Tucked away down quiet Berwick Rd is this special property that is filled with architectural treasures galore. Incredible details that remain intact including hand carved fireplace mantles, leaded glass windows, stone and plaster archways and unparalleled millwork including wainscoting, moulding, exposed beams, seating and staircases that all have stood the test of time. This is a historical and architectural delight both inside and out but also boasts extraordinary living space (over 8000 sq ft) and a flat, level lot that sits just under an acre of land in beautiful Merion Station. The top floor of this home is incredibly unique with soaring ceilings, a mighty stone fireplace and a long history of musical/play performances with a stage and seating design. This space could function as a magnificent primary suite with the gorgeous luxury bath attached, a full built-in bar and a charming walk out Juliet balcony. A detached carriage home sits outside at the end of the driveway with 2 stories of living space and storage/parking. This home has incredible detail inside and out and is ready for its next steward.

Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a true piece of history! This 1897 Tudor mansion was designed by William Lightfoot Price, and was his actual residence! A masterpiece in late 19th century design, this 8,000+ sq. ft. residence sits on a private lot of nearly 1 acre, on a dead-end street with only 3 other houses, yet is minutes from downtown Philadelphia & 30th Street Station. All of the original details remain intact and they are just glorious! Numerous stained glass windows (possibly by Nicola D'Ascenzo), beautiful hand-carved chestnut wainscoting & turned banisters, stone arches, a Juliet balcony & other delightful details. The crowning glory of this home is the massive 1,500 sq. ft Ballroom, Stage & Studio on the 3rd floor! A detached 3-car carriage house with a 2nd floor home office completes this estate. If you have been seeking an historic residence with exceptional provenance, then become the next Steward of this Grande Dame!
