Property Description
Nestled among 42 acres of dedicated, Natural Lands Trust, with views of centuries old trees, stands a French Country Manor house which remains a significant part of Gwynedd Valley history. Originally built for his bride in 1915, Alfred Smith of Smith Barney, assembled an amazing estate on what is now referred to as Meadow Farm. The next chapter in the home's history occurred when the home was conveyed to the Lippincott family, the founders of a well known Philadelphia publishing house. This family later hosted Maria Von Trapp while she wrote "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers", the inspiration for The Sound of Music. 1987 brought more change to the once sprawling 16,000 sq. ft. estate that included both a stable and gate house. Trueblood Builders split the estate and created a more manageable, European styled home. Since 1998, current owners have continued to improve and update every facet of this home which is now sited on 2.16 acres, while maintaining the integrity of its original finishes. Mercer tile flooring greets you upon entry through the expansive, arched front doorway into the impressive foyer with a curving, floating staircase. This nearly 8,000 sq. ft. stone manor home hosts 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 7 fireplaces, exquisite chef's kitchen, catering kitchen, formal living and dining rooms, each of which have separate egresses to the slate patios overlooking the well manicured grounds which include an inground pool, tennis court and pond. An incredibly unique home, opportunity and location await the next steward of this magnificent estate.
