218 Pembroke Ave Wayne, PA 19087

This one of a kind house and carriage house, built in 1901, sit high on 1.75-acres near downtown Wayne. The attractive winding cobblestone driveway leads to a porte-cochere by the side entrance and continues to the 4-car carriage house which has an apartment above and former stables below. The house has an elevated front porch that spans the front and wraps around to a covered porch on the east side. The welcoming double front doors open to a grand entrance with a two-story living room featuring a fireplace with an intricately carved mantelpiece and surround. This spectacular living space is accented by a beautiful crystal chandelier that originated from the former Haverford Hotel which hangs from the second-floor ceiling. The main stairway has hand crafted wainscoting and leads to an upstairs hallway with a view to the living area below from four sides. The parlor and dining room each have custom built in cabinets. The kitchen and informal eating area are in the rear of the house with access to a rear stairway to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms on the second floor and 4 bedrooms and one full bath on the third floor. Both the house and carriage house need extensive renovations. Potential buyers have a rare opportunity to update this grand home into one of the most distinctive properties in Wayne.
