Welcome to Braehead named for the Scottish phrase Top of the Bank , a beautifully constructed and meticulously maintained property, rumored to have been modeled after George Washington s ancestral home, Sulgrave Manor. This incredible property was originally part of the Schmidt brothers estate (of Schmidt s Brewing Co. ) which was subdivided during Prohibition. In c. 1929 Mellor & Meigs designed the home as a cottage in the Cotswold style. In 1999, the current owners worked with Daniella Voith of Voith & MacTavish and builder Mark Hallowell to renovate the original structure and double its size, creating a cohesive English Country home. As you look beyond its rich history you ll find that Braehead or 458 Huston Road is a beautiful family home, set on an exceptional street in an enviable Main Line location. With 6/7-bedrooms, 4-full and 2-partial bathrooms, and a 3-car attached garage all set on a nearly 2-acre lot, this home is as practical as it is gorgeous. As you drive up through Huston Road, you begin to understand why this location is so sought-after: quiet, tree lined streets, manicured landscaping, and lovely, well-cared for homes throughout the neighborhood.
