Philadelphia Living: The exclusive carriage homes of Haverford Reserve are specially designed to be reminiscent of European villages. With a landscaped, tree-lined complex entrance, the homes are situated on a rolling hillside, offering stunning views.

Homeowners have access to miles of walking, hiking and biking trails, all adjacent to 124 acres of preserved passive open space and 45 acres for active recreation. At the same time, Haverford Reserve is only a short drive from Center City Philadelphia and located within minutes of upscale shopping, dining and entertainment. This offers residents peaceful country living with easy access to big-city amenities.

All homes offer nine-foot first and second floor ceilings, solid core doors with Schlage hardware, and wood jams and trim. The walls are lined with colonial trim and six-inch nominal baseboards. Red oak hardwood flooring completes the foyer, kitchen, breakfast room, dining room and powder room. The two-car garages come with carriage-style doors and all homes are equipped with energy efficient HVAC, and Andersen 400 Series windows with energy efficient Low-E glass.

Bathrooms feature Kohler faucets and accessories throughout, including a Kohler soaking tub in the master bath and Kohler pedestal sink in the powder room. Spa-inspired tile surrounds the master bath with 42-inch high vanity mirrors. Gourmet kitchens are appointed with custom Century Cabinetry in the buyer's choice of oak, cherry, or maple. Stainless steel Viking gas cooktop, a double wall oven, an Asko dishwasher, space-saving undercounter pull-out Sharp Microwave Drawer, a Kohler pull-out kitchen sink faucet and stainless steel sink basin complete the gorgeous kitchens.

Homes range from 3,300 to over 3,800 square feet and are fully customizable. Additional luxury amenities are available including furnished lower levels, wine cellars, elevators and saunas.
