About this home

Welcome to The Glen Castle! This property was designed in the French country estate style by Howell Lewis Shay as his own personal residence in 1927. It is an amazingly in-tact example of Norman architecture with wrought iron balconies, a stone-arched loggia, a reflecting pool, leaded glass windows, 5 original fireplaces and the most amazing 3-story stair tower with a beamed ceiling & exceptional iron work by Samuel Yellin. Constructed during the height of the Philadelphia county house movement, Mr. Shay always stated that this house was his favorite. It offers nearly 8,000 SF of exceptional space with 6 bedrooms & 3.5 baths, a sunken living room, cozy family room, a large dining room with a bay window, a breakfast room and a 3rd floor "bunk" or game room (with a balcony into the stair tower!). All of this is on a wonderful 1.3 acre hillside lot. Located in the heart of the Rose Valley Historic District, this is one of the best examples of pre-depression construction & design.
