Property Description

This stately home sits proudly on the highest elevation in the vastly sought after historic neighborhood of Overbrook Farms, Philadelphia, known as The Gateway to the Main Line. You enter this Georgian Brick Mansion designed by renowned architect, Horace Trumbauer, through a massive, solid Mahogany door into a 3 story open staircase foyer naturally illuminated by the oversized windows on each of the 3 landings. A Powder Room, large coat closet, sitting area and doorway access into the backyard are at the far end of the foyer. To the left of the Foyer is the vast Living Room with four sets of arched French doors that lead to the side and back porches and a hand carved wooden floor to ceiling wood burning fireplace mantel with a marble surround and Mercer tile hearth and the original silver chandelier hanging in the center of this beautiful room. Wander to the right of the foyer into the elegant Dining Room with a 2nd marble fireplace, hand painted wallpaper, 12 plaster crown molding, wainscoting and a 12 light glass pane floor to ceiling door leading into the glass enclosed sun porch drenched with the afternoon sun. Travel through the Foyer through the back hall which leads you to the basement staircase as well as the three story back staircase and the impressive professionally designed kitchen featuring custom wood cabinets, granite countertops, SS appliances, breakfast nook, pantry, Italian hand painted tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting and two tall pantry cabinets for extra storage. As you exit the kitchen towards the back door is a custom designed office space with solid cherry cabinetry. The grand staircase leads you upwards to the Primary bedroom suite offering, his and hers closets, a large walk-in closet, sitting area, fireplace, breakfast porch, bathroom with oversized glass and tumbled marble shower, vanity with granite top and arched window. Bedroom 2 has access to a sun porch with views of Morris Park and the most beautiful sunsets. Also on 2nd level is the Washer/Dryer as well as a large walk-in linen/storage closet.
