180 years old Wayne Manor

About the Space

Our house is over 180 years old and extremely well maintained - so it has updated charm! . Pull into the large Belgium block horseshoe driveway and you are immediately welcomed by the gracious stone front porch. As you enter the very chic foyer, you will immediately be amazed by the high ceilings and deep window sills, intricate millwork, handsome hardwood floors, and the very dramatic 3 story stairs. It is impossible not to notice that the entire main level was renovated in 2013. The whole floor plan was renovated to make this historic home open and modern - exactly what today's buyers are hoping to find. Upon entering, the open foyer is central to the comfy formal living room with fireplace, and dining room with large original leaded windows. Off of the entry is a powder room and the main stairs. Heading toward the back of the house there is a large, open-concept family room and newly remodeled island kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen has double thick Quartzite countertops, Thermador stainless steel 6 burner range with griddle, Bosch stainless dishwasher, Sub Zero paneled refrigerator, and built-in microwave, along with island seating for 4 or 5 people. The kitchen also has a breakfast room and an area for a wine bar. Tucked in immediately off of the kitchen is the most inviting outdoor space, which is protected by walls that offer the cozy feel of a special little private haven. Also off of the outdoor area is a back deck with a hot tub that leads you to the large flat lawn, with a custom built in gardners shed that provides lots of great storage. Upstairs on the 2nd level there are 4 bedrooms with a very large landing area/main hallway featuring very stylish wainscoting. The Main bedroom suite is enlarged and renovated with a bedroom, sitting room, dressing area, extra large walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with double sinks in the vanity, and a private screened in porch overlooking the side yard. Also on the 2nd floor are 3 additional bedrooms, a renovated hall bath and upstairs laundry. The main dramatic staircase continues to wind all the way up to the 3rd Floor: Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms and a gym/office space which could also be a bedroom if needed, as well as one renovated full bath. This home has a new roof, new windows, this seller did the driveway expansion, the fence, all decks and patios, new garden shed, whole house generator, new cement porch with wood ceiling, conversion from oil to natural gas, built in speakers, new high velocity air conditioning in 2013, acid washed and repointed all stone and exterior trim repainted in 2020. This neighborhood offers so much convenience, and also so much privacy. This is a true Main Line Dream House!
