Discreetly set along a private lane in Villanova within Lower Merion Township, this architecturally distinguished residence offers rare privacy and refined Main Line living at scale. A gated stone terrace opens to a dramatic two-story foyer with sweeping curved staircase. The main level unfolds with deliberate separation between formal and informal spaces, oriented toward an expansive rear deck that preserves privacy while allowing seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is designed for both performance and everyday ease, featuring premium appliances, generous prep space, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast area with French doors to the front terrace. It opens to a vaulted great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick gas fireplace. Formal living and dining rooms, a private office, bonus room, mudroom with integrated laundry and garage access, and dual powder rooms complete the level. *All kitchen cabinets were just refinished, freshly painted white, and added new hardware!

Two bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, while the fourth bedroom features its own private ensuite. An upper-level laundry room, rear staircase, and walk-up attic with cedar storage add thoughtful practicality. The finished lower level includes a den with gas fireplace, fifth bedroom, full bath, sauna, gym, walkout access, and substantial storage. Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, custom built-ins, and exquisite millwork define the interiors.
