Property Description
Set among mature trees and professionally landscaped grounds, this distinctive Main Line residence offers exceptional privacy, character, and quality throughout. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic architecture, stone façade, attached garage, and lush garden setting create a warm and memorable first impression.
Inside, the home showcases remarkable attention to detail with custom millwork, elegant moldings, hardwood flooring, recessed lighting throughout the first floor, and wiring for surround sound that extends from the interior living spaces to the stone patio. The gracious living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and framed by custom built-in bookcases, creating a sophisticated yet comfortable space for gathering, reading, or entertaining. Oversized windows bring in abundant natural light and frame beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
The formal dining room offers an elegant setting for hosting and features chair rail detail, rich trim, recessed lighting, and French doors that open directly to the stone patio, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom contemporary cabinetry, premium integrated stainless-steel appliances, a paneled built-in dishwasher, subzero refrigerator, self-cleaning double convection oven, a range hood, custom five-burner gas cooktop, extensive storage, and a bright breakfast area with direct access to the gardens and patio.
The first floor offers excellent flexibility with two spacious bedrooms. One bedroom remains a comfortable main-level bedroom with dual closets, while the second has been converted into a warm and inviting den with chair rail molding, built-in sound, and French doors leading outdoors—ideal as a home office, library, sitting room, or guest space. A luxurious full bath completes the main level, finished floor-to-ceiling in limestone and featuring custom cabinetry, a Jacuzzi tub, steam shower, glass enclosure, built-in niches, and spa-inspired finishes.
Upstairs, natural light pours through a skylight above the staircase, leading to a private owner's retreat. The spacious primary bedroom offers generous proportions, room for a sitting area or workspace, multiple windows, skylights, a ceiling fan, and peaceful views of the surrounding trees. Originally designed with a fourth bedroom, the upper level has been thoughtfully reimagined to create an expansive custom dressing room with extensive built-in wardrobe systems, open shelving, drawers, hanging storage, shoe storage, and dedicated organization throughout. The ensuite bath is beautifully appointed with premium finishes, a custom double vanity topped with rich green marble, and a steam shower, creating a private spa-like sanctuary.
The lower level adds exceptional functionality with two wine cellars, a dedicated storage room, a laundry area with utility sink, and convenient exterior access.
The outdoor spaces are a true highlight of the property. Professionally designed landscaping surrounds the home with mature specimen trees, hydrangeas, perennial gardens, layered planting beds, stone walkways, and private garden views from nearly every room. The stone patio is wired for outdoor speakers and offers a wonderful setting for dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Dedicated tomato and herb gardens add charm and practicality, while stone steps lead to an elevated upper lawn bordered by mature trees, creating additional space to relax, garden, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting.
Combining timeless architecture, luxurious finishes, custom storage, flexible living spaces, and beautifully designed grounds, 816 Old Gulph Road presents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive residence in one of Bryn Mawr's most sought-after locations.
