901 Mill Creek Road GLADWYNE, PA 19035

If you’re looking for a cookie cutter house and property, Flint Hill is definitely NOT for you. If, however, you are looking for absolutely extraordinary grounds, a thoughtfully laid out floor plan and unrivaled privacy in a location convenient to everything, this property might be the perfect fit. This Walter Durham classic is situated atop a graceful hill and completely surrounded by trees and other vegetation. The fenced (for deer) and gated property leads up the driveway to a large parking area. It continues behind the house to the 2+ car garage. One bay was converted to an artist’s studio, but can be easily returned to a third spot. The path the front door takes you by a lovely covered brick patio—outdoor “rooms” being a signature Durham detail. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors and windows as well as updated lighting and surround sound throughout. The large dining room features 3 walls of windows at the far end, creating the feeling of a greenhouse. The focal point is the magnificent brick patio and the rest of the grounds accessed by the French doors. Through the butler’s pantry, the large kitchen provides access to a covered porch for convenient grilling. There is plenty of counter space and a convenient island. Just past the kitchen is an unexpected family room with an informal eating area, a large, but cozy sitting area and lovely cherry floors. The other side of the house leads past a cozy den/library with built-ins and a fireplace as well as French doors to the rear patio. Next is the large living room which has plenty of room for multiple seating areas and offers another fireplace. It gives way to a lovely sun porch, which also features French doors to the back. This section of the house is all air and light. Upstairs, the primary suite is truly luxurious. The current owner incorporated what had been a fourth bedroom into this space and created a generous dressing area with gorgeous wood built-ins, a walk-in closet, tray ceiling over the bed, and plenty of upgraded lighting and a fireplace. The suite offers the luxury of both a powder room and separate full bath that features heated floors, a large shower, separate tub and balcony with French doors. Across the hall, you’ll find two more bedrooms with an updated hall bath in between. The rear bedroom had the roof raised and was extended out the back. The owner added a balcony to mirror the one in the primary bath. This bedroom offers the experience of being in a treehouse. The owner added additional closets in the third bedroom and it is still quite spacious and comfortable. The basement houses a laundry room, a gym, large crawl space used for storage, utilities and the entry to the artist’s studio and garage. Outside, the grounds are truly breathtaking. Several arbors, stone stairways, perennial beds, sitting “rooms” and paths make this property different from anything else you’ll see. The owner has added a (tasteful) hot tub that is invisible from inside the house and she has installed watering stations, outdoor lighting and power so the outside functions as both a refuge and/or a perfect spot to host any size gathering. There is even a newly rebuilt deck attached to the shed. If you’ve been searching for special property, come see Flint Hill. You won’t be disappointed.
