543 Foxglove Lane occupies one of the most desirable settings in Indian Creek, where open grounds at the rear reach to private woodland, a mature tree line wrapping the property in privacy. A tiered hardwood deck overlooks the lawn beneath a lattice-screen pergola drawn from Japanese garden design, an outdoor room this neighborhood rarely offers. Inside, the house is built around light and volume. A two-story great room rises to a skylit cathedral ceiling, anchored by a stone fireplace and crossed above by a second-floor bridge whose iron railing matches the open staircase. Arched passages carry the room to the entry on one side and the kitchen on the other. The kitchen centers on a curved granite island over a stone-clad base, travertine flooring continuing into a vaulted breakfast room: twin skylights, a curved bay of windows reaching into the trees, and a glass door to the deck. The main level continues with a dining room under alabaster pendant light and a library lined on three sides with floor-to-ceiling mahogany bookcases. A full bath nearby lets the library serve as a main-floor bedroom or guest suite. Upstairs, five bedrooms include a primary suite set apart in its own wing, vaulted, with private bath and walk-in closet. The finished lower level is daylit and walks out to the grounds, adding a recreation room, a sixth bedroom with egress window, and a full bath. The home sits within Lower Merion School District, minutes from the hospitals, the main transportation routes, the area’s shopping and dining, and the Center City commute.
