215 Wakefield Rd, Bryn Mawr, PA, 19010
REAL ESTATE TRIFECTA! When you become the new owner of 215 Wakefield
Rd., Bryn Mawr, you will feel like you hit the Trifecta! Winning (1) A Unique Built
to Last Home with Fortress Strong Exterior and Interior Solid Stone Walls on (2) A
Perfect Lot in (3) A Walk to Town & Park Location! This mid-century
architecturally stunning Six Bedroom Five Full, Two Half Bath custom built home
is on a flat professionally landscaped oversized lot with inground pool &
hardscaped patios. It boasts panoramic views directly into Ashbridge Park. Topping
it off, the location is fabulous! Walk to downtown Bryn Mawr with its five-star
dining, walk to a park with tennis courts and playground & walk to Rosemont train.
As you enter the ample foyer you are greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings as high as
seventeen feet and floor to ceiling glass windows in the five hundred square foot
skylighted Great room. The far stone wall features large, commissioned lead glass
windows that transmit full spectrum light. The desire to reconvene with nature
greatly influenced the mid-century movement and gave birth to the open first floor
concept with incorporation of natural materials to create a timeless aesthetic. You
will marvel at the stunning stone interior walls in the Foyer, Great Room, Dining
Room, Library, Kitchen, and lower-level walk-out to pool Family Room. The
central Great Room and Library Wraparound Fireplace is constructed of 560,000
pounds of local sourced quarry stone that would be cost prohibitive to replicate
today. Walnut railings, true wood walnut paneling and interior exposed beams
create an inviting living space with a cool vibe. This home includes two guest suites
which provide room enough for family and visitors. A ten-ton geothermal closed
loop HVAC system significantly reduces energy costs to heat and cool the home.
A true work of art this Modernist, mid-century custom-built home with a rich
history is truly one of a kind. Experience design elements that meld the outdoors
and indoors together seamlessly. Uninterrupted views of 28.8-acre Ashbridge Park,
with its long scenic walking paths, are seen through the large expanses of extra
thick glass windows in every room at the back of the home. Outside, the rear of the
home features two spacious stone walled slate floored patios. The upper patio
extending off the Great Room has a resort sized chess board sparking the
imagination for a fun outdoor tournament. The lower patio extending off the Family
Room provides a gorgeous setting for outdoor dining and lounging in front of the
pool & the flat professionally landscaped soccer field sized grass back yard.
Extensive outdoor lighting illuminates the gorgeous setting as the day wains. In the
front of the home a broad circular driveway lined with Belgian blocks is accented
by a sundial medallion. The home features a partially heated second drive down to
the spectacularly outfitted garage.
