148 Traymore Lane, Media, PA 19063

Property Description

Historic. Iconic. Coveted. The homes of Traymore are truly exceptional. Nestled into the rolling hillside of the former Saul Estate, each carriage house is sited to take full advantage of the many acres of open, wooded land around it. The original manor house still stands as a landmark of the Arts & Crafts movement that flourished in Rose Valley in the early 1900s. Next door, the Saul Wildlife Preserve offers runners, hikers and nature lovers an enchanting retreat among the trees along Ridley Creek. At 148 Traymore Lane, a charming exterior with distinctive Arts & Crafts details draws you in. Surrounded by the woods of the Saul Wildlife Preserve, the home feels quiet and secluded. A COVERED ENTRY PORCH with a generous seating area sets the tone. Inside, thick oak hardwood floors flow through the Foyer, Dining Room, Kitchen, Morning Room and Great Room, while new carpeting gives the Office a softer touch. The KITCHEN is a showstopper. At its center is an impressive, hand-crafted granite island with seating for four. Extra-height wood cabinetry sits above a hand tiled back splash, and the planning desk gets paperwork out of the way. The appliances are Bosch: a five-burner gas cooktop, self-cleaning convection oven, built-in microwave and built-in dishwasher. Jenn-Air Frig. The adjoining MORNING ROOM easily fits a table for eight. For larger gatherings, the FORMAL DINING ROOM, with chair rail and crown molding, is ready for holiday dinners. The GREAT ROOM is dazzling, with walls of windows to take in the views, built-in bookcases and a Lennox gas fireplace. Step out to the REAR DECK, which overlooks the patio below and has a dedicated gas line for grilling, perfect for barbecues and evening cocktails. Just off the Foyer, the generously sized OFFICE offers a quiet place to work. And the convenient Powder Room and two deep closets increase this floor’s functionality. The SECOND FLOOR opens onto a wide, deep landing with access to all four bedrooms. A luxurious PRIMARY SUITE anchors this level, with a stunning tray ceiling, corner windows overlooking the Preserve and ample room for a California King bed, large dressers and armoires. The lavish, light-filled PRIMARY BATH offers a WALK-IN SHOWER, SOAKING TUB, PRIVATE WATER CLOSET and DUAL-SINK VANITY with cultured marble counters.

A LAUNDRY ROOM, POWDER ROOM and a new carpeting in the 4TH BEDROOM over the garage complete this floor. The FULLY FINISHED BASEMENT adds versatile living space, with three distinct areas for recreation and entertaining.
