Property Description
living as seamlessly as this extraordinary Villanova property. Originally built in 1880 and later
reimagined by renowned architect John Milner, “Willow Creek” is a character-filled residence that blends
historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern refinement. In recent years the home underwent a
comprehensive renovation, where every system, finish, and architectural detail was carefully restored or
rebuilt with exceptional attention to quality. Set on nearly four private, park-like acres with direct access
to the scenic Radnor Trail, the property offers a rare sense of serenity and space while remaining
moments from the heart of the Main Line. Craftsmanship takes center stage across 7,353 square feet of
finished living space with soaring 10-foot ceilings. Magnificent millwork, beautifully proportioned
rooms, and six original fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. A classic
slate roof further underscores the property's architectural integrity and the sense that this is a home built
to last for generations. The experience begins at the circular drive, leading to an elegant entrance where
intricate leaded-glass mahogany doors open into a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase and soaring
ceilings. Architectural details abound, from coffered ceilings and deep-set windows.The main floor offers
a refreshed color palette, using light, modern hues that make the home feel bright and inviting. Just
through the family room and butlers pantry/bar area, at the heart of the home is the chef's kitchen,
featuring custom cabinetry, a La Cornue range, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, supported by an impressive
Butler's Pantry. This space flows seamlessly into a vaulted Sunroom with dining space with a fabulous
view to the back yard, exposed beams and skylights opening to a back porch with incredible views.
Whether elegantly entertaining in the formal living and dining rooms, working in the incredible
wainscoted office or enjoying a quiet morning or evening in the sunroom, the home adapts
effortlessly. Front and back staircases lead to the upper levels where the home offers six bedrooms, five
full baths and two half-bathrooms. The primary level includes two spacious primary-quality bedroom
suites, each with its own fireplace and beautifully appointed marble bathrooms. One suite features a
soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities, while the second suite offers another elegant bath with
soaking tub and shower. A third full bedroom on this level provides additional flexibility for families. A
laundry room and powder room complete this floor.The third level offers two additional ensuite
bedrooms, one of which includes a connecting sitting room, along with another bedroom served by a hall
full bath. A large cedar closet provides excellent storage, ensuring the home remains as practical as it is
refined.Beyond the interiors lies an unexpected treasure: an enormous, private backyard with mature
landscaping and sweeping views—a rare feature in such a prime location. Various porches and patios are
perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation, while access to the Radnor Trail makes weekend walks
effortless. A detached three-car garage with a second level already plumbed for a bath offers exceptional
potential for a guest suite, studio, or additional living space. The location is truly exceptional, offering
unparalleled convenience alongside top-ranked Radnor schools. Just moments from the SEPTA Regional
Rail and with easy access to Amtrak, travel to Center City, New York City, or Washington, DC is
remarkably effortless. Residents will enjoy close proximity to Villanova and Wayne's vibrant shopping
and dining scenes, featuring boutique shops, cafés, and top-rated restaurants. This is Main Line living at
its finest-historic character, urban-inspired sophistication, luxury updates, and generous outdoor space.
