Property Description

Welcome home to "Idle Wilde" in North Wales borough. Do not miss your opportunity to live in and experience the history and grandeur of this c. 1852 home that was once a famous and lavish boarding house where many prominent Philadelphians from the city spent their summers. Fun fact: Don Pedro, the former Emperor of Brazil, was a guest at "Idle Wilde" in the summer of 1876 while opening and attending the U.S. Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia with Ulysses S. Grant. Sited on the 2nd largest lot in North Wales borough, this stately home will impress you from the moment you step foot onto the gorgeous wrap-around porch. Step inside the formal living room and adjacent dining room and you will immediately notice the 10' ceilings, brick fireplaces in both rooms, hardwood flooring, tall windows flooding light into the home, French doors, 12" deep window sills, a built-in corner China closet, transom windows, and so much more. The beautiful three-story open staircase with a gorgeous pendant light fixture leads you upstairs to four generously sized bedrooms on the second floor, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other three bedrooms sharing a hall bathroom. Both bathrooms are newly renovated complete with gorgeous marble-topped vanities and flooring. The hall bathroom features a dual vanity and a tub and shower combination, while the en-suite bathroom features a dual vanity with a handsome curved stall shower. The third floor of the home offers additional space that can be used as a home office, playroom, crafting area, meditation space, storage area, or a combination of any of these options. This floor is also home to a large cedar closet. The charming and spacious vintage kitchen on the main level of the home was once featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine and comes fully equipped with a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, a large sink with built-in drying racks, 25 feet of cabinets, an island with seating, nooks for cookbooks, and more. To one side of the kitchen is an informal dining space and another area with glass sliders leading to the covered porch and overlooking the professionally landscaped rear yard. This area also presents the opportunity for a homeschooling or a work-from-home space. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a large room that is currently being used as a main-level bedroom area with an adjacent closet and a gorgeous renovated full bathroom with a pedestal sink and a walk-in shower with marble basket-weave flooring. This space, featuring custom built-in cabinets/bookcases and a window seat area, can also be used as a fantastic family room. A private, outside entrance to this room provides an opportunity to also use this area as an in-home office. The wrap-around-porch offers lovely space for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing with a book and your favorite beverage. Speaking of entertaining, the beautifully landscaped outdoor areas of this home are second to none. The backyard features a lovely patio and outdoor fireplace, and the adjacent Weingartner park on the border of the property provides a tranquil view and setting. This magnificent home offers the added benefit of a large carriage house with space for 4 vehicles inside and an off-street parking area with room for several cars, perfect for when you entertain your family and friends. This structure also features a second floor for storage or future use as a home gym or office space. A full, spacious basement is home to a laundry area and the mechanicals, and provides space for more storage. The basement is accessed from the inside and also via Bilco doors on the outside of the home. The home is also equipped with a generator that provides comfort and security during power outages. As if all of this wasn't enough, "Idle Wilde" is a short 5-minute walk to the train providing easy access to the city, a block from North Wales Elementary, and only a few blocks walk to the local restaurants, bakery, gelato and coffee shops, and so much more!
