First Bank House of the Week: Stunning Historic Manor in Wayne

A notable sale in Villanova included the $4.2 million trade of the 14-acre Ardrossan Estate.

A stunning historic Wayne manor located on the renowned Ardrossan Estate on 14.4 gorgeous acres with nine bedrooms and seven full and two half bathrooms is available for sale.

Known initially as Aeola, the estate was renamed Hopelands in 1929 under Colonel Robert Montgomerys’ stewardship. It was renovated the following year by famed architect Horace Trumbauer.

The gorgeous residence features many beautiful classic details, including intricate moldings, wide plank hardwood floors, original stonework, and period fireplaces.

Highlights include a grand foyer, large reception rooms with French doors opening to sweeping brick and stone terraces with scenic views, a library, and a spacious dining room.

The charming kitchen features abundant cabinet and counter space and a spacious butler’s pantry.

The primary suite on the second level includes a sitting room and cozy fireplace, along with a luxury bath. Three additional large bedrooms and three full baths round out this level.

The third floor offers a unique setup, with bedrooms and a bath originally designed for staff, as well as a music room and additional guest rooms.

Outside is just as impressive with its long, tree-lined drive, expansive green landscapes, horse stables, tennis court, detached garage with carriage house, and a dramatic stone gateway.
