs. Enter the primary suite into the first of two seating areas or a nursery room, one seating area with a cozy gas fireplace and large windows overlooking the grounds. Through an elevated corridor sits the sleeping quarters with high ceilings and uninterrupted views. The ensuite, spa-inspired full bath features separate sinks, a walk-in shower with brand new tiling, and a separate jetted soaking tub. The european-style private commode has been meticulously hidden and features a standard toilet alongside a bidet. Completing the primary suite is a spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving and a laundry chute. A secondary door in the seating area provides access to a bonus room which could be utilized as an office space or playroom and houses the hot water heater.
The walkout level finished basement has been freshly painted and is home to a one-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance. This apartment is complete with a kitchenette, living room, spacious bedroom, and full bathroom.
816 Youngs Ford Road is centrally located in Gladwyne and sits just minutes from both public transportation and major thoroughfares. With a second driveway for a total of 12+ car parking, a large and private yard, and a bespoke zipline, this move-in-ready dream home is unlike any other on the market. Thanks to the direct Gladwyne I-76 onramp, center city Philadelphia is a 15 minutes drive, and half an hour during peak commuting times. King of Prussia Mall, one of the largest in the US, is a 15-minute drive as well. Youngs Ford Road is a pre-revolutionary carriage road with stone ruins visible at various bends, and walking to the historic Village of Gladwyne, with a village market, Veterinarian, pharmacy, and garden center takes about 10 minutes.
