Built in 1832, this iconic estate property is ready for a transformative new chapter. The expansive grounds, once dedicated to equestrian pursuits, now boast mature trees, specimen plantings, and panoramic views, creating an ambiance rich in history and potential. The main residence, characterized by Federal style architecture, seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern possibilities. The inviting living room, complete with a fireplace and library nook, and French doors open onto a tranquil patio. The grand dining room flows into a butler's pantry and an eat-in kitchen overlooking a peaceful swimming pool. The residence has a recently updated 7/8 inch cedar shake roof. Upstairs, the second floor reveals three spacious bedrooms with fireplaces and two baths, while the third floor offers four additional bedrooms and two baths. These spaces can easily transform into study rooms or creative spaces for crafts and gift-wrapping. While "Kimberlea" has been lovingly maintained and doesn't require immediate restoration, it is indeed a BIG project ready to be shaped by ambitious visions. The sellers welcome offers from buyers eager to infuse their personality into this grand estate. Imagine transforming the historical stone bank barn into a lively Party Barn, complete with indoor pickle ball, half-court basketball, and a movie/play room. The vast property has ample space for a tennis court and putting green, promising five acres of fun and leisure. The kitchen, not part of the original structure, can be expanded towards the barn, creating an open-concept family room with an attached garage. The carriage house presents opportunities for a secluded home office, private gym, or an in-law cottage. The living room, traditionally formal, can be re-imagined to include a library and a pool table, creating a space for relaxation and entertainment. "Kimberlea" is a unique opportunity for those who are passionate about crafting a home tailored to their desires. Located close to award-winning schools and major transportation routes, and imbued with the esteemed ambiance of the Philadelphia Country Club, this estate is a canvas for dreams.
