Welcome to Braehead"”named for the Scottish phrase "Top of the Bank""”a stunning, historically envisioned home with timeless elegance and unmatched flexibility. Inspired by George Washington's ancestral home, Sulgrave Manor, this meticulously maintained English Country estate blends rich architectural heritage with modern-day livability. Originally part of the Schmidt brothers' estate (of Schmidt's Brewing Co.), the property was subdivided during Prohibition. In 1929, the renowned firm Mellor & Meigs designed the home in the Cotswold cottage style. In 1999, the current owners partnered with architect Daniella Voith of Voith & MacTavish and builder Mark Hallowell to thoughtfully expand and update the residence, maintaining its architectural integrity while enhancing functionality. Set on nearly two acres in a coveted Main Line location, 458 Huston Road offers 6 to 7 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 partial bathrooms, and a 3-car attached garage"”a rare combination of charm, size, and practicality. Except for the first-floor guest bedroom, all other bedrooms are on the 2 nd floor. As you ascend tranquil, tree-lined Huston Road, you're welcomed by a canopy of mature trees and stately homes. A circular driveway leads to Braehead's elegant stone façade, framed by intricate brickwork and lush landscaping. Step through the brick-lined courtyard and ornate front door into a grand two-story foyer paneled in warm wood"”a nod to the home's historic roots. The versatile floor plan accommodates both everyday living and entertaining with ease. The expansive living room opens to a sunlit private office, while the formal dining room and gourmet kitchen"”equipped with abundant cabinetry, a large center island, and granite countertops"”flow seamlessly into a vaulted family room bathed in natural light. An ideal layout for today's evolving lifestyles, the main level features a private suite with a separate entrance, perfect for multi-generational living, guests, a nanny/au pair, or even one or two work from home offices. This wing includes two upper-level bedrooms, each with access to a private bath, providing flexibility for changing household needs. Upstairs, discover 5 additional bedrooms, including the luxurious primary suite with cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, a room sized closet, 3 more closets, and spa-like en suite bath. A second- floor laundry room and large walk-in attic offer added convenience and storage. The partially finished lower level includes a recreation area, gym and abundant storage, adding even more functional living space. Outdoors, enjoy the formal courtyards and gardens, open lawn areas and small wooded paths. Every window offers views of this wonderful landscape. A multi-level brick patio echoes the home's historic detailing and provides space for al fresco dining, relaxing, or entertaining all while overlooking the large fountain and stone potting shed. Every detail"”from updated electric, plumbing, and gas lines to stormwater management"”has been thoughtfully upgraded for peace of mind and long-term value. Perfectly situated in walkable St. Davids, this property offers easy access to downtown Wayne, the Radnor Train Station, Radnor Elementary School, multiple fine and casual dining options and all that Radnor Township has to offer. Braehead is more than a home"”it's a legacy property that adapts to your life and grows with your family. Come experience its beauty, its history, and its flexibility"”because Braehead is truly one of a kind.
