MONICA BUSH

Description

Welcome to 603 Fox Fields Road. This charming home is steeped in history and timeless elegance. Fox Fields, as the house is known, is a distinguished Main Line estate originally designed in 1910 by renowned architect Wilson Eyre for William Ellis, a prominent local figure. Nestled on .87 acres of lush, meticulously landscaped private ground, the historic stone walls, pillars and numerous arches evoke the grandeur of its past, seamlessly blending the historic charm with modern convenience. A fire in the 1970s and an addition in 2008, led to a thoughtful expansion of the home, introducing a spacious kitchen and family room along with additional upstairs bedrooms. Today, the estate offers five bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath and a fully finished basement, complete with a wine cellar and exercise room. Fox Fields is the perfect blend of old world charm and modern finishes to make for beautiful entertaining spaces and casual living. As you enter into the home you are immediately drawn to the beautiful staircase and openness of the floor plan. The dining room has ample space for hosting large gatherings and opens directly into the updated kitchen. White cabinets and white quartz countertops make this space sparkle. Appliances include a Sub- Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, two KitchenAid ovens, Thermador cooktop and a microwave oven. There is a seating area off of the kitchen which opens up to a gorgeous, light filled, family room with french doors leading to the back patio and porch for indoor/outdoor entertaining. This level is completed by the expansive living room that was the library of the original home and includes a gorgeous fireplace with a beautiful tile surround. Off of the living room is another covered patio for entertaining on warm summer nights. On the second floor, the primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a large bedroom, en-suite bath, and a serene private porch. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath with a double vanity, and an office/nursery complete this level. The third floor offers another private bedroom. There is a fully finished basement that has an exercise area and a wine cellar in what used to be the safe in the original home. Beyond the main house, there is a detached garage where you will find a “home away from home.” This space hosts a versatile apartment with a full bath, ideal as a home office, guest quarters, or in-law suite. The juliette balcony overlooks a “cottage”garden which backs up to a sport court that also belongs to the property. Fox Fields is a vibrant, close-knit family centered neighborhood, with a shared green space for dog walking and conversation , and has a reputation as “the trick-or-treating neighborhood.” Located in the top-rated Radnor School District, Fox Fields is central to the center of Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Newtown Square, Suburban Square, and Villanova. There is convenient access to the train to Center City from Bryn Mawr and quick access to 476 and all major highways for easy commuting or traveling to New York City.
