Property Description
Welcome to 1291 Thomas Rd, an exceptionally updated and expanded home set on a premium lot in the coveted Glenhardie neighborhood of Wayne and the top-ranked T/E School District. Much more than a traditional split-level, this home offers all finished living levels with short, easy transitions between floors, minimizing stair climbing while providing an exceptional combination of space, privacy and flexibility. What truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle it offers, with a private, resort-like setting designed to be enjoyed in every season. Imagine summer days relaxing around your own heated in-ground pool, cozy winter evenings by the wood-burning fireplace, morning coffee in the spectacular four-season sunroom, and effortless entertaining that flows from the sunroom to the deck, pool and expansive grounds. Beyond the fenced backyard and pool area is a generously sized side yard with substantial usable open space for recreation, gardening, play, pets and entertaining. A truly rare property that combines four-car garage capacity with a dedicated, professionally equipped private office, features seldom found together in a residential setting. Two separate 2 car garages provide exceptional parking and tremendous storage, along with two EV charging points. Tucked privately behind the detached garage is a true professional office setup complete with a glass writing board, dedicated heating and air conditioning and additional office amenities. Just steps from the home yet separated from everyday household activity, it provides an exceptional setup for professionals, entrepreneurs or anyone wanting serious workspace without sacrificing valuable living space inside the home. The covered front porch opens to a welcoming entrance hall with hardwood flooring, exposed brick and a skylight. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-ins and flows into the formal dining room. At the heart of the home is the beautifully renovated kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry, granite countertops and center island, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a skylight. Just beyond is the spectacular four-season sunroom with tile flooring, exposed beams, skylights and three sliding glass doors connecting directly to the side yard, pool and newer deck with retractable trellis awning. The second level features hardwood flooring and a spacious owner's suite with two skylit walk in closets, an additional double closet and a renovated en-suite bath with an oversized steam shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, an updated hall bath and the convenience of a second washer and dryer complete this level. The private third floor offers tremendous flexibility as a fourth bedroom, guest suite or second owner's retreat, with generous closet space and its own beautifully renovated full bathroom. The driveway level features an exceptional mudroom, cubbies, generous closet space, a renovated powder room and a well-appointed laundry room with sink and storage. The finished lower level, a rare feature among Glenhardie split-level homes, provides additional space for a family room, game room, home theater or fitness area and comes equipped with a projector and surround speaker system. Recently refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, plantation shutters, extensive hardscaping and numerous improvements further enhance this meticulously maintained home. A natural gas hookup has already been brought to the property by PECO. Ideally located minutes from shopping, parks and schools, 1291 Thomas Rd offers something increasingly difficult to find in Wayne: resort-like living, an expansive premium lot with room to grow, four-car garage capacity, two EV charging points, a true professional home office and exceptional indoor and outdoor living space. This isn't simply a home with more space. It's a home with more possibilities. Room to live, room to entertain, room to work and room to grow.
