Listing description

Please note- Saturday, April 25, 2026 Open House Canceled. Last year, to make their home perfect, the current owners of one of the prettiest North Bryn Mawr homes in Lower Merion completed a Hardie-Plank recladding of 952 Lafayette Rd. This stunning, sun-filled, modern masterpiece, on over an acre, has much more than a pretty wrapping. Step inside into a dramatic two-story center hall foyer, with sophisticated artistic marble tile and abundant natural light through fabulous, oversized windows. It is your entrance to an open floor plan and design that functions fantastically for both easy everyday living and effortless sophisticated entertaining. Highlights include: A breathtaking gourmet kitchen featuring a 10-foot polished, premium granite, topped island, more counters with leathered granite, top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, two Miele dishwashers, a large appliance garage, two prep sinks, a large pantry, adjacent octagonal breakfast room with beautiful custom chandelier and separate adjacent sunroom with mosaic tiled floor. A large, coffered ceiling, light-filled family room with extensive millwork and fireplace, and a spacious formal dining room. Next, the generous main-level office with custom built-ins and French doors for privacy, and a spacious first-floor guest suite complete with its own en-suite bath, offer unparalleled flexibility for work, guests or multi-generational living. One of the 2 staircases has striking decorative wrought iron balusters with classical detailing. A second staircase is off of the mudroom near the kitchen. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom suite with fireplace, sitting room and luxurious marble bathroom with heated floors and 2 outfitted walk-in closets. Conveniently located on the second floor is a large, well-designed laundry room with generous storage, folding counters, a large sink and custom cabinetry.
