Offered for the first time, we are thrilled to present the “Hothorpe Assemblage”—an exceptional estate situated on a stunning 3-acre property tucked down a private lane in the very popular Ardrossan neighborhood. The two separately deeded parcels were purchased in 1960. The owners engaged noted Main Line architect Walter Durham, who designed one of his finest classic center hall colonials. Over the past 30 years, the owners have created three separate additions. The front entry opens to a center hall, flowing beautifully to the living room, library, dining room, and study, all with wood-burning fireplaces. Cooking and entertaining is a delight in the spacious, gourmet, eat-in kitchen, equipped with Sub-Zero, Dacor, and Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry. Adjoining is a spectacular oversized Florida room with very high ceilings, a wet bar, and lots of space for large or small gatherings. Multiple sliding glass doors open to beautiful brick and flagstone terraces and a pool. On the second floor, a generous primary bedroom suite offers ample closets and a well-appointed bathroom. There are four additional bedrooms and three bathrooms. A large walk-up attic provides storage. The lower level is partially finished with a powder room and space for media, games, and a gym. Nothing was spared on the outstanding features throughout, including detailed millwork and moldings, custom lighting, hardwood flooring, four fireplaces, abundant closets, and thoughtfully designed built-in storage spaces. The home features a newer cedar shake roof and updated mechanical and electrical systems. The mudroom, drop zone, laundry, and powder room exit to a 2-car attached garage and additional carport. Mature, meticulously maintained landscaping with expansive woodland paths are a showstopper. All in all, this is an exciting opportunity to own a magnificent property in a premium country location, just minutes from the very best restaurants and shopping in Wayne, top-rated schools, and an easy commute to Center City and Manhattan. See agent notes regarding two additional parcels.
