Set on 1.23 landscaped acres in Villanova’s prestigious estate neighborhood, this exceptional stone manor—designed by Fred Bissinger—blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Hand-laid fieldstone, refined detailing, and a slate and copper roof create a striking first impression, while inside, thoughtfully designed spaces offer both grandeur and comfort. A dramatic foyer introduces high ceilings, intricate millwork, and gracious proportions. The cherry-paneled study with fireplace and oversized windows provides an ideal home office. The formal dining room, served by a butler’s pantry, is perfect for entertaining. The living room features another fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the grounds. The spacious family room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, opens seamlessly to the chef’s kitchen—appointed with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, large center island and built-in Miele coffee & cappuccino maker. The sunlit breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and wraparound windows captures views of the gardens beyond. Additional first-floor amenities include a mudroom, laundry room, and access to the 3-car garage. Upstairs, a wide hall separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms. The primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with radiant floors, steam shower, soaking tub, and a vaulted-ceiling sitting room—a stunning retreat that may serve as a second office. Four additional bedrooms each feature custom en-suite baths and walk-in closets. A rear staircase leads to the secondary bedroom wing, perfect for guests or live-in support. A walk-up attic offers extensive storage. The lower level, bathed in natural light through a wall of windows and glass door, feels like an extension of the main living space. It includes a 3,000-bottle wine cellar with tasting room, a recreation room with fireplace, media area, game space, and an exercise room that can double as a guest or au pair suite with a full bath and private entrance—ideal for multigenerational living. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive: two brick patios for dining and lounging, one with a built-in grill and sink; a stone fireplace with covered seating; mature plantings, lush gardens, and stonework that create a tranquil setting for year-round enjoyment. With five fireplaces, cherry hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and recent mechanical updates including HVAC and security systems, this home is both luxurious and functional. Located just over a mile from the Philadelphia Country Club and within easy reach of Center City, King of Prussia, and Main Line shopping and dining, this is a rare opportunity to own a true estate property in one of the region’s most sought-after communities.
