Property Description
Inside, the home's soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and thoughtfully crafted architectural details create an atmosphere of grandeur and light. The formal entryway opens to expansive living and entertaining spaces, where gleaming floors, arched passageways, and custom millwork elevate the home's aesthetic. The dramatic two-story family room serves as a true centerpiece, anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace and a wall of windows that frame picturesque views of the private rear grounds. The gourmet eat-in-kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a two-tiered center island with prep sink, granite countertops, bespoke cabinetry, large pantry and premium appliances, including a Wolf range with pot filler and a built-in refrigerator. A butler's bar with fine woodwork and wine storage adds a sophisticated touch for hosting gatherings, while the adjoining breakfast room offers an inviting space for everyday dining. A formal dining room with tray ceiling and wainscoting, elegant living room with fireplace, private office, full bath, powder room and convenient mudroom complete the main level.
The upper level offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite designed as a private retreat. This sanctuary features vaulted ceilings, a spacious sitting area, walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, water closet with bidet and an oversized glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms are equally refined, each with ample closet space and access to beautifully appointed bathrooms. The convenient laundry room and staircase to full size attic complete this level. The 3000+ square foot fully finished lower level expands the living space with a spacious media/family room, large wet bar, hair salon with sink, an additional bedroom, bonus room, full bath, and direct walk-out access to the rear patio.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress with its multi-level deck and serene, park-like setting. Rolling lawns, landscaped garden beds, and mature trees create a picturesque backdrop for outdoor living. The location offers a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility—nestled in the quiet charm of Rydal, yet just moments from fine dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. The nearby Rydal SEPTA station ensures an easy commute to Center City Philadelphia, while the highly regarded Abington School District adds further appeal. A rare offering of scale, sophistication, and craftsmanship, 1514 Cherry Lane stands as one of Rydal's most distinguished residences—ideal for the discerning buyer seeking a home of exceptional presence and enduring value.
