Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Luxury at 3 Applewood Drive
Nestled on a private cul-de-sac in the prestigious Reserve in Lafayette Hill, 3 Applewood Drive is a masterfully designed custom estate that redefines luxury living. Set on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot, this home offers both privacy and grandeur. From the moment you step through the African mahogany front door, you’re welcomed by a breathtaking chevron marble foyer, illuminated by a grand Maxim Lighting Chantilly chandelier—setting the tone for the home’s exquisite craftsmanship. A striking architectural staircase with wrought iron spindles winds elegantly upward, while 8-foot doors, 9-foot ceilings, and rift-and-quarter-sawn white oak floors extend throughout the main level.
At the heart of the home, a stunning 250-gallon saltwater reef aquarium serves as a captivating centerpiece seamlessly transitioning into the chef’s kitchen—a true culinary masterpiece. Handcrafted walnut cabinetry, a custom François & Co. marble backsplash, and a dramatic wall of custom cabinetry with wood-carved overlays over mirrored doors create a striking visual impact. Premium appliances, including a Wolf range, double wall ovens, convection steam oven, warming drawer, and Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, ensure effortless entertaining, complemented by two dishwashers and an expansive island.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room is a study in refined elegance, featuring an antique mirror backsplash, and a mosaic sink, all anchored by a built-in Miele coffee system. Across from the dining area, a sophisticated living room offers an intimate retreat for quiet reflection or lively gatherings. The family room exudes warmth with its coffered ceiling, custom François & Co. fireplace, and built-in cabinetry, while the sun-drenched solarium with radiant travertine flooring seamlessly extends the living space into nature. Completing the main level, the powder room boasts a Devon & Devon vanity and an Artistic Tile stone-and-brass accent wall, adding a touch of timeless luxury.
A Private Primary Suite Unlike Any Other
Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of unparalleled sophistication, transformed by a two-story addition. This serene haven includes a private den with a fireplace, TV, and under-counter refrigerator with refrigerator and freezer drawers—an elegant escape within your own home. The spa-inspired ensuite bath pampers with radiant heated floors (including the shower), a Kohler steam shower with light therapy, Walker Zanger tile, and marble countertops. A custom boudoir with a center island and a laundry room with dual washers elevate everyday luxury.
Beyond the primary suite, the upper level offers an inviting open loft area, perfect for a secondary lounge, reading nook, or study space. The 2nd floor includes three additional bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bath, ensuring ultimate comfort and privacy. One of these bedrooms boasts a full walk-in closet, adding an extra touch of indulgence.
Resort-Style Lower Level & Outdoor Sanctuary
The lower level impresses with a spacious family room, a private gym with mirrored walls and rubber flooring, and a fifth bedroom and full bath—bringing the home’s total to five full baths. A walkout leads directly to the resort-style backyard, where a heated saltwater pool, hot tub with a waterfall feature, and stone patio with a gas-assist fire pit create an idyllic outdoor retreat. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen—featuring a Lynx BBQ, warming drawer, built-in blender, and cocktail station—is framed by lush hydrangeas, roses, and raised garden beds, all overlooking the adjacent nature preserve.
