Welcome to 401 Chestnut Lane, a beautifully renovated home that blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates. Nestled in the enchanting community of North Wayne, this "walk to Wayne" historic gem graces one of North Wayne's most desirable corner lots with a sizable flat yard and beautiful mature trees and landscaping. With 7 bedrooms and 5 baths (3 full and 2 half bathrooms), this home is ideal for those seeking a vibrant, family-friendly neighborhood filled with year-round events like progressive dinners, bookclubs, parades, holiday celebrations, and more.
North Wayne offers a storybook setting, with tree-lined sidewalks, and is a short stroll into the lovely town of Wayne with its award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, bars, independent stores, and the Wayne train station with direct service into Philadelphia and beyond. Nearby amenities also include the Wayne Library, post office, Radnor Middle School, Lancaster County farmer's market, several colleges and universities, grocery stores, banks and medical facilities. Several parks and playgrounds are a short walk or bike ride away and even a neighborhood pond for fishing in the summer and ice skating and sledding in the winter!
Built by Wendell and Smith in 1895, the "Round End House" design showcases curved leaded glass windows, uniquely carved newel posts and spindles, and detailed millwork. An inviting deep front porch with gorgeous stone pillars, a wide staircase, and a ceiling fan overlooks the beautifully landscaped front lawn, and is the perfect perch year-round. The lush surroundings, filled with mature trees and blooming flowers, provide a serene backdrop for relaxation and entertainment.
Inside, you are welcomed into the oversized entry foyer with its charming original architectural details. The large living room beckons with its stunning curved windows, handsome custom millwork and built-ins surrounding the fireplace, which has been conveniently converted to gas. To the other side of the entry hall is a room with a half bath and glass doors that is ideal for a home office or a child's playroom. Further down is another room with sliding pocket doors to the kitchen that can serve as a cozy family room or dining room. At the rear of the house is the spacious bright kitchen which boasts an abundance of windows providing natural light throughout the day, plenty of cabinets and storage, high-end appliances including a Viking dual-fuel range, a JennAir wall oven and microwave, and two JennAir integrated refrigerated drawers. The oversized center island features a large sink, Bosch dishwasher, and has seating area for at least four stools. The island and all cabinetry is complemented by striking Carrara marble countertops. A convenient wet bar area is nearby with a beverage cooler, ice maker and handsome leathered granite top. The breakfast room's wall of glass opens onto a delightful Ipe deck and stone patio, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
The luxurious primary suite offers windows on all sides, an oversized walk-in closet as well as two additional mirrored closets, and an elegant spa-like bath featuring two separate vanities, radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, towel warmer, and an expansive shower with double rain heads. All bedrooms have ample closets. Handsomely updated hall baths are on the second and third floors.
