Set within the historic Toland Farm neighborhood of Wynnewood, this beautiful 1909 stone estate, designed by noted architect David Knickerbacker Boyd, blends timeless architectural character with a thoughtful renovation completed a decade ago that updated the home for modern living while preserving its historic charm. The first floor invites gathering. Unlike the closed off layouts typical of homes from this era, the renovation opened the kitchen, dining room, and living room into one connected space, so conversation and cooking and quiet moments by the fire all happen together rather than apart. The dining room flows into a gourmet kitchen with Thermador appliances, while the living room offers a gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and leads to an interior balcony, each space distinct but never separate. Upstairs, the second floor is a place to unwind. The primary suite offers a fireplace and his and hers closets, while the bathroom feels like a private retreat of its own, with two sinks, a standing shower, and a soaking tub overlooking the grounds, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and a conveniently located laundry room keeps daily life easy. Above, the third floor offers a quiet escape of its own, with three more bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests, a home office, or extra room to spread out. The grounds feel like their own private escape, spread across nearly an acre in a setting where a yard this size is hard to come by. A heated saltwater pool means more months to enjoy the water, from spring through fall, and a fire pit with a gas starter makes it easy to gather outside long after the sun goes down. Overlooking the pool, the entertainment room offers its own retreat, with custom built-ins, exposed beams, heated floors, a wine fridge, and mini fridge for effortless hosting. An attached, fully temperature controlled greenhouse brings the pleasure of gardening into every season, while the attached garage adds a level of everyday convenience not often found in a historic Wynnewood home. Located within the award winning Lower Merion School District, the property is conveniently close to Suburban Square, with its distinctive shops, restaurants, and Whole Foods, as well as the Wynnewood and Ardmore SEPTA stations for easy access to Center City. Major roadways are also readily accessible. A rare opportunity to own a distinguished David Knickerbacker Boyd designed estate where historic character, exceptional charm, and thoughtful modern updates come together.
