First time on the market since its custom construction in 1973, this striking four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath contemporary residence is sited on a beautifully elevated 1.07-acre parcel in Villanova's coveted Lower Merion Township, tucked along a quiet double cul-de-sac. Wide, terraced steps lead to a handsome foyer where lacquered black hardwood floors immediately set the tone. Owned and designed by a professional interior designer, the home is a confident study in black and white-highly styled, yet grounded by an abundance of oversized windows that flood the interiors with natural light and draw the surrounding landscape inward. To the left of the foyer, a sunken den offers a welcoming retreat, complete with custom shelving and an en-suite bath-ideal for intimate conversation, a private office, or gracious guest accommodations. To the right, the expansive family room features 9½-foot ceilings, custom windows, and sliding doors that open to the rear terrace, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living. This space connects seamlessly to the breakfast room and kitchen beyond. The kitchen is both sophisticated and highly functional, anchored by a black granite island with cooktop, double Dacor wall ovens, stainless steel refrigeration, and thoughtfully designed cabinetry. Generous storage throughout the kitchen and breakfast area ensures everyday convenience with everything close at hand. Through a wide cased opening, the dramatic dining room offers flexibility for two distinct seating areas. Long horizontal windows and a stylized feature wall add architectural interest and depth. Just beyond, a more formal living space is centered around a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and elegant gathering place. A beautifully appointed powder room completes this level. A circular staircase leads to the second floor, where three spacious family bedrooms-each with ample closet space-share a timeless hall bath finished in classic white tile with a tub and shower. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring custom-built closets flanking the bed wall and additional bespoke cabinetry designed to discreetly house a television and provide extra storage. The spa-like bath includes a double vanity with glass vessel sinks, a separate water closet, and a dramatic wet room with custom tub and shower. Refined finishes and a skylight continue the home's theme of light and connection to the outdoors. The conveniently located laundry sits just steps from the primary suite. A full lower level offers abundant storage and the opportunity for future finishing to suit additional recreational or living needs. Architecturally distinctive and thoughtfully designed, this Villanova contemporary offers privacy, light, and enduring style in an exceptional setting.
