Description
Immerse yourself in the storied grandeur of 1221 lafayette rd, an architectural jewel spanning 9,388 square feet, originally constructed in 1895. this remarkable residence exemplifies the pinnacle of historic craftsmanship, with every detail meticulously preserved to honor its legacy. rich woodwork, ornate plaster motifs, and opulent marble and wood fireplace surrounds are woven throughout, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance that echoes through the centuries.
set within a tranquil suburban enclave, the estate offers seamless access to center city, the philadelphia airport, and the vibrant main line corridor, home to charming boutiques, fine dining, and cultural attractions. french doors punctuate the home’s façade, gracefully leading to a sprawling stone terrace. from here, the vista unfolds—a glittering swimming pool framed by manicured gardens, with mature centennial and blossoming trees dotting the landscape, enhancing the estate’s secluded, park-like allure. privacy is paramount, with fencing that secures the grounds while blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
upon entry, the grand center hall makes a striking first impression, featuring limestone, oak, parquet, and marble floors that carry throughout the home. the architectural flow transitions effortlessly between formal entertaining spaces and intimate retreats, offering both grandeur and comfort.
the formal living room stands as a testament to the home’s historic pedigree, showcasing original paneling sourced from an 18th-century german castle, crowned with intricate moldings. a stately wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, surrounded by built-ins and flanked by twin sets of french doors opening to the terrace. adjacent is the sunlit game room, where arched windows on three sides bathe the space in natural light, making it an ideal setting for hosting poker nights or musical soirées.
the dining room exudes timeless sophistication, with wood floors underfoot, a handsome fireplace, and a ceiling adorned with delicate plaster flourishes. a richly paneled study offers a sanctuary for contemplation, with built-ins, a hidden passage to the kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace adding to its charm. just beyond, the family room beckons with its cozy ambiance, providing a restful space for relaxation.
at the heart of the home lies the kitchen, thoughtfully updated with modern amenities. a generous island with a prep sink anchors the space, accompanied by a six-burner viking gas cooktop, dual wall ovens, a double electrolux refrigerator, and a breakfast nook. french doors extend the kitchen into the outdoor living space, offering a harmonious blend of indoor-outdoor dining.
ascending to the second floor, the primary suite reveals a serene retreat with wood flooring, french doors leading to a private balcony, and a walk-in closet. a sitting area connects to the sleeping quarters via a jack-and-jill bathroom, while the ensuite bath boasts granite-topped double vanities, a soaking tub, and a stone-tiled shower with a built-in bench, all illuminated by abundant natural light. the remaining second-floor bedrooms are equally charming, complemented by an expanded laundry room equipped with a samsung washer and dryer, dual sinks, and balcony access.
on the third floor, a versatile landing area—spotlit and framed by warm wood floors—leads to bedroom 5, a former dance studio complete with mirrored walls and ballet bars, offering endless possibilities as a fitness studio or creative space.
outside, the estate continues to impress. the stone terrace, which stretches along the length of the house, serves as the perfect venue for grand outdoor gatherings. adjacent to the kitchen, a more intimate patio with fenced flooring provides a serene spot for morning coffee or al fresco dinners. the pool, complete with a spa, is accessed via a flight of elegant stone steps, creating a picturesque focal point within the meticulously landscaped grounds.
