132 OLD GULPH ROAD

Work your way along Old Gulph Rd very slowly. The long driveway to this gem is tucked between two other cartways and an old stone wall. Navigate the drive, roll through the automatic gates and you have just arrived at one of the most unique homes in the area, a mid-century pearl that's been nurtured, re-imagined and refined over the last 40 years by the current owners. This one is going to require at least two showings. The building's floor plan and the site's paths pinwheels you up, down and along the upper portion of this 3 acre plot. Mature plantings in all directions are thriving in this secluded setting, cared for by the owner for decades. The swimming pool and tennis court sit further down the hill, dappled in shade and buffered by trees. Once inside the home, the space unfolds in all directions with views across the slate floors to an indoor pool, or over to the Dining area that overlooks the lower outdoor pool, or down two halls towards the many bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. The custom kitchen, made with round-fronted cabinets and softened edges (made this way to protect the grandchildren from nasty bumps into cabinet corners!) offers options to cook, dine and mingle. Or, at the far end of the space you can pull up a chair at the desk and do a little work. On that same main level is the Primary Bedroom Suite. Along with the bedroom, that suite includes two walk-in closets, a full 6 piece bath, and two quiet rooms adjacent to the gardens, one of which overlooks the interior pool. At the other end of the house, at a level below the kitchen is a large bedroom space formerly used as a home office. It is separated from the other bedrooms and has its own full bath and walk-in closet. A floor above holds three large bedroom suites, each with horizontal windows that frame the surrounding woods. The private setting is so close to everything the Main Line has to offer, including great schools, and all the restaurants and activities to be found in Wynnewood, Ardmore and Bryn Mawr. And, Center City is an easy 20 minute ride away.
