706 CHURCH RD Wayne, PA 19087

Rarely does an opportunity come along to live in a home so steeped in Radnor history. Located on Radnor's "Gold Coast" across from the original Ardrossan Estate, the house comes into view through stone pillars as you proceed down a long drive graced by magnificent specimen trees. This seven fireplace home, known as "Kinterra," stands as a testament to 19th century architecture expertly brought into the 21st century. Originally built in 1806 as a working farmhouse, Kinterra was renovated in the 1920's by Brognard Okie, who added his distinctive architectural features, including extensive built-ins, beaded molding, beautiful iron hardware and dovetailed walls and floors. The 1994 renovation added a large family room with a fireplace opening on to a walled terrace, an elegant master bedroom suite above and a lower level exercise/playroom. This addition meshes perfectly with the rest of the house, resulting in a unique and seamless blend of old and new. Tread on beautiful wide plank heart pine floors while enjoying your up-to-date kitchen designed by Archer & Buchanan Architects featuring a beamed ceiling, hand wrought hardware and an original walk-in fireplace. The butler's pantry, with its handmade brick herringbone floor, second refrigerator and extensive cabinetry, provides additional charm and storage. A cozy study with two walls of built-in cabinetry overlooks a private fenced stone patio. The dining room and second study/gathering room each have a fireplace, making these rooms comfortable and great for entertaining. On the second floor of the original part of the home, there is an additional master suite with its own fireplace, bathroom and extensive closets. Another bathroom and three more rooms, one with a fireplace, complete the original second floor. The third floor with its two sunny bedrooms, bath, cedar closet and large storage area is truly a bonus. Outside, two patios and a spacious yard provide an easy life style for gracious living. The home is well located on a large lot tucked into an exclusive cul-de-sac community of newer luxury homes on Abrahams Lane, allowing its owners to enjoy a community feel while being just steps away from Chanticleer Garden and the Radnor Trail, minutes to Downtown Wayne and a short drive to I-476. This is a home that truly must be experienced to appreciate all of its charming historic qualities. Come experience it today!
