This South Wayne home is the epitome of charming, yet has the advantage of larger room sizes and entertaining spaces. Historic in its feel, it is modern in every respect and much larger than it looks from the street. Stopping first at the amazing, welcoming porch with its accurate "haint" blue ceiling, enter into the inviting informal living room with original beamed ceiling and cozy wood burning fireplace, the perfect setting for a book or a conversation. The adjacent traditional, wainscoted dining room offers a light-filled space for family gatherings. A large addition in the back of the home provides an oversized family room/entertaining area open to the gourmet kitchen, which includes granite counters, a Subzero refrigerator, Viking range, beverage fridge, custom cabinetry and a huge island accommodating both prep and eating areas. Upstairs in the new area is the separately-zoned primary bedroom with walk-in California closet. A beautiful ensuite bath welcomes with subway wall tiles, basket-weave floor tiles, double sinks, marble countertops, underfloor heating and a spacious stall shower. Also part of the major renovation, the nearby hall full bath includes a laundry area. This room has underfloor heating, wood-look ceramic floors and a tub shower. There are 3 additional large bedrooms on this level, all benefiting from light from replacement windows, as well as another convenient full bath. Two more good-sized bedrooms/office areas are located on the 3d floor, along with a half bath. This home has historically accurate interior paneled doors, a newer roof, and a brand-new Crown boiler. There is a 2-car detached garage with electricity and loft storage. All windows are either Pella Architectural Series or Proline with low-E coatings. The yard is completely private, surrounded by hedges and graced by specimen trees, yet you are only a few blocks from two schools and all the amenities of the town of Wayne. Residents of South Wayne know it is one of the best places to live on the Main Line. This is a special home just waiting for a special new owner.
