728 Newtown Rd, Villanova, PA 19085

These charming older homes don't come on the market all that often and this home located in the "Banjo town" section of Villanova will not disappoint. The home was renovated to include all of today's amenities while preserving many of the original architectural details. This 2100+ square foot home gives you the quaint feel of the historic colonial home that transitions to open space and modern amenities. The first floor consists of the original Living Room, Home office, Powder Room, Dining Room that transitions into a large, updated Eat-in Kitchen, and a very nice Great Room in the rear. There are two sets of stairs in the home leading to the second floor where you will find three spacious bedrooms and a charming hall bath. The rear of the home is for the primary suite/owner's oasis (the fourth bedroom). Bright and airy with high ceilings, skylights, a balcony overlooking the rear yard, a fireplace, a large en suite bathroom with dual pedestal sinks, a walk-in closet, and a laundry room with a stacked full-size washer and dryer, this is a wonderful well thought out suite. Back on the main level and through the french doors in the kitchen you can access the covered stone patio, another extension of the living space, with lighting and ceiling fans and added drapery for subtle privacy while entertaining. Steps away from the covered porch in the rear of the home, and can be accessed through the great room is the fenced-in paver patio/garden area overlooking the yard. The patio has an arched gateway to the Driveway which runs from the street to the detached garage near the back of the property, which is being used as a storage building. This home, originally part of the Ardrossan Estate, is one of the oldest homes in "Banjo town" and is filled with history and many great tales of the area. To this day items are discovered on this property that adds to the allure of the home and the area.
