Description
Tucked away on a storybook street in the heart of Saint Davids, 3 Canterbury Lane is a timeless 1928 Colonial that radiates charm, privacy, and classic elegance from the moment it comes into view. Nestled behind mature hedges on one of Radnor Township’s most picturesque and sought-after lanes, this treasured Five-Bedroom, Three-and-a-Half-Bath residence has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for over fifty years and is now ready to welcome its next chapter. A stone walkway leads you to a screened front door that opens into a gracious front-to-back Foyer, where warmth and character instantly unfold. To the left, the formal Living Room spans the full width of the home, anchored by a handsome fireplace and framed by French doors on either side that lead into a spectacular four-season Sunroom. Bathed in natural light and wrapped in original stone walls, this enchanting space offers gleaming hardwood floors, charming built-in touches, and panoramic views of the property’s lush landscaping, manicured lawn, and serene pool setting—an oasis that can be enjoyed year-round and is destined to become the heart of many cherished memories. On the opposite side of the Foyer, the formal Dining Room evokes timeless sophistication with deep-set window sills, a classic built-in corner cabinet, and a swinging door that leads directly into the updated Kitchen. Here, modern convenience meets enduring style with granite countertops, a built-in cooktop, wall ovens, and a full wall of cabinetry to meet every pantry need. A delightful Breakfast Area sits beside a charming bay window, while a sliding glass door opens to a spectacular flagstone Patio framed by stone knee walls and extending the length of the home—creating a perfect flow for entertaining and everyday living. Just beyond the patio, a gate leads to the private Pool area, seamlessly connecting indoor comfort to outdoor leisure. The Kitchen also features a functional built-in desk area and a secondary staircase leading to the upper floors. A sweetly tucked-away Powder Room beneath the main staircase adds convenience and charm to the First Floor. As you ascend to the second floor, you’re greeted on the landing by one of the home’s most captivating architectural details—an arched window with a custom window seat, offering a peaceful moment of reflection and a beautiful tribute to the home’s historic roots. The Primary Suite is generously proportioned and includes a sunlit four-season Porch with built-in bookcases, perfect as a private office, meditation space, or reading retreat. The Ensuite Bath features a tub-shower combination and a timeless pedestal sink. Two additional Bedrooms on this level boast hardwood floors and built-in bookcases and are serviced by a beautifully updated Hall Bath with a luxurious soaking tub and a towel warmer for added comfort. The back staircase leads to a private second-floor wing, where Two more Bedrooms and a Full Bath create an ideal guest, in-law, or au-pair suite. The Unfinished Basement runs the full length of the home and offers endless potential for added living space—imagine a home gym, media lounge, playroom, or wine cellar—while still maintaining abundant storage. With its enduring architecture, magical setting, and rich history, this home is a true jewel in one of Radnor Township’s most beloved neighborhoods and within walking distance to downtown Wayne. 3 Canterbury Lane is more than just a house—it’s a legacy property where past and future blend effortlessly, inviting its next owners to embrace a lifestyle of comfort, beauty, and timeless elegance.
