810 Merion Square Road, Gladwyne, PA 19035

Property Description

Commanding a premier position on one of the Main Line’s most storied streets, this Stone Colonial reflects the architecture, setting, and heritage that define Gladwyne at its finest. Set on expansive, level grounds of 1+ acre encompassing two separately deeded lots, the home offers classic stonework, mature trees, and a sense of provenance that sets it apart. With decades of careful stewardship by one family, the home carries a legacy of pride and care, having accommodated changing needs while preserving the elegance at its core. Inside, sunlight moves through well-proportioned rooms, highlighting traditional millwork and creating a welcoming flow suited to everyday life. A gracious foyer provides sightlines to the principal rooms and a natural place for guests to gather. A sweeping staircase traces the curve of a graceful wall, creating an architectural centerpiece that enhances the home’s classical design. Anchored by a fireplace, the living room invites relaxed evenings and conversation, and includes a glass-paneled door opening directly onto the covered porch. Long the setting for family meals and holidays, the dining room features a custom china cabinet. The covered porch and adjacent flagstone patio extend living outdoors for morning coffee, dinners under cover, and play across the grounds. The kitchen offers ample counter space, a center island with counter seating, multiple work zones, and skylights that brighten the room throughout the day. The home’s original exterior stone wall—now exposed within the kitchen, breakfast room, and mudroom—adds natural texture and anchors these spaces with the home’s original character. In the adjoining breakfast room addition, enhanced by added light and space, a large bay window frames sweeping views of the rear grounds, making each meal feel connected to the outdoors. Just beyond, a comfortable family room becomes the home’s informal heart, with warm natural light, abundant windows, and custom cabinetry—an ideal spot for reading, casual gatherings, or unwinding at the end of the day. This room also features a set of glass-paneled French doors opening to the flagstone patio. A powder room sits nearby. Along the side, a window-lined family entrance leads to a mudroom with inside access to the garage. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a serene retreat with windows on three exposures, a dressing area with built-in cabinetry, and a private bath with both tub and shower. Additional bedrooms continue the home’s classic character and enjoy convenient access to baths on this level. A walk-up attic offers finishable space and easy-access storage, presenting future potential while remaining functional today. On the lower level, a finished recreation room features recessed lighting, a drywall ceiling, custom cabinets and bookcases, closet storage, and a stone-surround fireplace. In the adjacent unfinished area, abundant storage accompanies the laundry and mechanicals; the laundry includes a stainless utility sink. Outside, the expansive grounds, mature trees, and a garden area outlined by knee-height stone walls with a small fish pond create a peaceful landscape that naturally becomes a playground for children and a backdrop for outdoor life in every season. A whole-house generator adds peace of mind. Homes offering this level of character, acreage, and long-held architectural lineage rarely come to market.
