Property Description
An eclectic piece of history which was built in 1879 by Henry Morris on Ballytores grounds, this handsome stone and wood home is one of three stone cottages from the Red Roof group. The unique and distinctive feature of this cottage was the low-slung roof covered with red diamond-shaped tiles. It is an excellent example of a forerunner to the Arts and Crafts Movement. Oozing with old world charm yet beautifully updated, highlights include original detailing and woodwork, high ceilings, hardwood floors and fabulous windows with the original brass hardware, pocket doors, and deep windowsills. There is a fireplace in almost every room. Enter to a Center Hall with an intricately carved staircase with a high ceiling. Enjoy family meals in the Dining Room featuring a fireplace replete with an alcove, crown moldings and beautiful, large windows. The kitchen has a tiled floor, recessed lighting, plenty of cabinet space, gas cooking and stainless appliances. There are French doors exiting to a balcony overlooking the yard between the kitchen and living room. A beautiful marble fireplace with a marble hearth is the focal point in the living room accented with lovely woodwork and built-ins. Ascend to the 2nd floor where there is the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Highlights include a fireplace, beautiful moldings, beadboard ceiling with beams, ceiling fan and a large walk-in closet. The bathroom has a pretty marble floor and vanity and a tub with a shower. Two other bedrooms with original beadboard ceiling and beams are connected by a tiled bathroom and complete the 2nd floor. There is a stairway to the attic. The Lower Level boasts recessed lighting, a fireplace, marble and wood flooring, and French doors exiting to a private fenced yard with patios, terraces, and gardens. A laundry room and a powder room are located on this level along with terrific storage space. Easy parking and a shared driveway where maintenance expenses are shared with the other 2 homes. This is home # 1. Great location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and transportation. Own a piece of Lower Merion Township history!
