Overview

Masterfully constructed all brick and stone Tudor style home in Bryn Mawr Knolls. This home boasts exceptional construction, slate roof, beautiful archways, and so much more! As you walk through the front door you immediately know you are someplace special. Original oak floors running through the home, original doors and mill work welcome you and let you know you are in a well-built, solid space. Large living room with fireplace and two doors out, one to the front covered porch and the other to the backyard, great for entertaining. Formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, laundry, half-bath and office complete this level. Primary suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet, two large additional bedrooms that overlook the property and share a full hall bathroom with tub/shower make up the second. Walk-up attic with tons of versatile alternatives. The lowest level provides a bonus room option with access to utilities and garage or simply to walk outdoors. The house was a private commission by Norman Dayton Richardson, one of the first Port Authority engineers. Richardson worked on the George Washington Bridge and there is a rumor that when the Depression hit and construction stopped on the bridge, Richardson brought several workers to the house build to give them work. The neighborhood itself was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who with Calvert Vaux designed Central Park. So much history within these beautiful walls. A truly special home and a must-see.
