1105 Brynllawn Rd, Villanova, PA 19085

Abundant character and charm describe this stunning 1850 carriage house whose history can be traced through several historic periods of Main Line growth and development. Beautifully renovated and expanded by renowned architect, Helen VanVliet, this unique home maintains its vintage architectural design including the original Ludowici tile roof, and also offers the amenities for today's lifestyle. The center portion originally housed carriages and was described as an open porch, but has been transformed into fabulous living space - a front to back Entrance Hall and Great Room w/ 9 ft. ceilings, free standing stone fireplace and stone walls. The first floor MBR suite w/stone fp, MBA and doors to patio was added during renovation. The newer spaces blend seamlessly with the old, and the LR w/fp, DR, and Library all retain their original moldings and architectural interest. The Library has woodwork, wainscoting and built in bookshelves and cabinets all made of walnut. The kitchen and charming breakfast nook w/ stone arches and beautiful windows form the center of the house, connecting the old and the new. 2nd floor houses 3 delightful bedrooms, renovated hall bath w/claw foot bathtub, and dramatic office/exercise room w/ vaulted, exposed timber ceiling and spiral staircase to Great Room. Unfinished attic over the garage provides ample storage and partial basement houses the laundry facility. At one time, there were twin carriage houses that faced each other and shared the same drive into the estate, but the twin has been replaced by another home and the two properties continue to share a portion of the common drive. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Main Line history in one of Lower Merion's most elegant neighborhoods!
