French

Elegant and beautifully refined, this French Norman residence combines timeless architecture with sophisticated modern living. Set on Bryn Mawr’s coveted Hillbrook Road, the home offers four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. A two-story stone foyer introduces the interiors, opening to a step-down living room with French doors leading to a bluestone terrace. The dining room’s parquet floors lend a sense of craftsmanship and history, while the rich wood-paneled library—with fireplace—creates an inviting retreat for work or relaxation. The kitchen is a showpiece of design and functionality, featuring Beaumanière limestone floors, a striking mix of honed Absolute Black and polished Calacatta Caldia marble counters, custom “Cottage Black” cabinetry, and hand-forged hardware. Top-tier appliances and an adjacent keeping room with a vaulted wormy chestnut ceiling make this the heart of the home. A separate breakfast room with a trayed ceiling provides a bright, casual dining area. Upstairs, retreat to the luxurious primary suite, complete with a windowed ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Each additional bedroom is well-proportioned, offering comfort and versatility. The basement could be easily finished for additional living space. Outdoors, a private patio and private yard offer an idyllic setting for alfresco dining or relaxation. The attached garage provides secure parking and additional storage.
