About This Home

As of December 2019

Nestled quietly at the edge of the Main Line you ll find an intimate oasis amidst the azaleas and rolling hills of this elegant and private Brooklands estate. The original home dates back to 1769 with a large addition (1938) designed by Perves, Cope & Stewart. When the home was completed by John Frederick Lewis, Jr., a prominent Philadelphian, he hired the architect to create a country retreat for his family that reflected the style of the times. This gracious home, surrounding gardens and inground pool are ready for entertaining. Enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding gardens, pond, spring house and hillside from the superb back porch and patio. The entrance hall with its stunning curved staircase flows into a spacious formal living room and sunroom, complete with wet bar and access to a stone veranda. The original portion features a spacious dining room with two fireplaces. The expansive barn with large stone fireplace is perfect for hosting wedding receptions and large gatherings of all kinds. The property also includes a charming two-story rental cottage. Offering picturesque views of meadows, mature woods and streams this idyllic retreat is in close proximity to Malvern and West Chester. -The property also includes a large converted barn with two attached apartments, each with separate entrances for easy rental opportunities.-
