Description

Introducing Stillpond, a secluded 2.27-acre haven located in the highly desirable, walkable St. Davids neighborhood, just minutes from downtown Wayne. This custom-built contemporary home offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an extraordinary landscape featuring a pond, cascading waterfalls, a stream, and a grotto with a charming stone bridge. This peaceful retreat blends breathtaking natural surroundings with modern luxury, highlighted by a new roof added in 2022 and the recent removal of many trees, creating an expansive, inviting yard. Enter through double doors into a bright, sun-drenched two-story foyer with skylights and soaring ceilings. The spacious living room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, offers stunning views of the landscape, complemented by a magnificent stone fireplace that extends to the ceiling. The buttress-beamed ceiling adds architectural interest, while custom-built wood and art display boxes enhance the room’s design. Fully renovated in 2024, this home showcases high-end European materials, reflecting a sleek, mid-century modern aesthetic. Stunning Valinge real wood flooring enhances the space with exceptional design, durability, and waterproof features. These floors are 3–5 times stronger than traditional hardwood, providing both beauty and long-lasting strength. The newly renovated kitchen, imported from Denmark, boasts sleek cabinetry, heat-resistant DEKTON countertops, and state-of-the-art Samsung appliances, all synchronized via WiFi for ultimate convenience. Tall windows and bi-fold doors flood the space with natural light and open to a two-tiered deck, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, all while enjoying views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The dining room’s bi-fold glass doors fully open to the deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. With its versatile layout, the dining room comfortably accommodates both casual meals and formal entertaining. A spacious office could easily be converted into a bedroom, and features an atrium offering spectacular views of the property, a wine bar with Vinotemp-cooled wine storage, and custom oak bookshelves. The adjacent mudroom features a kitchenette, a side entry, a sink, and a doggy door leading to the fenced yard. The floating hardwood staircase leads to a second-floor balcony overlooking the living room. The primary suite opens into a flexible space that could serve as a sitting area, home office, or exercise room. The bedroom itself features a cozy fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with white Carrara tiles, double sinks, a walk-in shower, and custom German rainfall faucets. Three additional bedrooms and a beautifully updated hall bath, showcasing modern finishes and European influences, complete the second floor. This home’s mechanicals are housed in a meticulously maintained utility room, which includes a Rain Bird irrigation system, central vacuum, security system, and Weil McLain boiler, with maintenance records available. A Kohler generator offers added peace of mind. Located for easy access to major routes, including the 476 Blue Route, King of Prussia Mall, and Philadelphia International Airport, this home is just a short walk to St. Davids train station and downtown Wayne. Stillpond combines convenience, luxury, and natural beauty, offering an unparalleled lifestyle of privacy in one of the Main Line’s most sought-after neighborhoods. With property taxes reassessed in 2021 at $19,904, this remarkable property awaits your personal touch. * More photos will posted on Thursday, October 17th - photos of 3 more bedrooms, office, half bath, mudroom and workshop (behind the garage)
