Attention investors, builders, and those seeking to create their dream home—this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Edgmont history. Originally part of the Joseph Baker homestead from the late 1600s, this property was later known as Wenokin, a summer residence for Charles S. Lee of Philadelphia. In the late 1880s, Eber Eachus expanded the property, transforming it into its current French Provincial style with a mansard roof. Boasting over 3,600 sq ft of living space across three floors, this home has been in the same family since 1961. According to a 1991 survey, the property spans 3.991 acres of mostly flat land, surrounded by mature trees, offering a serene and picturesque setting. This estate is now waiting for a visionary buyer to restore it to its former glory. The home, in need of significant renovations, features architectural details from the 1800s, including large windows with deep sills, a back staircase, multiple fireplaces and stoves, solid wood antique 4- and 6-panel interior doors, and a wealth of old-world charm. The main floor includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a family room, along with the back staircase. The second floor features three generous bedrooms and a hall bath, while the third floor offers two spacious bedrooms, another hall bath, and a flexible room currently functioning as a large eat-in kitchen. Current zoning requires a minimum of 2 acres for subdivision. While a variance to subdivide was granted in 1991, it was never finalized. The potential for subdivision remains uncertain, and any due diligence regarding subdivision or zoning should be the responsibility and expense of the buyer. Don’t miss out on the chance to bring this historic estate back to life and shape its next chapter! Cash offers preferred. Possibly rehab financing.
