Description
Steeped in rich history and classic architecture, this authentic English Tudor style home (Circa 1926) was designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Charles Rabenold, and was named “The Wilmarjohn” in honor of the original owner’s three children. Later, it became known as the “House of a Thousand Lights” because of its stunning holiday light display. The striking exterior features grand stonework, half-timbering, a hipped slate roof with copper gutters and downspouts, embodying timeless craftsmanship and elegance. Originally on 17 acres, today the 6 Bedroom, 3.1 bath grand home is situated on1.23 acres along a quiet neighborhood street. A circular driveway, framed by mature shade trees, vibrant rhododendrons, and sweeping lawns, creates a picturesque approach. The grounds offer ample space for croquet, hide- and-seek, or quiet afternoons by the inground pool. Inside, the extraordinary home transports you to another era. Plaster over lathe walls, generous millwork, deep baseboards, wainscoting, tall ceiling height, and quarter sawn & hardwood floors grace the residence. Two staircases, two wood fireplaces, and grand scale add to its distinguished character. The expansive living room, featuring a brick fireplace, opens to the outdoors through French doors to a charming flagstone terrace. It is flanked by a banquet sized dining room with a china cupboard and bay alcove, and an inviting sunroom adorned with handmade “brick” tiles in a basketweave pattern and Mercer tile accents. The sunroom, with French door bays at either end, seamlessly connects with the outdoors. A cozy library/home office, with wood fireplace, offers a serene retreat. A beautifully updated cook’s kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage charm. Handsome wood cabinetry compliments original pantry cabinetry with glass uppers, pull-out cutting boards and vintage hardware. The kitchen boasts stainless appliances, including a 5-burner Thermador gas cooktop, travertine backsplash and charming “Love Bird” Mercer tile accent. Granite counters and a center island allow for a breakfast bar for casual dining, while a convenient Butler’s pantry/laundry are a segue to the sophisticated dining room. The 2nd floor includes all 6 bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring and ample closets. The en-suite primary bedroom offers expansion potential through a “false” wall, which could serve as a dressing room, new main bath, nursery, or home office. The additional bedrooms share two hallway baths. A spacious part- finished walk-in attic with pull-down stairs adds floored storage, while a bonus room with glass French doors opens to a balcony, overlooking the inviting front foyer. On the 3rd floor, a large finished room provides ideal space for a playroom, gym, or media room. This quality-built home has a foundation constructed of full thickness stone walls, and features a bulkhead and Bilco doors for egress, and plumbing if a bath is needed. Outdoor highlights include an oversized 2-car carriage garage, and updated concrete pool (10’ deep) with a safety gate and pool shed. Utilities are public sewer, water, natural gas, and steam radiator heat. Very well maintained, but ready for some updating, this remarkable home has offered decades of cherished memories for family and friends. Close to shopping, public and private schools, and major roads, this historic home blends timeless elegance with modern living -truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!Show Description
