What's around 1120 Centre Avenue

About this property

Welcome to "Stirling" an extraordinary and welcoming, one of a kind estate with incredible architectural details and history to match. Originally built in 1892 and designed by Philadelphia architect Theophilus P. Chandler for industrialist James Hervey Sternbergh and his family. The property remained in the Sternbergh family for over 100 years eventually being sold and used as a Inn/Bed and Breakfast. The property has been updated with newer slate roof, upgraded electric, fire suppression system and central air, while still maintaining the original historic character and details as a grand residence. A list of the room sizes and description can be found in the attached addendum. The property also features a carriage house, now converted to six guest suites. The main house and carriage house both sit on a 1.62 acre landscaped parcel featuring mature specimen trees. The property also includes the adjacent lot (1130 Centre Ave) consisting of 2.48 acres and features inground pool, koi pond and pool cabana along with expansive lawn with wooded backdrop in a park like setting. The property is also in close proximity to Philadelphia and New York City by plane or car. Although the photos convey the quality to be found in the interior and grounds, this is definitely a "must experience in person" property.
