Property Description
this historic stone colonial sits on nearly two acres of private, beautifully
landscaped greenspace. A sweeping circular driveway and stunning stone exterior
set the stage for a home rich in character and charm. Inside, gracious, freshly
painted living spaces unfold—complete with wide-plank hardwood floors, deep-
sill windows, intricate moldings and abundant natural light. The expansive,
window-lined living room with custom built-ins opens to the rear stone terrace,
while the centrally located dining room is ideal for both intimate gatherings and
formal entertaining. The stunning family room features vaulted ceilings, bespoke
cabinetry and picturesque views of the bucolic grounds. At the front of the home,
the updated eat-in kitchen boasts new appliances, Quartz countertops, peninsula
seating, beautiful Bay windows and a convenient butler's pantry for seamless
hosting. Additional main floor highlights include a home office with custom
window seat, powder room and two adjacent bonus rooms ideal for home
exercise, play or studio space. Upstairs, the serene primary suite occupies its own
wing and features a walk-in closet, dedicated dressing area and peaceful porch
retreat. A jack-and-jill bath connects it to a sunny secondary bedroom, while three
additional bedrooms—including two joined by another jack-and-jill bath—and a
full hall bath provide ample accommodations for family and guests. The finished
lower level offers even more flexible space for recreation, lounging and play.
Outside, the impeccably maintained grounds transform the property into the
ultimate open-air retreat. Enjoy your own private tennis court, chipping and putting
green, expansive rolling lawns and lovely stone terrace made for entertaining and
dining under the stars. The home's plentiful parking includes an attached two-car
garage, detached three-car garage and generous driveway space. Ideally situated
within the acclaimed Radnor Township School District, this home is walkable to
Villanova University and Stoneleigh Gardens and mere minutes from local transit,
major commuter routes and many popular Main Line shopping and dining
destinations. Don't miss this chance to inhabit a one-of-a-kind estate with a rare
blend of convenience, privacy and prestige!
