About this property

Rarely does a historic Main Line estate combine architectural pedigree, privacy, and refined modern living as seamlessly as this extraordinary Villanova property. Originally built in 1880 and later reimagined by renowned architect John Milner, “Willow Creek” is a character-filled residence that blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern refinement. In recent years the home underwent a comprehensive renovation, where every system, finish, and architectural detail was carefully restored or rebuilt with exceptional attention to quality. Set on nearly four private, park-like acres with direct access to the scenic Radnor Trail, the property offers a rare sense of serenity and space while remaining moments from the heart of the Main Line. Craftsmanship takes center stage across 7,353 square feet of finished living space with soaring 10-foot ceilings. Magnificent millwork, beautifully proportioned rooms, and six original fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. A classic slate roof further underscores the property’s architectural integrity and the sense that this is a home built to last for generations. The experience begins at the circular drive, leading to an elegant entrance where intricate leaded-glass mahogany doors open into a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase and soaring ceilings. Architectural details abound, from coffered ceilings and deep-set windows.The main floor offers a refreshed color palette, using light, modern hues that make the home feel bright and inviting. Just through the family room and butlers pantry/bar area, at the heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, a La Cornue range, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, supported by an impressive Butler’s Pantry. This space flows seamlessly into a vaulted Sunroom with dining space with a fabulous view to the back yard, exposed beams and skylights opening to a back porch with incredible views. Whether elegantly entertaining in the formal living and dining rooms, working in the incredible wainscoted office or enjoying a quiet morning or evening in the sunroom, the home adapts effortlessly. Front and back staircases lead to the upper levels where the home offers six bedrooms, five full baths and two half-bathrooms. The primary level includes two spacious primary-quality bedroom suites, each with its own fireplace and beautifully appointed marble bathrooms. One suite features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities, while the second suite offers another elegant bath with soaking tub and shower. A third full bedroom on this level provides additional flexibility for families. A laundry room and powder room complete this floor.The third level offers two additional ensuite bedrooms, one of which includes a connecting sitting room, along with another bedroom served by a hall full bath. A large cedar closet provides excellent storage, ensuring the home remains as practical as it is refined.Beyond the interiors lies an unexpected treasure: an enormous, private backyard with mature landscaping and sweeping views—a rare feature in such a prime location. Various porches and patios are perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation, while access to the Radnor Trail makes weekend walks effortless. A detached three-car garage with a second level already plumbed for a bath offers exceptional potential for a guest suite, studio, or additional living space. The location is truly exceptional, offering unparalleled convenience alongside top-ranked Radnor schools. Just moments from the SEPTA Regional Rail and with easy access to Amtrak, travel to Center City, New York City, or Washington, DC is remarkably effortless.
