About This Home

As of April 2022

The elegance of yesteryear has been coupled with today's amenities in this extraordinary 6 Bedroom Colonial home which has been carefully expanded and restored with integrity. 'Bryn Tyddyn,' a former Vassar Show House, is set on nearly 2 scenic acres amidst specimen plantings and towering trees. Augmenting the estate are a Spring House with powder room, a large heated swimming pool with wading pool & spa, and an enchanting stone pool house. The high ceilinged interior is enhanced by intricate millwork, deep-silled casement windows & eleven fireplaces. The splendidly detailed rooms are spacious & light-filled and are wonderfully suited for active family living as well as entertaining on a grand scale. Enjoying easy access to metropolitan Philadelphia, this pre-eminent estate is truly an exceptional offering. This home is as valuable for its natural setting and rich architectural details as it is for the peace and privacy it affords. 'Bryn Tyddyn' is truly unique and in a class by itself.
