Nestled behind stone walls & iron gates lies this Tudor Revival style 6 BD, 3.5 BA home in the village of Wayne. A rare opportunity for those who want a blend of old world charm combined with modern amenities, this historic Radnor Twp property has been carefully preserved & updated since it was built in 1925. A covered porch & thick front door guide you to the main entrance. After passing through an entry hall, guests enter the transverse front foyer, with paneled walls, diamond-pane windows, & one of three fireplaces. On the right is the Family Rm, which has a 2nd fireplace, built-ins, bookshelves, & a beamed ceiling. The Dining Rm, w/Tudor-style millwork, has thick pocket doors, allowing it to be closed off from the front Foyer & Great Rm/Living Rm. The stunning Great Rm is truly "GREAT," w/amazing stained & leaded glass windows, 25' ceilings, hand-carved millwork, huge stone fireplace, & a raised wooden platform which was used for performing Shakespeare. Several small rooms were combined during Kitchen renovations which added gleaming wood floors, new cabinets, marble counters, stainless appliances, & a mosaic tile wall accent inspired by features of the home. The Kitchen also features a peninsula w/barstool seating, large Breakfast Area, 2 sets of French doors to the yard, & original cabinetry in the Butler's Pantry. A large cloak room, pantry closet, & rear hall offer additional storage space. Front & rear staircases lead up to the 2nd fl.
