Property Description
A Westover Hills classic with timeless appeal at the corner of a tree-lined byway, one thousand one Westover Road stands as a rare convergence of architectural preservation and modern ease, as Old-World charm meets contemporary life. Designed in 1928 by Philadelphia architects Wallace and Warner, renowned for their European-inspired houses, the residence is a distinguished example of English Tudor Revival style built at the height of American craftsmanship. Its intricate stone-and-brick façade, crowned by a striking red tile roof, sets the tone before you reach the threshold, the first steps on an exceptional journey. A substantial paneled oak door opens beside the original copper-domed lantern, ushering guests into a foyer that is grand and rooted in artistry. The handcrafted Mercer tile floor was created at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, emblematic of the Arts and Crafts movement. Brass and wrought-iron balusters and a richly patinated oak handrail grace the staircase.Throughout the home, original character is celebrated. A carved mantel anchors the living room, while a library wrapped in lime-washed oak offers an intimate retreat. Sconces and chandeliers exude ambience. Vintage bathroom fixtures and tiles were preserved wherever possible. A south-facing sunroom—currently used as an artist’s studio—glows with natural light, offering an inspiring space for creativity, reading, or quiet retreat. Yet the home is far from a museum piece. Its spaces reflect how people live today. The kitchen is a study in beauty and utility designed for serious cooking and effortless gathering with professional-style appliances and generous cabinetry including an original floor-to-ceiling cupboard. The layout is thoughtfully organized with distinct prep and cooking zones surrounding a large central island. Recent additions have been executed by Dewson Construction. A family room with radiant heat flooring, an expansive mudroom with double closets, and an oversized three-car garage integrate seamlessly with the original structure. Above the garage unfinished space offers the opportunity for a guest suite studio or private office.Upstairs spacious six bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests. The primary suite is a serene haven with dual closets including a generous walk-in closet with a dressing area and under-eave storage. A large second-floor laundry room connects to an original cedar closet blending practicality with period detail. Modern comforts are woven throughout including abundant storage energy-efficient UV-resistant windows and zoned heating and cooling. The home’s flow speaks to contemporary living with formal and informal rooms connected in a circular layout that makes entertaining feel effortless.
