201 Cheswold Ln Haverford, PA 19041

The original gatehouse to AJ Cassat’s “Cheswold” estate, 201 Cheswold Lane presents a rare opportunity for today’s modern convenient living. Originally built circa 1872, with an 1880 addition by Frank Furness, it is now completely renovated, expanded and modernized, with attention given to conserving historic attributes, with renowned architect John Milner overseeing the 2012 home transformation. Additional outdoor living space was added in 2015 to include a pool, spa, patio and covered pavilion with seating and fireplace. Significant thought was put into the landscape architecture to ensure privacy, beauty and a tranquil oasis.

The property boasts exceptionally appointed minimalist materials on the first floor which include the front foyer and mud room, family room with stone surround gas fireplace, kitchen with center island, window bench seating and notably a wall of cabinetry in lieu of upper cabinets. The spacious, house wide, living room provides generous opportunity for family gatherings and entertainment, connected via the floor to ceiling bookshelves along the sunny front hall.

The first-floor primary suite encompasses a private large bedroom, walk-in wood paneled closet and large bath with shower. Two additional bedrooms on the second floor provide privacy and share an appointed hall bath. Not to be missed, an ensuite bedroom and bathroom at the end of the hall allow for additional privacy. Two bonus spaces on the second floor can be used as an office and seating area. There are multiple uses in this expansive upstairs space.

Sought after location on a private lane, next to an historic club. Pleasantly walkable to Haverford Square, the R5 Main Line train to center city Philadelphia and all the amenities, shopping, clubs, schools, hospitals, colleges and universities that speak to the convenience and allure of the Main Line.
