This modernized property is unlike any home, anywhere…
Seize this rare opportunity to reside in the iconic Manor House building in Historic Bryn Mawr!
Castle-like turrets atop each symmetrical wing of Manor House are the first sign that this home is a standout. Built in 1908 by John Edmund Oldaker Pridmore, the enchanting two-bed, two-bath multi-floor penthouse residence near the lake has been lovingly renovated, restored and modernized.
The unique scale and layout of the extraordinary 3000 sf+ home offers unsurpassed opportunity for creative living and entertaining spaces like none other. Rich, wood beams add depth and drama to high ceilings, while exposed brick walls add character and vintage appeal. Light streams in through large, all-new windows adding charm and beauty. Hardwood floors gleam throughout, and the fireplace brings warmth.
The master bedroom wing occupies its own floor and is a paradise of natural light that shines through an expansive bay window. Relax and unwind in the updated master bathroom with its modern and sophisticated claw-foot tub, the wide trough sink vanity and walk in shower. The spacious, walk-in closet simplifies organization with incredible built-in shelving and drawers. Laundry is a cinch with the in-unit washer and dryer and lengthy folding counter. The guest wing features a large bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the city and glimpses of the lake. The nearby full guest bathroom recalls Manor House’s historic heritage with its vintage wall tile and fabulous cast-iron tub.
A lovely, L-shaped banquette on the upper level welcomes breakfast conversations and overlooks the chefs kitchen, which boasts all new stainless steel appliances, long concrete counters and plenty of style. Take your morning coffee out onto one of three private deck spaces where the lake breeze whisks your cares away and guarantees sun at every exposure. A perfect opportunity to garden in the city and to entertain friends who are wowed by the views.
New electrical has brought modern living to vintage style, and heating and cooling is customized per floor, allowing you to adjust to your comfort level wherever you are in your home. Modern upgrades include 8 zone surround sound, dedicated media wiring, ethernet and server room, zoned hvac, new windows, warm fireplace, and in unit laundry. Storage is unmatched, with huge closets throughout, an extra large bonus space under the second bedroom and a private 304sf storage unit in the building’s common area. Deeded parking included seals the deal.
An impressive sight from the street, Manor House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also one of the most magnificent structures within the larger Bryn Mawr Historic District. As you step into the lush courtyard garden, you are transported to another world. Soaring stone columns flank the doorways, a Grecian statue stands ethereal in the center of a stone fountain, and terra-cotta accents complement original stained glass windows and red brick. Inside the entrance, artful tile flooring harks back to the exquisite craftsmanship of 20th century architecture. It’s said that the British consul general once lived here, and from the elegance and regal feel, it’s easy to imagine.
Situated amidst the authentic charm of the Bryn Mawr Historic District, Manor House is easily walkable to the popular Andersonville neighborhood and a diverse range of restaurants, shops and theaters. Also convenient to bus and train lines, the gorgeous Lakefront Path and beach.
