1979 Country Club Dr, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006

A Private Circular Drive Leads to this Magnificent Stone Grand Manor nestled in a lush 2 acre setting overlooking Huntingdon Valley Country Club. The moment you enter the elegant center hall you will immediately marvel at the beautiful architecture, keystone archways, detailed millwork and a sweeping staircase with palladium window leading to the 2nd floor. From the center hall you feel the warmth and elegance as you enter the library/study with original rich wood bookcases and entry to the covered terrace which overlooks a private serene setting. The graciousness and charm of the Living room is accented with deep window sills, wood floors, a beautiful wood mantel fireplace. This room opens to the cozy heated family / sunroom combination. On the other side of the center hall as you enter the formal banquet size Dining room, you can feel elegance of formal dinners held here for several of our American presidents. President Carter and his wife once slept here. There is a large 12x20 kitchen, laundry room and back staircase that leads to a 2nd floor maid~s quarters and the chauffeurs apartment which includes a separate entrance to the garage. The 3 bedrooms and two baths in this wing is a wonderful space for an au pair, teenagers or extended family, the square footage of this area is not believed to be included in the public records. The grand staircase leads to 4 spacious bedrooms, all with generous sized closet space. One of the 4 bedrooms was currently used as an office and leads to a private balcony that overlook the picturesque setting.
