Originally constructed in 1937 by Philadelphia architect Julian A. Fay, this 10,000+ square-foot Georgian Colonial has been meticulously restored, renovated, and expanded by its current owners.
Renowned architect Louise Brooks skillfully preserved the home's historic charm while seamlessly integrating contemporary living spaces to meet today's lifestyle demands.
Situated at the end of a long gravel drive lined with Bradford Pear trees, the expansive estate spans 9.5 acres and includes the main house, a pool and pool house, a two-bedroom guest house, and a Field House that epitomizes dream living.
