Carriage House

"BonnieView" is a magnificent turn-of-the century Victorian Carriage House built circa 1890 with over 3,600 interior square feet. Crafted of stone and set back on 1.89 park-like acres, this truly one-of-a-kind property is located in Philadelphia's historic Main Line and maintains much of its original architecture. Mature landscaping and lovely FengShui gardens surround the home, along with a large Koi pond with arched bridge off the back patio, all creating the most idyllic environment. Enter the property via a long, private driveway and your greeted with an expansive front porch with two large pews. The home's first floor is quite expansive, with an open Living Room and Dining Room that pre-dates today's open concept floor plans. On one end of this large space is the Kitchen, Mud Room, Laundry and Powder Room; at the other is the Den and office with back stairs to the upper level. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two baths, one of which is the current Master Bedroom and is set off from the other bedrooms. The original and unfinished 36x16' hayloft with pitched, beamed ceiling would make the most spectacular Master Bedroom (see the renderings when you visit). This spectacular home is located near the Merion Tribute House, in the blue ribbon/nationally-ranked Lower Merion School District, and is just 15 minutes to Center City via the train - and the train is within walking distance. Many other features exist in this rare property, the potential of which is extraordinary. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the buyer who demands a very special location, a unique home and has the vision to create a masterpiece for their lifestyle.
