Very little of 520 Greystone Road is what you’d expect from the outside looking in. This million-dollar Merion Station masterpiece represents the unique convergence of handcrafted creativity.

Literally.

Once part of a fractured estate, this five-bedroom, 4,237-square-foot House of the Week is the result of beautifully spliced carriage and Dutch Colonial houses, according to a Philadelphia Magazine showcase by Sandy Smith.

The family sleeping quarters reside in the main house, with the spacious master suite and sitting room underneath three upstairs bedrooms. Guests, meanwhile, get the one-bedroom carriage house, equipped with a kitchenette and living room.

Between the two are a foyer and great room that loom large with an 18-foot exposed ceiling that surrounds you with beautiful woodwork: knotty pine ceiling boards, custom cabinetry, and hardwood floors. The wood theme continues with a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by brick and a spiral wooden staircase that leads up to a loft balcony.

The charm of the outdoors is never far, as a solarium with French doors bridges the transition, and multiple patios dot the backside of the house.

And the .66-acre property is mere walking distance from the Merion Regional SEPTA station and Merion Park. Or pull an electric car out of the equipped two-stall garage, and drive down City Avenue or beyond.
