Description

Welcome to 221 South Aberdeen Avenue, a hidden gem quietly nestled on two breathtaking acres in the heart of South Wayne. This grand stone estate, constructed on all four sides, has remained one of Radnor Township’s best-kept secrets for nearly a century. Surrounded by lush, mature landscaping and offering unmatched privacy, it’s a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property within walking distance to downtown Wayne. Step inside to an expansive front-to-back Foyer capturing views of the backyard oasis with stunning fountain setting the tone for this grand dame. Flanked by a formal Living Room with a floor-to-ceiling bay window and spectacular fireplace, and a Dining Room with deep windowsills, the home is filled with natural light and timeless charm. A cozy Breakfast Room with its own fireplace connects seamlessly to the updated Kitchen featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops, maintaining an open feel ideal to create gourmet meals for entertaining and everyday living. From the Kitchen, enter the glorious Sunroom with a hand-painted ceiling—an architectural jewel that connects the original home to the dramatic Great Room addition. With soaring ceilings, a custom hand-carved bar, and stained glass windows that fill the space with color and warmth, the Great Room is the ultimate entertainer’s dream. French doors open to a large deck that overlooks the expansive grounds, providing seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Off the Great Room is a private Office and Full Bathroom, making this area ideal for a guest suite, in-law accommodations, or a secluded work-from-home space. Just off the formal Living Room lies one of the home’s most magical surprises—an Indoor Pool that has been custom painted to transport you to the Caribbean. Designed for year-round enjoyment, this space is complete with a tranquil water feature, walls of windows, and an upper-tier stone viewing area with a cozy fireplace. French doors open directly to an expansive flagstone Patio that runs the length of the original home and is bordered by charming stone knee walls. Whether hosting a garden party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the outdoor spaces offer unparalleled peace and privacy. Upstairs, the gracious Second-Floor landing features a beautiful arched window and window seat that add charm and character. The luxurious Primary Suite is a true retreat, offering His and Her Bathrooms and an incredible walk-in closet with exposed stone walls. Three additional Bedrooms and Two Full Baths provide ample space for family and guests. A well-positioned Laundry Room sits just off the back staircase, which offers direct access to the kitchen, making daily living effortless. The Third Floor features Two more Ensuite Bedrooms, perfect for extended family, guests, an au pair, or older children seeking their own space. These Upper-Level Rooms continue the home’s tradition of gracious scale, classic details, and exceptional versatility. Completing the home is an oversized 5-car garage—a rare and highly sought-after feature on the Main Line—paired with a convenient Mudroom area that keeps daily comings and goings beautifully organized. Behind the scenes, all major systems have been updated and are state-of-the-art, ensuring maximum comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. The home has been meticulously maintained, a reflection of thoughtful ownership and timeless quality. The Lower Level offers yet another extraordinary feature: a custom walk-in, temperature-controlled Wine Cellar —perfect for collectors and entertainers alike.
