Formerly the residence to two headmasters of the Haverford School for boys and 125 years after its initial construction, this stately 6+ bedroom Georgian colonial presents as beautifully now as it did in its debut in 1896.

This home is truly one of the ages and one for the ages. As current today in its design and appeal as when it was built, and possessing the desired elements of new construction while graced by the talents of the eras best masonry, mill-working and plaster craftsmen. A terrace faces a sprawling front lawn, ringed by evergreens and flowering gardens, leading to an entertaining sized Front Entrance Foyer. To the left, a Living Room, of equally grand scale, is balanced by a wood burning fireplace with arched french doors on either side. The Library, requisitely outfitted with custom shelving and warmed by a corner fireplace, is accessed through a wide cased opening from the living room, made private by concealed pocket doors but allowing that each space enjoy both northern and southern exposures from their opposite walls of windows. A three season enclosed Conservatory is set on the western side of the home encouraging gathering at sunset while listening to the trickle of water from the adjacent Koi pond and surrounding stone terraces. A formal Dining Room with fireplace and painted wood mantle was designed to seat 24 guests with ease. Just beyond, and very different from most homes of the period, find an extremely large kitchen also with high ceilings and connected family room space. An abundance of warm solid wood cherry cabinets for storage and a wide center island with cooktop connect to a large family room and bright breakfast area with original breakfront and built-in desk. A back or family entrance opens to a well equipped mudroom and laundry space, generous in size so as to accommodate Costco quantity storage or large sports equipment.
