Description
Step into a world where history and modern luxury are gracefully blended. this stunning victorian-era home was designed by celebrated architect frank furness in 1878. lainshaw was the childhood home of robert l. montgomery, who co-founded the investment firm janney montgomery scott and built the villanova estate, ardrossan. lainshaw was originally built for robert’s father, william w. montgomery. the home was named "lainshaw" after montgomery's scottish roots.
architectural heritage: lainshaw showcases furness's signature craftsmanship with preserved features like intricate moldings, original stair railings, and exquisite fireplaces (five functional and three decorative). these historical elements are beautifully complemented by modern updates, including a gourmet kitchen with a spacious island, a redesigned office with custom cabinetry, and an open-concept family room that ensures seamless flow throughout the home.
other improvements include a new roof with copper gutters and downspouts, new insulation in the roof/ attic, repointed chimneys, low-maintenance hardi-plank siding, new pella windows throughout, a lutron lighting automation system, extensive professional landscaping and outdoor lighting enhancements, multi-zone heating and cooling, and radiant heat flooring in kitchen, family room and primary baths.
elegant design and exceptional features: nine and ten-foot ceilings throughout invite an unexpected and welcome abundance of natural light through large windows, enhancing the home's spacious living areas. this six-bedroom home features five full bathrooms and one powder room, plus a cozy sunroom, butlers pantry (with original cabinetry), a billiards/media room, an upper level laundry room, and a luxurious primary suite offering two primary baths, both with heated floors for a spa-like retreat.
indoor-outdoor living: celebrate the outdoors on the expansive stone patio complete with a wood-burning fireplace and hot tub, and surrounded by lush, established gardens.
enjoy gentle breezes from the side brick patio with both covered and uncovered seating areas. with access from the family room, dining room and living room, you’ll appreciate the easy indoor-outdoor flow for day-to-day living and when entertaining a crowd.
a storied legacy: frank furness, a luminary in architectural design, left his mark on philadelphia with iconic structures like the pennsylvania academy of the fine arts, merion cricket club and the university of pennsylvania library. lainshaw stands as a testament to his celebrated career.
located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in north-side st davids, within walking distance to the commuter train, and "best of the main line" town of wayne.
