| This fabulous traditional home by the Main Line architecture firm of McIntyre Capron & Associates is slightly different than those we typically spotlight on our website, but we were really impressed with its character. It feels like a classic family home with its stone and clapboard exterior, raised panel shutters and interesting roofline. Take a look at some exterior and interior screenshots we've posted from the firm's website, and you'll understand why we decided to call attention to this lovely house! |

| The traditional facade of this lovely stone and clapboard home by McIntyre Capron Architects. Although this luxury home is new, it blends well among the existing houses in the classic Main Line neighborhood. |
 |
| A long, winding driveway leads to the portico-covered front door of this beautiful traditional home; majestic trees and mature landscaping provide a sense of serenity on the grounds. |

| (1) As guests enter the home, they arrive in this elegant foyer, with its impressive staircase, intricate woodwork and wide-plank hardwood floors. (2) Notice how nicely the floor plan flows: A great room is located straight ahead, with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows; the living room (with grand piano, built-in bookshelves and beautiful fireplace) is situated to the right. (3) Check out the fabulous lighting -- hanging lanterns grace the entrance hall. |
 |
| (1) A french door leading to the garden marks the end of the long hallway, which runs from one end of the house to the other. (2) Notice the intricate woodwork, all painted white, which keeps the home's spacious interior bright and unified. (3) The foyer also provides access to the lower level which features a fabulous entertainment area, billiards room and wet bar. |
 |
| The great room / family room located directly off the gourmet kitchen. Some of our favorite features include: (1) wooden box beam ceilings; (2) built-in bookcases; (3) the beautiful wood-burning fireplace with its black honed marble (or possibly soapstone) surround and antique brass sconces; (4) the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with window treatments that accent the sofa's throw pillows; (5) the layout of the furniture -- two classic club chairs and two comfy sofas -- all upholstered in an understated, complementary fashion. |
 |
| This beautiful white kitchen, with its custom cabinetry, is undoubtedly one of our favorite rooms in this classic home. Check out some fabulous details: (1) the gorgeous center island with polished marble countertop features a built-in sink with satin-nickel faucet; (2) upholstered stools add comfort and unity to the design of the space since the chosen fabric complements the sofa and club chairs of the connecting great room; (3) high-end appliances, such as Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, built-in oven and microwave, gas cooktop; (4) mix of wood and carrara marble countertops add interest... |
 |
| This beautiful kitchen features a sun-filled breakfast room completely framed by windows. A french door leads to the terrace, gardens and pool area. |
 |
| A mud room with another french door is as beautiful as it is convenient. This service entrance features built-in cabinetry with a home office station / desk area; plenty of closet space to store sports equipment, cleaning supplies, etc.; storage benches with upholstered cushions that complement the fabric used in the kitchen and great room; and a back staircase that leads to the upstairs bedroom suites. |
