JULIE ELLIS HALL

Description

Welcome to 211 Bryn Mawr Avenue, an exceptional and fully reimagined residence where no expense was spared and nearly every component—interior, exterior, structural, and mechanical—has been rebuilt with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. This home offers the benefits of a modern open layout while maintaining the charm of an established Lower Merion neighborhood, all within walking distance to shopping, train access, churches, and synagogues. Enter through the new vaulted entry foyer, part of the same addition that creates a dramatic vaulted family room with skylights and abundant natural light. The foyer includes a double coat closet and a custom built-in drop zone, setting the tone for the home’s bright, airy, and modern feel. The open-concept main floor centers around an elevated kitchen with two-toned white and cashew custom cabinetry, wall cabinets to the ceiling with crown moulding, and all drawer-base lower cabinets for maximum function. A sheet-pan cabinet, pull-out trash system, and Edison quartz countertops on every surface—including the oversized island—combine style and efficiency. Samsung Bespoke appliances and a marble hexagon backsplash blend seamlessly with the white oak hardwood floors for a cohesive, high-end look. Adjacent to the dining area is a custom butler’s pantry with additional cabinetry, a full sink, and a beverage center. A new sliding glass door opens to a brand-new Belgard paver patio, refreshed landscaping, and a newly created driveway with parking for two cars. A rear-entry mudroom with another drop zone and a new powder room serves the main level. The upper floor offers three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a second-floor laundry area. Both bathrooms feature custom tile and all-new fixtures. Wide-plank white oak hardwood floors run throughout this level. The primary suite includes a built-in laundry area with a linen closet and a wide reach-in custom closet. The finished walk-up basement adds significant living space with a large family or recreation room, a full bathroom, and a private bedroom with egress—ideal for guests, extended family, an office, or a teen suite. This level also provides access to the new mechanical systems and excellent storage. All mechanicals are entirely brand new. A high-efficiency natural gas HVAC system with all-new ductwork provides comfort across all levels. The electrical system includes a new meter, service, 200-amp panel with AFCI and GFCI breakers, and all new wiring, complemented by hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The plumbing system has been fully replaced with PEX supply lines, PVC drain lines, updated fixtures, a tankless water heater, and new shutoff valves and meter connections. The home has been fully insulated from top to bottom, including exterior walls and ceiling cavities, greatly improving efficiency and comfort. New soffit and ridge venting ensure proper attic ventilation. LED recessed lighting on dimmers are installed throughout, and each upstairs bedroom is pre-wired for a ceiling fan. The exterior renovation includes new roofing, siding, energy-efficient windows and doors, upgraded underground drainage, new gutters and downspouts, and Belgard paver hardscaping. The new patio, fresh landscaping, and updated driveway create a low-maintenance, long-lasting exterior. This home represents a rare opportunity to purchase a complete, top-to-bottom renovation that lives like new construction—designed for today’s lifestyle with modern flow, premium efficiency, and beautiful finishes throughout.
