Description
Following a successful tax appeal, the total annual taxes are $82,133 based on current millage rates. “Wooded Hill” is a significant Gladwyne estate privately set behind stone piers and entrance gates on nearly seven secluded acres of mature landscape and specimen plantings. A walled motor court, flagstone terraces, and formal garden areas introduce a 16,410 square foot main residence that has been carefully expanded and comprehensively renovated for modern living while preserving its original architectural character. The interior unfolds through a Mercer-tiled reception hall and central stair gallery, where arched passages and long sightlines connect the principal rooms. Detailed millwork, decorative ironwork, refined ceiling treatments, numerous French doors, and seven gas fireplaces are found throughout. Large windows on every elevation bring natural light into the home and frame views of the surrounding grounds. The main level is designed for both entertaining and daily use and includes formal living and dining rooms, a sunroom, billiards room, two family rooms, two private offices, and a gourmet kitchen with adjacent breakfast room at the center of the house. The primary suite occupies its own private wing and includes dual spa-style bathrooms, a sitting room, and a library balcony overlooking the two-story family room. Five additional bedroom suites each offer walk-in closets and private baths, and a second-floor library provides additional study or gathering space. In total, the residence offers eight bedrooms, including a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment suitable for extended family, guests, or live-in staff. The daylight walk-out lower level is arranged for recreation and entertaining and features a custom bar, fitness room, theater with tiered seating, full bath, and direct access to the pool terrace and gardens. A separate two-bedroom guest house, accessed through a stone courtyard, has been renovated with contemporary finishes and provides privacy for long-term visitors. The grounds function as both formal landscape and recreational setting, with expansive lawns, a swimming pool and pavilion, multiple terraces, winding crushed-stone paths, and a private golf green with three tee boxes. Additional features include a Cummins 100kW whole-house generator and a Control4 system managing lighting, audio, security, and pool operation. Located minutes from Gladwyne Village, King of Prussia, Center City Philadelphia, and major commuting routes, the property offers a private estate setting with close access to regional amenities.
