Established in 1851, this Villanova Estate?s grounds were inspired by the neighboring Chanticleer Gardens. At this point in history the influence of Quaker beliefs held by William Penn and many early founders in the area, spoke to the importance of gardens as a natural extension of a home. They provide a place for reflection, admiration of nature, and an ideal arena for entertaining. With this in mind, this home was built on nearly two acres of land, with the home positioned to overlook the sprawling gardens.

This stunning stone home reflects the elegance of the era, featuring a magnificent staircase, elegant formal living and dining rooms, and elevated moldings and millwork throughout. Double French doors provide access to a covered patio located off of the formal living room and one can step through the Dutch Door to a rear terrace that looks upon the garden and pool. The formal rooms on the primary floor are accentuated by a series of beautiful arched doorways that lead to the kitchen and family room. Upstairs, six bedrooms and three full bathrooms span over two floors, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom.

This property is special. There are few left that hold the original oversized private acreage and are minutes from the Wayne Historic District, Chanticleer Garden, Radnor Trail, Radnor Valley Country Club, and Villanova University.

This home is looking for a steward who appreciates the historic grandeur of the historic Main Line. Come make this piece of history your own!
