Nestled in the heart of Villanova, 1522 Old Gulph Road invites you into a world of modern elegance and thoughtful design. This artfully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Cape Cod stands as a testament to warmth and pride of homeownership. Set on an exquisite, professionally landscaped lot that is almost 1 acre, an inground pool, and specimen plantings, this home offers the epitome of comfort and luxury. The 2-story addition in 2008 transformed the floor plan into a versatile haven which now offers both a first-floor bedroom suite and an upper-floor primary suite. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath to provide ample space for both family and guests. The large living room is bathed in natural light with a wood burning fireplace and hardwood floors. The formal dining room showcases a vast picture window overlooking the beautiful backyard patio and pool, creating an ideal space for gatherings. The modern chef's kitchen was meticulously renovated for function and style, and features honed granite countertops, a convenient center island, high-end appliances including a built-in Miele coffee station. The sunlit breakfast area opens to the breathtaking outdoors and a unique "garden/potting room" complete with basin, tiled flooring and a wall of windows that was part of the addition of the kitchen, bringing the beauty of nature inside. Two spacious rooms on the main floor have been converted into a spacious open-floor plan family room with an adjoining office, offering flexibility and modern living, along with a recently renovated first- floor powder room. The less apparent features of this home include a 2-zone heating and air conditioning system along with a recently replaced (2017) roof which seamlessly integrated with the sections added in 2008. The swimming pool underwent a lavish renovation in 2013, enhancing the allure of the outdoor space. The chimney was relined in 2020 and a full-house generator was installed in that same year to provide for additional peace of mind.
