Located on one of northside Bryn Mawr’s most coveted streets, near the charming village of Gladwyne, this distinguished property offers both tranquility and easy access to major transportation routes for a convenient commute to Center City Philadelphia.

The spacious living room features a large wall of windows and a fireplace, perfect for gathering with family and friends. A dining room awaits for elegant dinners, while the generously sized home office with a bay window and custom built-ins offers a serene workspace. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances, a large island with a gas cooktop, and granite countertops, opening to a light-filled breakfast area with curved windows that overlook the swimming pool.
