Elegant, charming, beautifully appointed
country manse, nicely tucked away at the end of a long
lane, and adjacent to conservation land.
Well-located in an area sought-after
for its beautiful vistas, gently rolling hills, picturesque covered
bridges and protected open lands, and for its close proximity
to Philadelphia.
Entirely custom designed, the residence is well-positioned
on grounds which are private and peaceful, and which offer spectacular views.
The property is adjacent to a larger landholding
which is under conservation easement ... this effectively creates
for this residence the feeling of a much larger property.
The grounds include a beautiful collection of plantings,
gardens and spaces for outdoor entertaining. Lawns are wide, lush, and very gently
sloping. From the residence, views sweep across
acres and acres of open meadow.
Late in the afternoon
and early evening, a spectacular view of the sunset can be enjoyed
from most of the rooms
... it is an uncommonly beautiful and serene setting.
In its elegant simplicity, in its warm sun-filled interior, in its neatly trimmed
gardens and the natural beauty of its surroundings, this residence
recalls the cottages and villas found throughout the European
countryside.
The residence was designed and built to provide interior spaces
which are comfortable, quiet, well-proportioned, and filled with
natural light. The architectural elements, finishes, and attention to detail throughout the residence
are truly exceptional.
Interior spaces are bright and inviting,
with an easy, natural flow from room to room and from level to
level.
Beautifully appointed throughout. There
is a formal living room filled with windows and a magnificent
fireplace, and french doors lead to an outdoor terrace. The Dining Room, similarly filled with windows and natural light,
overlooks the rear lawns. Furniture-grade millwork, mouldings,
and extensive built-in cabinetry are found throughout the residence.
The master suite is finished to perfection, with an elegant vaulted
ceiling and french doors which lead to an outdoor terrace overlooking
the grounds. Adjacent the master bedroom, there is a master bath suite with extensive tile and furniture-grade
custom cabinetry.
The residence is particularly well-suited to entertaining. Many
parties and social events have been enjoyed here; guests find
themselves very much at ease in rooms which are as beautifully
appointed as they are comfortable and inviting.
The kitchen has been custom-designed, and includes a full complement
of gourmet-calibre appliances. Also included is a large butlers’ pantry, service
area, large workspaces, and much, much more. The kitchen is filled with windows
and natural light.
Ideal for use as a primary residence or alternatively, as a weekend
country home. In immaculate condition.
Shown by private appointment only.
All inquiries handled in confidence.
