Tucked away on a truly secluded private lane in Haverford, this handsome stone Tudor is a rare Lower Merion offering - both for its setting and its architectural pedigree. Built in 1920 by the respected Durham & Irvine team, the home reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship and proportion that defined their… Read More work throughout the Main Line, where English-influenced forms were interpreted with academic rigor and enduring materials. A Moravian Tile Works floor introduces the step-up entry foyer, setting an immediate tone of quiet artistry. From this central point, the main living spaces unfold with intention: straight ahead, a bar area - currently styled as an intimate dining space - anchors the plan, while to the right an elegant formal dining room with fireplace is softened by a wide, curved window that draws the front landscape indoors. To the left, the paneled living room features a substantial stone mantel and fireplace, offering a warm counterpoint to the home's refined symmetry. Highly styled by noted local designer Leslie Hayes, the interiors feel chic and sophisticated while remaining deeply respectful of the original Tudor architecture. The original butler's pantry - beautifully intact and still highly functional - connects the dining rooms to the thoughtfully expanded kitchen, where a large Sub-Zero refrigerator and generous prep space support both daily living and entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen, a solarium-style breakfast room is a standout moment: an exposed original stone wall paired with full glass enclosure creates the feeling of dining outdoors year-round. From here, doors open to an expanded stone terrace, mature gardens, and a private rear and side yard - an extension of the home's natural sense of retreat. A few steps up, a dramatic family room with vaulted ceiling adds volume and flexibility, accompanied by a full bath and a walk-in laundry room. Above, a loft overlooks the space below, ideal for a home office or additional lounge. The second level is anchored by a private primary suite offering a gas fireplace, sitting room, custom closet built-ins, and a spa-like bath with marble flooring, a large marble-surround soaking tub, double sinks, and a walk-in marble shower with dual shower heads. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams complete the suite. A discreet back staircase from the primary closet leads to a private office with stone accent wall, built-in wood shelving, and a separate exterior entrance - an exceptional feature for those seeking true work-from-home separation. This floor also includes two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths, a hallway full bath, and an extra bedroom offering flexibility for guests or family. From the second floor, a door leads to a finished third-level space - currently used as a gym - with a fully remodeled full bath. A home of substance and subtle distinction, this Durham & Irvine Tudor blends historic integrity with thoughtful updates, all set within one of Lower Merion's most private and rarely accessed locations.
