1224 Valley Road, Villanova
“Valley Hill”
 

Located on one of the Main Line’s most sought after lanes, “Valley Hill” is a 4.5 acre estate of formal grounds and picturesque woodlands. Though a mere 10 miles from Center City Philadelphia, this family compound offers an idyllic country setting with sweeping lawns, a “Palm Beach” swimming pool, tennis court, and guest house.

The vaulted and beamed living room features an antique fireplace, over-sized windows, and French doors opening to the patio. Adjacent is a “summer library” that connects to a private study and a two-bedroom guest cottage. A spacious family room paneled in mahogany has 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a marble fireplace, concealed entertainment center, and French doors to another patio. Connecting to the formal banquet-size dining room are a butler’s pantry and a new state-of-the-art designer kitchen with an octagon breakfast area. On the lower lever is a four-room entertainment area with a fireplace and theatre.

With over 14,000 square feet of living space, “Valley Hill” abounds in antique character and contemporary sophistication. The location is truly the best of town and country.
