20 W Old Gulph RoadGladwyne, PA 19035Price: $1,950,000

Set on a beautifully manageable acre in the estate section, this distinctive residence offers an unusual combination of architectural presence, privacy and ease. Extraordinary detailing is evident throughout, but it is perhaps the windows that are most memorable: beautifully scaled and exquisitely detailed, they frame private views of the surrounding landscape while giving each room its own architectural character. Inside, the home is sophisticated and highly styled, with two marble fireplaces anchoring the principal living spaces. A beautifully updated kitchen balances clean, current design with the character of the architecture, while the renovated baths are equally refined in their materials and execution. A loft office adds an unexpected and appealing workspace, removed from the primary living areas yet visually connected to the home. With only 2 bedrooms, the residence is particularly compelling for those who want to maintain a substantial Main Line presence without the burden of rooms that are rarely used. The scale is generous where it matters, yet refreshingly right sized for everyday living. Outside, approximately one acre provides privacy and a lovely sense of setting without the maintenance demands of a larger estate. The result is a rare offering: an architecturally significant home in an established estate setting, beautifully updated and exceptionally suited to a buyer seeking sophistication, privacy and a more effortless way to live on the Main Line.
