    What's special

    If you have been looking for an AMAZING blend of LOCATION, HISTORY & MODERN day living, you will truly appreciate this unique VILLANOVA estate. Situated on an acre in the award winning Lower Merion school district, the Pear Grove property, dates back to 1760. George Washington and the continental army camped on the property on their way to Valley Forge in December 1777- you could own a chapter of American revolutionary history! The front door welcomes you into a warm, versatile setting that offers EVERYTHING for gathering, virtual learning & working from home. The main house is large & has been carefully updated for today?s discerning homeowner while still maintaining its ?olde world? charm. The three-story Federal-style farmhouse has 7 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, and 4 fireplaces. The main floor offers a huge gourmet kitchen, a generous size laundry/mud room, library with built-ins, formal dining & living rooms, and 2 powder rooms, all with impressive deep-sill windows, original doors and hardware, and pristine hardwood floors. The second floor boasts radiant heat floors, claw foot tubs, and a beautiful owner?s suite, complete with bedroom, bathroom, a variety of closets & a sitting room with a gas fireplace. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. The third floor has three generous sized bedrooms, a sewing room and full bath. The 4 zone heat and cooling system supported by PEX plumbing provides modern comfort and conveniences throughout. The estate comprises four structures: the main house, a playhouse, a potting shed and a two-story carriage house whose main floor has been transformed into a breathtaking Tuscan-inspired winery and tasting room, perfect for hosting large gatherings & charitable events. However this space well suited to a home business, studio, car collection to name but a few ideas! There are also three covered outdoor patios for relaxation. The beautiful, flat yard has mature magnolias surrounded by charming stone walls. It is located minutes from major roads, (I476, PA Turnpike, I76, Philadelphia International airport), and Main Line eateries, stores and boutiques, as well as being an easy commute to central Philadelphia via car or train (Septa R5). For the outdoor enthusiast, Valley Forge National Park, the Schuylkill River Trail, and Chanticleer are right nearby. You have to see Pear Grove to believe it! 2020-12-16
