Tucked into the highly desirable Fenimore community in Gladwyne, this classic stone colonial--Built by Pohlig Builders, long respected for their superior craftsmanship and thoughtful design--offers timeless elegance and exceptional functionality. Set on Summerhill, a quiet cul-de-sac within the community that hosts just three additional homes, the property enjoys a private setting and access to the neighborhood's open green space at the end of the street.
Finished across four beautifully executed levels, this home is designed to support both daily life and large-scale entertaining, balancing formal architecture with comfortable family living. A traditional center hall layout welcomes you with a gracious foyer flanked by a fireside living room on the right and a formal dining room on the left. Rich hardwood floors run throughout the main level, and the dining room connects seamlessly to a stylish butler's pantry--open in design to lend a sense of flow between serving and gathering spaces.
The kitchen is expansive and light-filled, anchored by a large, seated island and appointed with high-end appliances. A charming breakfast room, wrapped in windows, opens to one of two stone terraces--this one outfitted with a built-in grill and generous seating area overlooking the mature rear landscape and century-old tree line. The kitchen flows into a large family room where a vaulted ceiling adds volume and natural light. A wood-burning fireplace, flanked by windows and custom built-ins, centers the space with warmth and architectural presence.
The mudroom wing provides a secondary entrance with utility and elegance--complete with a potting sink, a discreet home command center for managing household needs, and one of two powder rooms. This area also includes access to the oversized three-car garage. A richly paneled library sits just beyond the living room, offering a quiet retreat or sophisticated entertaining space with views of the rear grounds.
Upstairs, the primary suite is an airy, serene retreat. A vaulted ceiling adds light and dimension, while his-and-hers walk-in closets and a spacious dressing area lead to a well-appointed bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub tucked under a window with custom shelving, a separate seated shower, and private water closet. In addition to the primary suite, there are five family bedrooms on this level. One offers a private en suite bath and walk-in closet. Two bedrooms are joined by a Jack and Jill bath, while the remaining two share a thoughtfully designed connecting bath. All bedrooms are generously sized with either walk-in or double closets. A large laundry room completes this level with added convenience
A secondary staircase leads to the third level, where a bright office, large walk-in closet, and extensive storage await.
The finished lower level offers multiple areas for recreation and relaxation, including a fitness room, wine cellar, billiards space, TV lounge, and a full bath. Natural light filters in, enhancing the livability of the space.
Tucked just off the family room is a second, more secluded stone terrace--a hidden garden room of sorts. Surrounded by stone walls for privacy and shaded by a pergola with mature climbing vines, this intimate space is centered by a stunning outdoor fireplace--an ideal spot for quiet conversation or evening gatherings.
A rare offering in one of Gladwyne's most sought-after neighborhoods, this home is at once refined and relaxed, grounded in classic design yet thoughtfully expanded for modern life.
