Property Description
SummerHill is an extraordinary country estate set down a long lane in sought after Radnor Hunt. Elegant 1910 manor home with 1926 addition originally built as a summer home for prominent Philadelphians. It is believed to be designed by the venerable Frank Furness architure firm at the turn of the century. Gracious living and entertaining is afforded by the perfect setting atop a rolling hill that Willistown Township, Chester County is so well known for. 5+ bedrooms in the original section with 3.5 bathrooms. The third floor consists of a large bathroom, 4 bedrooms and a large living room with stunning long views on 3 sides and could be renovated for additional living space or as an in law suite. The two story front entry hall with elevator opens into the sunroom which runs the length of the building with southern exposure to secluded lawn and fabulous stone walled terraced gardens. On right is the living room with extraordinary western views, large mantel and covered porch. FMLY room, dining room each with fireplaces bring you to the butlers kitchen and 1926 addition with another kitchen, living room, den and 3 bedrooms above. Also attached is a separate 1 bedroom guest cottage. Outbuildings include a small cottage / doll's house with a lovely fieldstone working fireplace wall, a stone hexagonal potting shed / root cellar and two sets of garages with space for a total of 6 cars. Previous owners have donated much of the orignial lands to Natural Lands Trust, giving SummerHill a sense of un-matched tranquility and privacy. Within 45 Minutes of Philadelphia, 25 minutes to the PHL airport, close proximity to the R5 rail and Amtrak, the Great Valley school district, the many PVT schools and all the Main Line and Radnor Hunt has to offer.
