A rare opportunity to purchase a new contemporary home on one of the Main Line's most commanding hilltop lots — with the chance to weigh in on select finishes before completion which is scheduled for early fall. Designed with soaring rooflines that deliver dramatic ceiling heights, extensive use of glass, and a material palette rooted in natural warmth, this nearly 5,000 SF home was conceived as a serious architectural statement. Through the pivot door on the main level and beyond the two-story atrium you’ll find a formal living and dining room that flow through to a kitchen built around an oversized island with seating for six and a walk-in pantry with dedicated prep space — then continues into a family room and out to the terrace. On the lower level, a flex room and mudroom are practical transitions from the 2-car garage, and marry the main floor to the basement below with open spaces and a utility room. Upstairs, you’ll find 5 total bedrooms, including two en-suites and a laundry space as well as a shared bath. The primary suite features high angled ceilings and a welcoming foyer that contributes to almost 1,000 sq feet of total space, and includes an enormous custom closet, generous bath and its own office/flex space leading out to its own patio. The landscaped grounds take full advantage of the elevated site, with planned bluestone terracing, curated plantings, and a woodland buffer that gives the property a sense of remove while remaining minutes from everything. As with new construction, the builder reserves the right to make changes to finishes, materials and specifications until the property is under contract. Center City Philadelphia is 15 minutes away by car or a short SEPTA Regional Rail ride. Belmont Hills Elementary, the Bala Cynwyd Library, and the neighborhood swim club are all nearby. The best of the Main Line — dining, shopping, community — is at your doorstep.
