Interior pictures coming next week. Introducing 209 Tower Rd, Villanova, where classic Main Line architecture meets modern amenities. This historic Country Home Estate, nestled on 2.5 acres of meticulously manicured grounds with gardens, courtyards, fountains and a reflecting pond stocked with koi, invites you into a world of timeless elegance and sophistication. Originally built in 1928 on 100 acres, this solid stone, classic estate home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its rich heritage. This 8,920 sq ft home features 8 bedrooms, 7 full and 2 half bathrooms, including 5 en-suite bedrooms. Above the 4-car garage is a beautiful 1-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment with a kitchenette. The upgrades to this home are numerous, but took into account the magical history of the property. The majestic foyer sets the tone, leading you to a Great Room with 22 ft ceilings adorned with wood beams, and a mahogany entry with balcony and library above. A breathtaking 18 ft stone cathedral picture window offers panoramic views of the grounds. Centering the room is a 16th Century Scottish Limestone fireplace. Continue through original carved doors to the covered terrace created as an outdoor living room. Many of the features of the home include hand-carved entry doors, stained glass windows, imported fireplace surrounds, tunsian tiles, and statuaries were exported from castles in Europe by the original owner and assembled by renowned architects, Walker and Gillette. The primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings, a working fireplace, an ensuite bath, and two spacious dressing rooms with a sitting room and additional fireplace. Double doors lead to a private terrace overlooking the grounds and the pool. This 2nd story terrace also features gardens with seasonal flowers, a fountain, and the original pulley system for watering. Shade is created by century old specimen trees at each corner. Back inside, ascend the Tower, which was the genesis of the street name, to find a wood-paneled office with unparalleled views, complemented by a full bathroom. Entertainment awaits in the renovated Billiard and Media rooms, complete with coffered ceilings and a custom cabinet built to house 3 televisions for optimal game day viewing. The entire main floor, wine cellar in the lower level, and pool all include a 7 zone HEOS sound system. The stately and rare slate roof was recently upgraded as were the lead framed windows that adorn the home. Outside, a walk through the grounds, along the original stone walls, will take you through flowered gardens, past Japanese Maples, Azaleas and unique specimen trees providing a colorful and serene landscape. The property is lined with prodigious Pine Trees that are bedded with their own needles. Follow stone paths to the fountains within the reflecting pond, filled with colorful, swimming Koi fish. A waterfall will lead you to the fountains by the ample pool surrounded by flower gardens with a view of the beautiful Rose bush that covers the back wall of the home. A putting green with its own sand trap and 2 tees to work on your short game awaits. Additionally you will find a basketball/pickleball court complete with Sixers logos to honor our hometown team. All add to the outdoor allure. Located in the prestigious Radnor School District, just 1 mile from Villanova and the train station with service to Philadelphia and NYC, this estate offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. With its timeless charm and modern amenities, 209 Tower Rd is more than a home—it's a legacy.
