Property Description

Own the Block - literally. Calling all East Coast colonial enthusiasts! This stunning executive estate home honors the architectural integrity of an earlier era home and comprises an entire coveted city block in premier N. Wilm. The first built in Brandywine Hills by architect Scott Lardson in 1930, the stately fieldstone 3-level, 5/6 BRs, 3.5 bath home is majestically perched on 1.39 lush acres bordering Milton, Whittier and Rockwood Roads and boasts professional landscaping and hardscaping and graceful front butterfly stone steps. Appreciate new windows, updated systems, original front door with frame and side lead glass windows, dramatic wainscoting, elegantly arched doorways, multi-piece/dentil crown moldings, exquisite window casings, tall baseboards and 5 types of solid hardwood floors. The foyer’s rich wood staircase is a true showpiece and possesses elements similar to the well-known Montmorenci staircase at Winterthur. It is thought that even some of moldings and millwork from the museum may have been incorporated into the home in earlier years. The home is designed for entertaining, and today's lifestyle needs. Featuring both sweeping LR and DRs with original silk draperies and wallpaper, chef’s kitchen of granite countertops, 6-burner/griddle Wolf range and hood, double oven, custom solid wood cabinets, and adjoining morning room and sitting room, high-end butler’s pantry, private 1st floor office/sunroom with original brass thermostat, and French doors adjoining expansive gardens and terraces. Renovated 3rd floor with original barn wood pine hardwood. Front brick terrace and back patios, along with sun-splashed outdoor nooks and niches. The home’s fluid circular floor plan effortlessly blends main spaces, while easily merging indoor rooms with outdoor area. The luxurious ensuite primary features secret passageway to a true treasure of rich wood-paneled retreat room or library with wall of built-ins and wood FP. Exceptional craftsmanship, fine appointments and intricate period-accurate details meld together to create this true architectural beauty. Cleverly positioned merely blocks away from cafe's and eateries, the Delaware Greenway/Rockwood Park, 10 mins. to downtown Wilm. with entre to restaurants/entertainment/Wilm. Amtrak train station and 25 mins. to Phil. Airport. Relish old world charm and modern must-haves with city conveniences. This is the one on Whittier Rd.!
