Property Description
In 1930 Durham & Irvine converted a circa 1900 carriage house on the Wheeler estate into a light-filled house in Bryn Mawr's Pembroke Estates - one of the Main Line's most prized neighborhoods. Hidden behind a long brick wall, the white painted stone and brick house is crowned by a double peaked, slate roof. The house is set at the end of the lot so the rooms have marvelous views of the lawn, mature trees & shrubs culminating with a magnificent fan-shaped Beech tree at the property's other end. Enjoy meals during the warm months on the awning covered terrace, relax or dance on the large octagon bluestone terrace or sit around the secluded black gunite swimming pool. From the Belgian block lined driveway follow a wide bluestone walkway to the front door and continue around to the octagon shaped terrace which has thick bluestone slabs supported by old-brick piers. Arched windows with deep sills found in the living room and library afford views of the lawn and terraces. First floor ceilings are 11 feet high. Two fireplaces have Colonial fireplace surrounds rescued by Walter Durham from Society Hill houses in the 20ies & 30ies. The large dining room can seat over 16 persons. The powder room sports a small arched window. Kitchen with bar and eating areas has a 6-burner Vulcan commercial gas stove -- a caterer's dream. Off the kitchen is a large laundry-work area and small office. Upstairs are 5 large bedrooms & 3 baths. The attic is finished with plaster walls and has plenty of room around the pool table for activities, a cedar closet and its own heat-pump for HVAC. A painted white brick 2-car garage with a slate roof was designed by architects KSK to complement the house. The 32' by 17' second floor over the garage includes a bathroom ? great space for an office or au pair. The emergency generator covers the whole house and garage. Store your gardening equipment in a small barn in a far corner of the property. The slate roofed tool shed is near the house. Owner is a licensed Pennsylvania Real Estate Agent.
