Hidden away -- at the end of a long, tree-lined private drive -- is this
charming historic stone residence, circa 1928. If you love historic homes, and you're looking for an absolutely private, and well-located property, you'll love this offering.
This offering, known as the 'South House' was originally part of the adjacent, much larger 'Milmoral' estate (also currently for sale at $1.695 milion, see Offering No. 84), and was built by the Eagleson Family as a wedding gift for their son and daughter-in-law.
Both Milmoral and the 'South House' are located in close proximity to some of the Philadelphia region's most noteworthy historic estates, including Lynnewood Hall (built by Horace Trumbauer for the P.A.B. Widener Family); Ronaele (built by Trumbauer for Fitz Eugene Dixon Sr. and Eleanor Widener); Curtis Hall (built for the Curtis publishing Family), and many others.
In all, the 'South House' includes over 1.3 acres of land, and is immediately adjacent to both the sprawling lawns and grounds of Milmoral, and, the Curtis Arboretum and its many acres of perpetual open space ... the setting offers absolute peace and privacy.
The 'South House' totals approximately 5800 finished SF, and features many wonderful architectural elements, including
original random-width wood floors, several fireplaces, deep windowsills, plaster walls, original mouldings and millwork, the original servants' quarters (great for an au-pair or as a guest suite)... and much, much more.
The 'South House' has been upgraded since its acquisition by the current Owners. The restoration work is notable for its quality and attention to detail, and all of the original charm and character of the residence has been retained.
One of the largest, most truly private and most charming historic homes on the market in this price range. An excellent value.
Extremely well-located
within 25-30 minutes of Center City Philadelphia, and within 10 minutes of
the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
For qualified purchasers, an absolute must-see.
