415 Dove Lake Rd, Gladwyne, PA 19035

Property Description

A rare Lower Merion lakefront offering with expansive first-floor living, 415 Dove Lake Road pairs unobstructed water views and privacy with a highly functional, family-oriented layout. Set directly across from Dove Lake in Gladwyne, the home is defined by its setting—open water views, mature trees, and a quiet, tucked-away feel just minutes from Center City. The landscape and light shift throughout the day, creating a setting that is both visually striking and uncommon for the area. Thoughtfully expanded and rebuilt at the main level, the home offers over 3,300 square feet with a predominantly first-floor layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together, centered around a fireside living room that functions as the home’s primary gathering space. The kitchen is well-equipped for both daily use and hosting, with an induction cooktop, double ovens and two dishwashers. Glass doors open to a large patio and level, fenced yard, extending the living space outdoors. The setting supports a range of uses—from entertaining to play—while maintaining a sense of privacy. A circular drive wraps the property, providing ample parking and access to the attached garage, with an 18th-century springhouse offering additional storage or garden use. The bedroom layout is flexible and well-suited to a variety of needs featuring a first floor primary suite, with many options for expansion. A separate upstairs suite accessed by a dedicated staircase provides ideal space for guests, in-laws, or an au pair. Additional bedrooms across the main and upper levels offer versatility for family, office, or guest use. Recent improvements include a new driveway (2026), updated patio (2019), refreshed landscaping, and mechanical and electrical upgrades that support long-term livability. The result is a home that combines a rare natural setting with a practical, livable floor plan—offering both retreat-like surroundings and everyday functionality in one of Lower Merion’s most desirable locations.
