About 401 Thornbrook Ave
Welcome to Thornbrook — a light-filled, beautifully updated home in the heart of Bryn Mawr. Offering 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a flexible floor plan, this residence is thoughtfully designed for comfortable daily living and effortless entertaining.
Enter through double doors to a dramatic two-story room — currently appointed as a dining room but equally suited for a family room, entertaining space, or other use to fit your lifestyle — with doors opening to an oversized wraparound deck. Off the foyer, the spacious living room with fireplace creates a warm, welcoming setting. A bar/butler’s pantry connects the living room to a private study (optional 6th bedroom) with a full bath.
The dining/kitchen zone flows into a bright eat-in kitchen, mudroom, and powder room. Just beyond, the family room features a second fireplace and custom built-ins, offering a cozy spot to relax.
Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own wing with a generous bedroom, large walk-in closet, and beautifully updated en-suite bath. Four additional bedrooms and two full baths provide abundant space for family and guests. A large walk-up attic offers potential for a gym, playroom, or additional flex space.
The finished lower level includes a fireplace, ample storage, and room for recreation or work. Additional highlights: 3-car garage, cedar roof, new heater and A/C, whole-house generator, and remodeled baths — all updated in 2019.
Designed by Neil Rambert, Architect, Thornbrook combines timeless architectural integrity with modern livability. Rambert’s practice begins with an “architectural history” study to ensure each home harmonizes with its setting while meeting contemporary lifestyle needs. Known for blending scholarship with practicality, his work seamlessly integrates classic Main Line character with fresh, functional design.
Conveniently located near top schools, major roadways, shopping, and dining, this home blends architectural pedigree with thoughtful updates in a prime Bryn Mawr location.
