1312 Partridge Lane

On 1.89 acres on the north side of Villanova, this all-brick colonial with a newer cedar roof offers a combination of location, setting, construction, and curb appeal that is rare at any price. The outdoor setting is exceptional. A swimming pool with flagstone deck, a covered terrace directly off the living room, a second terrace off the dining room, and a rolling lawn with mature specimen trees create an outdoor environment suited equally to quiet enjoyment and entertaining at scale. The natural rear boundary gives the property a privacy and visual depth that the acreage alone does not explain. Inside, pegged oak hardwood floors and a curved staircase set the tone at the entry. The living room has extensive millwork, a bay window, fireplace, and wet bar, with a door opening directly onto the covered terrace. The paneled study wrapped floor-to-ceiling in wood, with a fireplace and bay window on two exposures is a room with its own distinct character. The dining room opens through French doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen has hardwood floors, a gas cooktop, and a breakfast area with views to the grounds; an adjacent mudroom with laundry connects to the two-car garage. The primary suite occupies an entire wing of the second floor: sitting room, office, bedroom, and bath. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the second floor. A fifth bedroom and full bath are on the third floor. The finished lower level is daylit, walk-out, and opens directly to the rear grounds substantially extending the home's capacity for family use and casual entertaining. Whole-house propane generator. Two-car garage. Lower Merion School District.
