Welcome to 1221 Church Road, a masterfully preserved historic tudor that offers something virtually no other home in Wyncote can: the only unobstructed, protected view of the 45-acre Curtis Arboretum. For over 100 years, this architectural masterpiece has been cherished by just three owners—a testament to its enduring quality and the lifestyle it provides. Now, it stands ready for its next owner. This is not just a home; it is a private retreat where the grandeur of the past meets the effortless luxury of the present. Step through the distinctive artisan door into a home defined by exquisite millwork, custom wainscoting, and solid core doors. The main level is designed for both grand entertaining and quiet reflection. Host holidays in the dining room with its roaring fireplace and Arboretum views, or retire to the expansive living room, where built-in bookshelves and intricate crown molding frame a space of timeless elegance. While the style of the home is historic, the systems are decidedly modern. A redesigned chef’s kitchen features high-end appliances and a Butler’s pantry with a wet bar, while state-of-the-art mechanicals ensure year-round efficiency. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true sanctuary, boasting its own fireplace, a sitting room, and a private porch perfect for morning coffee overlooking the grounds. With 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a 3rd-floor suite ideal for home offices or guests, there is room for everyone.
