Both historic treasure & modern beauty, this one-of-a-kind home offers the best of both worlds. Originally part of the Sharp Estate & built by one of Berwyn's founding families in the 1800s, this cherished home's current owners have been the stewards of major improvements to transform "Breeze Hill" into its current spectacular state.
