About this home

Set on one of Northside Haverford’s most prestigious lanes, this exceptional 1918 all-stone English Cotswold residence, designed by noted architect Walter Durham, blends timeless architecture with elegant living spaces and beautifully maintained grounds in a premier Main Line location. Approached from the street through an impressive Belgian block courtyard and driveway, the home immediately conveys classic sophistication and architectural presence. A gracious foyer welcomes you inside and opens to beautifully scaled formal spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday living. To the right, the elegant living room features a fireplace, beautiful bay windows overlooking the impressive grounds, and direct access to the rear flagstone patio. Adjacent is a distinguished wood-paneled library with its own fireplace, creating a warm and refined retreat. A conveniently located main-level powder room serves this wing of the home. The bright formal dining room is filled with natural light through expansive five-window arrangements overlooking both the front and rear grounds and flows seamlessly into the gourmet chef’s kitchen. Designed for serious cooking and gathering, the kitchen features a Vulcan commercial-grade oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and stunning honed Calacatta Gold marble countertops. A practical mudroom, abundant closet space, and a full bathroom conveniently positioned for outdoor entertaining and pool use complete the first floor. Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms and four full bathrooms provide exceptional accommodations. The luxurious primary suite offers peaceful views over the landscaped grounds, a separate alcove with custom built-in cabinetry, additional built-ins throughout the dressing and closet areas, and a private primary bath featuring double sinks and an oversized shower. A full room-sized upper-level laundry room and convenient rear staircase add functionality and ease to daily living. Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, multiple zoned HVAC systems, and a full-size basement offering abundant storage and flexibility. Outside, the property continues to impress with beautifully landscaped grounds featuring mature trees, garden beds, and exceptional privacy. Tucked away from view, the lovely pool and pool area create a serene retreat surrounded by lush landscaping—an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the beauty of the seasons. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to offer both elegance and seclusion. Two separate garages complete this remarkable offering. Ideally located just moments from Merion Cricket Club and offering exceptional convenience to the best of the Main Line, this home provides easy access to Bryn Mawr, Villanova, township parks, Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, and major commuter routes while maintaining the privacy and prestige of one of Haverford’s most sought-after neighborhoods. A rare opportunity to own a distinguished Walter Durham-designed estate where historic character, exceptional craftsmanship, and elegant living come together.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $29,700 — well below the ~$1,105,822 its asking price implies at Montgomery County's common level ratio (30.8%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $44,357/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($29,700, 1996 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Montgomery County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
