One of the last great estates of the Main Line, Camp Woods is a distinguished Italianate-style Villanova home on 3.4 beautifully landscaped private acres, offering a rare combination of historic architectural integrity and private recreational amenities, including a regulation-size hardball squash court. The ¼-mile drive, which is next to the Ardrossan Estate, leads into a walled courtyard with a circular drive. One enters through a limestone porch with Doric columns into the transverse, covered, ceilinged hallway with French doors leading to the terrace, reflecting pool, and two loggias. Full of light, the main floor flows into the grand living room, the library, the morning room, and the dining room. All rooms have French doors and beamed or decoratively plastered ceilings. With fireplaces in each room and rich architectural detail, this is a house made for entertaining. The kitchen is functional yet true to the home’s character, featuring custom wood cabinetry, hand-painted tile, a central island, and a high-quality range. The wood-paneled large butler’s pantry supports both everyday living and entertaining. The bright studio/office offers a separate entrance and access to the terrace. Upstairs, the home is anchored by a dramatic gallery-style hallway with soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. At each end of the upper level, two expansive primary bedroom suites create private retreats, each with its own fireplace, sitting or lounge area, bathrooms, dressing areas, and views over the gardens. There are two other large bedrooms with interior bathrooms in the main hall. Two additional bedrooms have bathrooms across the hall. There is also a second-floor laundry. Additional features include nine fireplaces in total, one gas and eight woodburning, a wine cellar, regulation-size hardball squash court, playroom, workshop, and mushroom cellar. The property has stunning mature trees, raised garden beds, garden paths, and stone walls. The residence is in an excellent state of preservation. With the exception of certain service and utility areas, the home retains its original architectural integrity. Camp Woods is an exceptional home on a well-landscaped private property in the highly sought-after Radnor School District.
