Description
Welcome to braehead, named for the scottish phrase “top of the bank”—, a beautifully constructed and meticulously maintained property, rumored to have been modeled after george washington’s ancestral home, sulgrave manor. this incredible property was originally part of the schmidt brothers’ estate (of ‘schmidt’s brewing co.’) which was subdivided during prohibition. in c. 1929 mellor & meigs designed the home as a cottage in the cotswold style. in 1999, the current owners worked with daniella voith of voith & mactavish and builder mark hallowell to renovate the original structure and double its size, creating a cohesive english country home. as you look beyond its rich history you’ll find that braehead—or 458 huston road— is a beautiful family home, set on an exceptional street in an enviable main line location. with 6/7-bedrooms, 4-full and 2-partial bathrooms, and a 3-car attached garage all set on a nearly 2-acre lot, this home is as practical as it is gorgeous.
as you drive up through huston road, you begin to understand why this location is so sought-after: quiet, tree lined streets, manicured landscaping, and lovely, well-cared for homes throughout the neighborhood. enter into the circular driveway and admire the gorgeous stone exterior and intricate brick details. the front courtyard and brick lined path lead you to the ornate front door. as you enter, you’re greeted by the stunning two story foyer lined with wood paneling and framed by a one-of-a-kind fireplace with a copper hood. head into the spacious living room with plenty of room for guests, an eye-catching bay window, and double doors to a sunny private office. the kitchen is a home chef’s paradise: with endless counter and cabinet space, an oversized center island with a stovetop, and striking granite countertops. hosting family and friends is a breeze, as the kitchen and breakfast area flow easily into the light and airy family room, complete with cathedral ceilings and soaring windows. formal dinners can be held in the ornate dining room. the main level also includes a bedroom, home theatre, and a striking library.
upstairs, you’ll find 5/6 additional bedrooms including the spectacular primary suite, complete with cathedral vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, eye-catching fireplace, and an elegant en suite bathroom. two bedrooms are accessible by a private staircase with their own full bathroom— an ideal space for a live-in nanny or au pair. the large walk-in attic encourages creativity and customization by the home’s next owner, or keep the space as additional storage. the two laundry rooms– one on the second floor and one in the lower level– highlight the home’s liveability and function in addition to its style. the lower level has been expanded, making room for a work-shop, utility room, storage space, and an impressive recreation room.
outside, two impressively landscaped courtyards in the front and rear are framed by gorgeous shrubbery in addition to multiple lovely gardens, making the views from every room in the home breathtaking. the multi-level rear patio is lined by brick pavers which mirror the pathway to the front door and around the rear courtyard, as well as detailing on the home’s facade. every aspect of construction and design has been carefully thought through. in the process of renovation and expansion, the current owners have spared nothing: painstakingly updating their electric service, plumbing, sewage system, gas line, and stormwater management.
this home's st. davids location is walking distance to everything radnor township has to offer including downtown wayne and the radnor train station, connecting you to the rest of the main line as well as center city philadelphia and beyond. a perfect blend of accessibility, space, and privacy is very rare, but you’ll find it in braehead!
