This meticulously updated Colonial Revival gem originally built in the late 18th century and expanded in 1927 by renowned architect R. Brognard Okie is set on a breathtaking 2.5-acre private lot with a terraced lawn and endless views of Gulph Creek and beyond. Formerly the manor house of Woodstock, the Van Pelt estate at Radnor, it offers over 8000 square feet of living space above grade, complete with the original features installed by Okie, plaster on stone construction, eighteen-inch-thick stone walls, solid wood shutters, root cellar, spring house, and a recently built oversized 4-car garage. With over 100 feet of linear southern exposure, the home boasts gracious sun-filled rooms that flow seamlessly into one another, perfect for entertaining, each space offering large deep-set windows, with two sets of French doors and four additional 16- lite doors leading to multiple terraces and extensive views. High ceilings, beautifully restored original random width pegged floors, incredible millwork, 11 dramatic fireplaces, solid wood interior doors, wrought iron hardware, stunning craftsmanship including Okie designed built-ins and customized expanded spaces throughout the residence hint at the grandeur of yesteryear but perfectly suit today’s lifestyles.
