Property Description
The Main Line has a lot of great houses, but there are very few where the grounds measure up to the house or where the house measures up to the grounds. 262 Indian Creek Road is one of those; it is the unique and perfect blend of irreproducible and phenomenal outdoor and indoor living spaces. This elegant French Normandy country manor house was designed and built in 1927 by renown architect Paul Monaghan (the designer of the nearby St. Charles Seminary and Sacred Heart Convent) as his personal residence and has been restored, modernized and meticulously maintained by the current owners. Grand yet intimate, perfect for large-scale entertaining or for small gathering. The residence is built with 22" thick stonewalls enhanced by hand carved features and a slate roof. World famous ironwork artist Samuel Yellin created the exterior sconces, several interior fixtures, stairway bannisters and exterior railings. This charming 6 bedroom 6.5 bath French Country style manor home sits on 1.43 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with expansive stone walls and flagstone walkways which backs up to over 20 acres of deed-restricted woods. Signature features of the home are the turret housing a hand-carved limestone circular staircase, which spans all three floors and limestone trim featured in the front foyer and living room; the very large Living Room that offers a breathtaking hand-painted coffered ceiling with exposed wood beams and a bay window featuring stained glass panels which Monaghan brought back from Europe during his travels; many dating back to the 1500's; and the fabulous grounds that were re-landscaped similarly to what they were originally.
