Welcome to Holly Springs, a delightful and private 14-acre sanctuary in the heart of Willistown Township. A winding drive and Allee of holly trees leads to the beautifully restored and expanded 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath circa 1825 farm house, a detached two car garage with studio and 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor, and a 3-4 stall barn with work area, and hay loft. All the buildings, terraces and windows on the property overlook the spectacular grounds which are the result of a grand landscape master plan executed over the past 18 years creating and protecting a large meadow of native grasses and wildflowers, heritage hardwood trees, and the creation of gardens, bridges, woodland paths, and a small pond with gazebo. The majority of the property is enclosed with deer fencing and includes a gated entry with cattle guard. The current owners purchased the property in 2005 and embarked on an extensive and ambitious restoration project adding a new two story addition to the house including a large open kitchen with breakfast and family rooms, a mud room and half bath on the first floor and large primary suite with sitting room and deck overlooking the meadow and gardens on the second floor. They worked closely with Warren Claytor Architects and Mark Slouf (builder), to ensure that the new addition met today's lifestyle needs while maintaining the charming and historic character of the house and property. Many of the materials were reclaimed or made to look original to the house; antique reclaimed hardwood floors, exposed beams and country cabinetry. The original part of the first floor includes the entrance hall which opens to the living room and dining room on either side, each with a fireplace, original floors and millwork. The dining room opens to the newer kitchen, family room, breakfast room, mudroom and powder room. A solarium was added off the front hall and can also be accessed from the family room; it takes full advantage of the southern exposure and offers stunning views. The original staircase in the entrance hall leads to the second floor which includes 3 original bedrooms and a hall bath and, the large, newer primary suite including, a dressing room, bath with vanity, tub and shower, large bedroom and sitting room and French doors leading to a deck overlooking the property. The attic is walk up, floored and offers great storage. The basement is full, unfinished and includes ample storage, a hot tub, outside entrance and what was the original “summer kitchen”, with fireplace and bake oven, and a springhouse, which continues to provide water for the home. Holly Springs is named for the multiple springs flowing around the home and was initially part of the Brassey Tract that was purchased by Thomas Brassey from William Penn, and later divided into 3 tracts. The now 14 acre property is protected with a conservation easement through Willistown Conservation Trust and is surrounded by many other protected properties. There are equestrian opportunities on the property & easy access to trails. Holly Springs is the quintessential country property allowing for total privacy and ideally located in the coveted Radnor Hunt area; yet minutes from the Main Line, West Chester; connections to all major roadways, the Philadelphia International Airport, Brandywine airport, R5 Rail Service, Amtrak and highly rated educational Institutions.

Historic Frank Furness-Designed Estate in Harrison Estates | Renovated and Expanded for Modern Living. Originally designed in the late 1800s by renowned Philadelphia architect Frank Furness, this one-of-a-kind property is what remains of the original Harrison Estate—now located in a walkable neighborhood of 40+ homes. While surrounded by newer construction, this stone property stands apart with architectural pedigree, expansive grounds, and a retreat-like lifestyle on 2.48 acres. The estate includes a main residence, carriage house, and stables—together forming a private outdoor courtyard ideal for entertaining and relaxing. Extensive renovations between 2010 and 2025 blend the soul of the original architecture with updated systems, finishes, and amenities. The property offers remarkable versatility for gatherings, multigenerational living, and work-from-home flexibility. The newly installed front driveway and landscaping enhance its curb appeal. The main house has four bedrooms with five and a half baths. Inside original hardwood floors are preserved with Australian cypress added in the expansion. Oversized windows and tall ceilings throughout fill the home with natural light and garden views. The family room features a gas fireplace and connects to the eat-in gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances. The main floor also boasts an elegant dining room, living room, study, foyer, powder room, and mudroom. The 2-room primary suite contains vaulted ceilings and dual walk-in closets. Also on the second floor are 2 ample bedrooms, each with en suite bath and closets. The third floor includes a full suite with great room, kitchen hookups, and bath—ideal for children, guests, or an au pair. The finished basement contains a gym with full bath and a room ideal for wine storage. The separate carriage house, transformed between 2010–2013, includes a custom catering kitchen, full bath, three bedrooms, additional garage storage for many cars, and private entrances. A home theater with surround sound, Sonos system, wet bar, game areas, and stage with exceptional acoustics make it the ultimate series of spaces for hobbies, entertaining, and overnight guests. The L-shaped stables now house a primary four-car garage (EV setup expected June 2025), historically inspired stamped concrete floors in the undercrofts, potting shed, and stairs leading upstairs to an architectural masterpiece awaiting reimagining. Materials from the original structure have been carefully repurposed throughout. This estate is as livable as it is historic—a beautifully preserved Frank Furness home reimagined for contemporary life, offering space, comfort, and legacy in one of the Main Line’s most desirable settings.
