723 Dixon Lane

Surrounded by curated natural beauty and just moments from Dove Lake, this classic 1950s Main Line residence blends privacy, convenience, and timeless character in one of Gladwynes most desirable cul-de-sac settings. The stately stone exterior, enhanced by a new Vermont -inch slate roof (2023), is set on nearly one acre of sweeping lawn and mature landscaping. 723 Dixon Lane offers 4,049 square feet across two levels with four to five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. A stone walkway leads to the front entry and welcoming foyer, flanked by a powder room and large coat closet. The home was thoughtfully designed to allow for a future full elevator here if desired. The main level features gracious, light-filled gathering spaces where old-world charm meets refined architectural detail. The dining room is framed by intricate mouldings and overlooks the serene rear grounds. All wallpaper and paint on this level are Farrow & Ball. A door from the dining room opens to the enclosed bluestone terrace with two skylights and a new metal roof (2023), offering an elevated vantage point over the heated pool (gas), gardens, and tennis court. Expansive windows throughout this level bring in exceptional natural light. A cozy den with built-ins provides an intimate retreat, while directly across the hall, a sophisticated prohibition-era bar showcases lighted glass shelving and dark wood cabinetry. The living room features hardwood floors, deep window sills, built-ins, and a paneled fireplace surround. A door from the living room opens directly onto the enclosed terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The custom eat-in kitchen sits just off the dining room and features Signature Cabinetry with soft-close drawers, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, six-burner Wolf stove with Best stainless-steel hood, double ovens, a large center island with undermount stainless sink, granite countertops, breakfast nook, pantry, built-in desk area, and rear mudroom. This back area also includes two rear staircases, offering excellent functionality and layout flexibility. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite occupies an entire side of the home. The sitting room can serve as a private office or be converted to a fifth bedroom. The spacious bedroom overlooks the grounds and includes extensive, lighted walk-in closets with custom designed built-ins with bench seating. The spa-like bath features two large vanities, a luxurious soaking tub, private water closet, and walk-in steam shower with bench seating. Farrow & Ball paint continues throughout this level. Bedroom three has a private hall bath, while bedroom four includes its own en-suite bath and walk-in closet. A newer addition above the garage offers a fifth bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, LVP flooring, new Marvin windows and French doors, a separately zoned thermostat and heat pump (controls both heat and A/C), custom kitchenette with Pietra del Cardosa granite countertops, lounge area and a custom-made by Metalmorphose wrought-iron balcony overlooking the grounds.
