Rare treasure. Exquisitely renovated stable with separate guest cottage tucked privately on enchanting grounds a stone's throw from the Merion Golf Club. Once part of the historic Millbrook Farm estate, this property has been transformed with style and grace, blending original character with modern sophistication. Thoughtfully reimagined by an Owner with an exceptional gift for design, and executed by a second-generation craftsman/Builder (whose father also renovated the stable in 1985), the home is rich with legacy and layered detail. Original 22-inch stone walls and exposed columns on both levels honor the building's equestrian roots. Thoughtful touches"”soft jute rugs, exposed beams, sliding barn doors, fine antique hardware, a perfectly placed Dutch door, beadboard paneling, and well-placed skylights"”create a depth of authenticity rarely found. As featured in Main Line Today, the experience begins as French Spanish cedar double doors open to a vaulted entryway, highlighted by a skylight and V-groove paneling. Wide-plank reclaimed heart pine floors with black walnut plugs guide you into a beautifully designed living space. The intimate dining room, wrapped in knotty pine paneling with coffered ceiling and anchored by a striking light fixture, gives way to a warm, open-concept kitchen and family room. The custom-designed kitchen features open shelving, white Kountry Kraft cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, and classic white subway tile. An oversized wormy chestnut butcher-block island with a farmhouse sink serves as the centerpiece, illuminated by a pair of lanterns echoed in the adjacent living space. A cobalt-blue range adds a stylish punch of color. Additional sets of French Spanish cedar doors connect the interior seamlessly to a terrace on one side and large covered porch on another, an indoor-outdoor flow that is perfect for entertaining. The cozy family room boasts deep silled windows, exposed brick detail and is finished with a slate surround gas fireplace. Every inch of the space invites you to gather, truly serving as the heart of the home. A powder room and coat closet at the entry complete the main living space. The highly sought after first-floor primary is enveloped with views of the private grounds. Its sumptuous bathroom boasts high ceilings, steam shower with metal-framed glass door, double vanities, and sleek Hamilton Sinkler chrome fixtures. The built-in soaking tub with Carrara marble deck is tucked beneath a window, which was formerly part of a stable door. A walk- in closet is accessed off the primary bathroom. A thoughtfully organized laundry suite with sink and more Carrera marble countertop finishes off the primary suite. Upstairs, the former hayloft has been transformed into a retreat with three bedrooms and a central sitting area. Two of the bedrooms enjoy full bathrooms with immaculate white subway tile. The third includes a clever ensuite with toilet and sink, and can access both full baths from the hallway. Sliding barn doors provide privacy while preserving the open, loft-like ambiance. Step outside and follow a brick path to the fully renovated cottage. This space offers even more versatility, with a small kitchen, gas fireplace, and full bathroom.
