Breathtaking gated estate and restored Walter Durham masterpiece. "Braebank” is a historic and architectural treasure renovated completely to the highest luxury standards. Perched atop 6.67 sweeping acres of utter privacy and lush views, the home’s quintessential fieldstone exterior is finished with slate roof, copper gutters and wrap-around flagstone terraces that embrace the tranquil setting at every turn. The stunning grounds are punctuated by a trickling creek, gazebo and a glistening pool with spa and waterfall positioned to overlook the sun-filled views. Tucked on a quiet road, shared by some of the Main Line’s finest estates, pull up to the iron privacy gates completed with gas lanterns and down to a motor court lined with original stone walls and ending at a five car garage. The exquisite and timeless exterior echoes the breathtaking interior. No stone was left unturned in raising this timeless treasure to the finest modern day standards. Walk through the classic original door to a foyer that warms you with original wide-plank hardwood flooring. The elegance of the home is immediately showcased by a curved staircase framed by a striking and pristine Schoenbeck crystal chandelier. From the foyer, step down to a living room with soaring ceiling heights, original built-ins and molding, fireplace, glorious light with exposure on three sides and french doors to the grounds. A Mahogany office is completed with exquisite millwork, fireplace, wrap-around built in shelves and also steps out to the terrace. Both the Living Room and Study are quintessential Walter Durham features. A grand dining room is large enough to fit the extended family. It is finished with beautiful molding and overlooks the rolling hills with a large bay window. The family room could have been plucked from the pages of a design magazine with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, exposed trusses, floor to ceiling stone mantel and Palladian window overlooking the glimmering pool and grounds. A flowy, open layout that is ever sought after but hard to achieve in these elegant old stone houses connect this exquisite family room to a spectacular kitchen and breakfast room space. Also finished with a vaulted ceiling, the breakfast room is drenched with light from skylights and glass paneled double doors to the terrace. THe kitchen is fit for a gourmet with a large center island and high-end stainless-steel appliances. Custom white shaker cabinets and quartz countertops finish this kitchen with the utmost style and taste. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts another vaulted ceiling, an extremely rare feature for a home of this era. A large walk-in closet awaits the custom finishes of the Buyer and the primary bathroom has deep soaking tub, large tile shower with frameless glass door and double vanities. A private terrace completes this bespoke primary suite. Two additional bedrooms both with renovated ensuite bathrooms are in close proximity to the Primary. Further down the hallway, two additional bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom and a cozy homework space. Another standout feature, the second floor is finished with a warm and light filled bonus room, which has its own entrance to the outside. Perfect for an upstairs family room, au-pair space or fancy expanded office. Off the kitchen, a finished basement boasts a full bathroom and room enough for gym and a theater and additional hangout space. This grand project has been completed masterfully by a reputable Main Line builder who specializes in historic renovations. Utterly tranquil and yet centrally located with close access to major roadways, shops, train lines. Award winning Lower Merion School District. Includes partial house generator.

Real estate taxes are under appeal. Based on the County's current assessment, a substantial reduction may be possible.

Elegant Stone Manor in Villanova’s Estate Area. Set on 1.23 landscaped acres in Villanova’s prestigious estate neighborhood, this exceptional stone manor—designed by Fred Bissinger—blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Hand-laid fieldstone, refined detailing, and a slate and copper roof create a striking first impression, while inside, thoughtfully designed spaces offer both grandeur and comfort.

A dramatic foyer introduces high ceilings, intricate millwork, and gracious proportions. The cherry-paneled study with fireplace and oversized windows provides an ideal home office. The formal dining room, served by a butler’s pantry, is perfect for entertaining. The living room features another fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the grounds. The spacious family room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, opens seamlessly to the chef’s kitchen—appointed with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, large center island and built-in Miele coffee & cappuccino maker. The sunlit breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and wraparound windows captures views of the gardens beyond. Additional first-floor amenities include a mudroom, laundry room, and access to the 3-car garage.

Upstairs, a wide hall separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms. The primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with radiant floors, steam shower, soaking tub, and a vaulted-ceiling sitting room—a stunning retreat that may serve as a second office. Four additional bedrooms each feature custom en-suite baths and walk-in closets. A rear staircase leads to the secondary bedroom wing, perfect for guests or live-in support. A walk-up attic offers extensive storage.

The lower level, bathed in natural light through a wall of windows and glass door, feels like an extension of the main living space. It includes a 3,000-bottle wine cellar with tasting room, a recreation room with fireplace, media area, game space, and an exercise room that can double as a guest or au pair suite with a full bath and private entrance—ideal for multigenerational living.

Outdoor spaces are equally impressive: two brick patios for dining and lounging, one with a built-in grill and sink; a stone fireplace with covered seating; mature plantings, lush gardens, and stonework that create a tranquil setting for year-round enjoyment.

With five fireplaces, cherry hardwood floors, extensive millwork, and recent mechanical updates including HVAC and security systems, this home is both luxurious and functional. Located just over a mile from the Philadelphia Country Club and within easy reach of Center City, King of Prussia, and Main Line shopping and dining, this is a rare opportunity to own a true estate property in one of the region’s most sought-after communities.
