Suburban Philadelphia homes that truly are castles
These suburban Philadelphia homes have curb appeal and design choices that will make their buyers feel like lords and ladies.
It is one thing to own a mansion or an estate. It is quite another to own a castle. These three homes have curb appeal and design choices that will make their buyers feel like lords and ladies (if they have a few million to spend).
1079 Baron Drive, Bryn Mawr
$2,395,000
Monthly taxes: $2,680
Tell me all about it: First of all, this five-bedroom home is actually named Castlebridge. The interior design includes exposed, carved timbers, leaded windows, grand wooden doors and iron chandeliers. We get it. The lower-level, temperature-controlled wine cellar is also fit for a queen.
103 Ironstone Lane, Kennett Square
$2,595,000
Monthly taxes: $3,933
Tell me all about it: Foxwynd is a six-bedroom estate inspired by the British Isles. The choices in light fixtures and the wood-paneled great room certainly evoke landed gentry. The grounds include a perfectly delightful English garden we can imagine strolling around idly with our court.
1726 River Rd., New Hope
$2,495,000
Monthly taxes: $2,682
Tell me all about it: This five-bedroom home is actually called The Castle (a little on the nose, we know). But it's easy to see why. There are Venetian plaster, a room for service, a formal courtyard with fountain and perfect slate roofs with copper gutters. Since it's situated along the water, you might even say it has a moat.
