About This Home

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in the heart of Villanova, this historic stone colonial sits on nearly two acres of private, beautifully landscaped greenspace. A sweeping circular driveway and stunning stone exterior set the stage for a home rich in character and charm. Inside, gracious, freshly painted living spaces unfold—complete with wide-plank hardwood floors, deep- sill windows, intricate moldings and abundant natural light. The expansive, window-lined living room with custom built-ins opens to the rear stone terrace, while the centrally located dining room is ideal for both intimate gatherings and formal entertaining. The stunning family room features vaulted ceilings, bespoke cabinetry and picturesque views of the bucolic grounds. At the front of the home, the updated eat-in kitchen boasts new appliances, Quartz countertops, peninsula seating, beautiful Bay windows and a convenient butler’s pantry for seamless hosting. Additional main floor highlights include a home office with custom window seat, powder room and two adjacent bonus rooms ideal for home exercise, play or studio space. Upstairs, the serene primary suite occupies its own wing and features a walk-in closet, dedicated dressing area and peaceful porch retreat. A jack-and-jill bath connects it to a sunny secondary bedroom, while three additional bedrooms—including two joined by another jack-and-jill bath—and a full hall bath provide ample accommodations for family and guests. The finished lower level offers even more flexible space for recreation, lounging and play. Outside, the impeccably maintained grounds transform the property into the ultimate open-air retreat. Enjoy your own private tennis court, chipping and putting green, expansive rolling lawns and lovely stone terrace made for entertaining and dining under the stars.
