Nestled amongst a collection of impressive Gilded Age homes dotting Spring Mill Road and Mt. Pleasant Road on the prestigious Main Line outside of Philadelphia, the stately 1930s Georgian Manor was formerly the personal residence of the Luden Brothers of Luden’s cough drops and the Wreckle family. The craftsmanship of a bygone era defines the interior spaces, featuring an abundance of intricate wood and stonework. Flanking the formal interiors are walls of large windows and French doors that open to a collection of outdoor terraces, adding light and fresh air throughout. A gardener’s paradise, the estate has a greenhouse that is as functional as it is beautiful and a variety of gardens to enjoy. Other features include private, secured access and circle drive; a master retreat with sitting area, fireplace, and spa bath; seven additional bedroom suites with fireplaces; a billiards and game room; a media room and family recreation space; a gorgeous formal dining room with fireplace; an exercise room; and an executive office—located within the private Wrenfield gated community with 24-hour guard—just 16 miles northwest of Philadelphia and 25 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport.
“This estate has been meticulously maintained over the years, and has become a source of pride in our family,” stated Andrea Kantor, seller. “It is a home for today and for the ages; one that we hope can ultimately be enjoyed by another family for many more years. We’re thrilled at the prospect of selling our treasured legacy on our own timeline and moving toward the next phase of our lives.”
Lovingly restored to its former glory, the property offers everyday function and comfort for modern life, and with its location in affluent Villanova, one of the most prestigious cities on the Main Line, top private universities and schools are easily accessible. Serene Villanova offers large private lots, mature trees, winding streets, all within enviable proximity to the city. The estate is just minutes from the center of Villanova and its namesake university. The Philadelphia Country Club is less than two miles away, while maintaining an idyllic suburban setting that is ideal for commuting—proximity to several transit lines and Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor makes travel to New York City or Washington, D.C. a breeze.
