Welcome to 721 John Barry Drive, an elegant and expansive home nestled in the heart of prestigious Lower Merion Township.

A gracious circular driveway welcomes you to this serene retreat framed by mature trees and specimen plantings. Step inside to discover a bright and open floor plan accented by hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and thoughtful architectural details throughout. A wall of mirrored closets and a stylish powder room greet you at the entry. Just beyond, the sunken living room impresses with vaulted ceilings, a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and expansive windows offering uninterrupted and breathtaking views of the scenic backyard. To the left of the entry, a formal dining room flows seamlessly into the hallway and living areas and features a custom built-in table with seating for ten—plus additional leaves for expansion, making entertaining effortless. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both beauty and performance.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the light-filled family room features a second fireplace, skylights, and serene backyard views, with direct access to a screened-in porch for enjoying quiet mornings or warm summer evenings. A spacious office just off the family room offers built-in storage, a sink, and walkout access to the rear yard—ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The lower level, accessed off the kitchen, provides abundant additional storage and room for future customization One of several thoughtful additions to the home includes an expansive multipurpose room—once an art studio, now a flexible space that could serve as an enormous great room, gym, or game room, all with panoramic views of the backyard.

The bedroom wing features the primary suite with generous customized closet space, shower and soaking tub and door to rear yard access. Three additional ensuite bedrooms are positioned nearby, all designed to maintain privacy.. Step outside to a backyard oasis. The area between the house and the pool is elegantly hardscaped and accented by a cluster of River Birches, creating a tranquil transition to the resort-like amenities beyond. Enjoy a full-size tennis court, a sparkling swimming pool, and a well-equipped pool house complete with two full bathrooms, changing rooms, and a kitchenette—everything you need to entertain in style. 721 John Barry Drive offers a rare combination of luxury, flexibility, and natural beauty—all in one of the Main Line’s most coveted neighborhoods.
