443 SAINT DAVIDS AVENUE

WAYNE, PA 19087

Welcome to 443 Saint David’s Avenue, one of Wayne’s most distinguished, historic residences. Built in 1901, the home has been owned by only THREE families! Set on 1.35 gracious acres within one of the Main Line's most coveted neighborhoods, this landmark brick Colonial offers 5,575 square feet of bright, airy living space where magnificent period details and extraordinary millwork tell the story of a home built to last generations. Will you be the fortunate new steward? As you approach the home down the long driveway, you immediately sense the grace and grandeur in the brick construction with curved walls, multi-level porches and an abundance of windows. Mature trees offer both shade and privacy. The large circular driveway provides ease of access, and the location where the current owner's children learned to ride their bikes many years ago. Once inside, a charming glass-top Dutch door opens from the vestibule to reveal the first of many delights: a cozy entry parlor bathed in natural light coming in from incredible curved, double-paned, Palladian windows. This room is warmed by its own fireplace-the first of six inside the home- setting an immediate tone of intimacy and craftsmanship. The formal living room is a refined space, with a fireplace at the center and a coffered ceiling that crowns the room with fine detail. French doors lead you into the living room from the parlor, and another set leads you outside to an airy patio, where you can enjoy views of the side and rear yard in all four seasons. Through yet another set of french doors, you will find the impressive dining room - with its curved wall of windows and another cozy fireplace creates the perfect setting for a memorable holiday meal. Travel through the charming butler's pantry on your way to the large eat-in kitchen and bright, vaulted great room, added in the 1990's. This addition includes a full bath and laundry room and is the heart of everyday living- marrying the home's historic character with the open, relaxed scale today's buyers seek. A large fireplace flanked by two sets of French doors lead to the rear patio. Sweeping views of the property and another fireplace invite year-round alfresco entertaining surrounded by the beauty of nature. An immense sycamore tree provides a lush, green canopy over the patio. The two upper floors include six bedrooms and three additional full baths - all sun-filled rooms graced with the artistry that defines the finest homes of the era. Ample closet space allows for plenty of storage, rarely found in homes of this vintage. A standing seam copper roof crowning the entire home offers the peace of mind of modern infrastructure wrapped in the enduring elegance this property deserves. The many porches and terraces of this magnificent home offer a multitude of vantage points over the park-like grounds that offer both privacy and tranquility. This home is located in the award-winning Radnor Township School District — rated among Pennsylvania's finest — and just moments from the St. Davids train station, the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Wayne, Chanticleer Garden, and the Radnor Trail. Center City Philadelphia is a relaxing 25-minute train ride away. This is Main Line living at its most authentic and enduring. Don’t miss the opportunity to customize this special home as you make it your own!
