Property Description
UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY CARRIAGE HOME with 6 bedrooms,soaring ceilings, deep window sills and amazing architecture sits on Bryn Mawr's highest hill and was the stone stable and barn to the original Colebrook mansion. Built in 1903, this exquisite home has been expanded and modernized and is today a masterful combination of original architectural detail with state-of-the-art modern conveniences. The almost 2 acre estate, minutes from the town of Bryn Mawr, is secluded and very private and the specimen plantings, landscape architecture, charming stone and brick courtyards are a "feast for the eyes" from every window of this spectacular home. The home has a very versatile floor plan - the beautiful master suite with fireplace and new "his and hers" bathrooms on the main floor. Alternatively, there is an enchanting, very large bedroom on the second floor with a fireplace framed by two balconies and a cathedral beamed ceiling which could be used as a master bedroom as well. The hay loft has been transformed into a charming family room with built-in closets, ceiling beams, a stone fireplace with a gas stove, radiant under floor heating, reading nook and a split Dutch door which leads to the stone and brick back courtyard. This charming section of the expansive backyard includes a roofed structure which has been fitted with an outdoor gas fireplace. There is a beautiful stone pond with waterfall and atmospheric lighting. Some of the numerous upgrades include recently added 5-zone central air, 2 new high efficiency furnaces and direct access from the stunning new kitchen to the private back courtyard, and customized closets and storage spaces.. The basement has been professionally waterproofed with French drain and sump pump. The plumbing, heating and electric have all been upgraded. Extensive interior and exterior lighting has been added. The professionally landscaped grounds also feature a large, bright artist studio/office/exercise room, built by E.B. Mahoney, with hardwood floors, tray, beamed ceiling that overlooks a gorgeous heated swimming pool, and a separate in-ground hot tub. This historical home with it's amazing location and privacy, breathtaking grounds, old world charm, pristine condition and architectural details is an absolute masterpiece!!!!! Deed reflects size of property as 2.351 acres.
