Property Description

This Horace Trumbauer gem has been lovingly maintained. The original details and true craftsmanship remain! The interior wood work, period light fixtures, original turned staircases with a variety of uniquely turned spindles on the staircases are in pristine condition. Original Pocket doors still open smoothly, intricately carved wainscoting, hand carved archways, unique spaces with hand-made cabinetry, gorgeous fireplaces with ornately carved mantles are a few of the features you will see in this fine home. These owners have even kept the fantastic deco style baths. The atrium room has a whole wall of beveled glass windows. The leaded glass windows are in beautiful condition and let in gorgeous light to fill the spacious rooms of this grand home. The flow of this home is wonderful. All of the rooms are delightfully spacious without the feeling of too much space. This 115 yr Georgian Colonial Style Home was a Staple of the Architect, Horace Trumbauer. Just a few of the characteristics of his style are the Single Story Portico with Columns & Pilasters, Linenfold Keystone Lintels, Rectangle Porches on either side of the Home, Brick Chimneys and the Trio of Dormers. This Home is an Impressive Example of the Residences Trumbauer designed in the area while building and designing the Estate Homes for the Elkins and Widener Families, just around the corner. The Basement has a Finished, Paneled room with Hardwood Floors along with utility area, powder room and stairs that bring you up to the Driveway in the rear of the house. There is a 2 car attached Garage with a large circular parking area. The slate roof is maintained yearly, the heater has been updated and two oil tanks have been replaced. Most of windows on the upper floors have been replaced. The faux finish on the walls is not wallpaper. Also for your peace of mind is a 1 yr HSA Home Warranty w/7 Star additional coverage for Buyer.
