Description

Set on approximately 12 acres, this exceptional stone home follows the tradition of the Main Line’s great country estates—designed for space, scale, and a lasting connection to the land. Built by highly regarded Ted Babiy of Diamond Construction, the residence reflects a level of craftsmanship and materials not typically found in newer construction, with architecture rooted in the proportions and detail of earlier homes.

A long, winding approach leads through stone entrance piers to a front courtyard, creating a gradual sense of arrival.

The entry opens to interiors marked by quality, warmth, and thoughtful design. The living room features a beamed ceiling, fireplace, and windows and glass doors on multiple exposures, filling the space with light and opening to the surrounding terraces. The dining room is grand in scale, with a coffered ceiling and two sets of French doors that open to a side courtyard with a fireplace, extending the dining space outdoors for entertaining.

At the center of the home, the kitchen, breakfast room, and family room connect seamlessly, designed for both everyday living and gathering. The kitchen is expansive, with a large marble-topped center island, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a fireplace that anchors the space. The family room includes a fireplace and beamed ceiling, along with a distinctive inglenook seating area, creating a sense of comfort within its volume while opening directly to the terrace.

A sunroom provides a bright, inviting space framed by arched windows and French doors that open to the terrace, creating a direct connection to the outdoors. The first-floor home office features a vaulted ceiling, custom millwork, and a fireplace, combining functionality with architectural presence.

Multiple staircases and an elevator connect the main level to both the second floor and the lower level, supporting the home’s scale and allowing for efficient movement throughout.

The second floor includes seven bedrooms, including the primary suite and additional bedroom suites, with one currently used as an exercise room. The primary suite functions as a private retreat, with a vaulted-ceiling bedroom and fireplace opening to a balcony overlooking the grounds. A separate sitting room is wrapped in windows on multiple exposures, capturing sweeping views and light throughout the day. Dual baths and generous dressing areas complete the suite.

The lower level is designed as a full extension of the home’s living space, featuring a large recreation room, wet bar, home theater with custom seating, wine cellar, and a bath.

The outdoor setting captures the property’s long views. A rear flagstone wrap-around terrace—partially covered to create true outdoor rooms—extends from multiple interior spaces, including a covered terrace off the sunroom with a fireplace. Additional terraces, including one accessed from the family room, are positioned to capture those views.

Natural features—including a stream, arched bridge, and restored mill structure—add character and depth rarely found in combination on the Main Line.

The landscape is defined by sweeping lawn, mature plantings, and carefully composed gardens. A pool and separate cabana with outdoor kitchen and fireplace create a complete setting for outdoor living, all integrated seamlessly into the property’s surroundings.

A portion of the property is subject to a conservation easement with the Willistown Conservation Trust, preserving open meadows, mature trees, and natural habitat while limiting future subdivision. Details available upon request.

Properties of this scale, setting, and level of construction are increasingly rare—offering a combination of land, design, and craftsmanship that is not easily replicated. Real Estate taxes are under appeal.
