This pristine carriage home has been newly restored to an exceptional level of historical and architectural detail, once housed horses and carriages on the original 20-acre estate that became the campus of Devon Preparatory School. Built in 1910 by successful Philadelphia publisher and art collector, Dr. Charles M. Lea, the original mansion remains a part of the esteemed school. Dr. Lea was the namesake of the oldest publishing house in Philadelphia, Lea & Febiger (1785-1990), and used his fortune to expand his estate, originally designed by Brockie & Hastings and described as a masterpiece. This 1.4-acre lot, originally built and purposed as the estate's barn and caretaker quarters, has been subdivided to create two wonderful carriage homes, now as much of a masterpiece as ever. The homes are Rene Hoffman designed to feel like single-family homes and share a cozy courtyard and ample parking. Restored and renovated by Coppock Properties, the carriage houses combine architectural and historical integrity and outstanding modern conveniences and updates. The restoration made use of most of the barn's original materials, and the exposed beams featuring original turnbuckles, original rough sawn cedar, and original working, sliding barn doors give the unique space a historical charm you won't find anywhere else! You now have the unique opportunity to own Unit 41, to the left, featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and approximately 4400 square feet of living space, in addition to an oversized 2.5 car garage with access to private stairs to the second floor. This inspiring property also boasts 13ft ceilings in the master suite and foyer, custom DeRita kitchen with thermadoor appliances, spacious grand floor plan, huge family room with fireplace and wide oak plank flooring, custom-built stairs, 2 new HVAC units, new wiring and 400 amp service, all new plumbing and fixtures, 50 year standing seam metal rood with 4 original cupolas, and so much more. This incredible property has been carved out of a living piece of history, with an astounding level of attention of detail and architectural integrity. Historical and reclaimed original pieces make the space as unique as it is breathtaking. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Main Line history!
