Property Description
In 1900 Baldwin Locomotive partner William P. Henszey commissioned the design and construction of this grand Tudor Revival mansion, designed by the renowned architect Frank Furness. The original estate encompassed 48 wooded acres and was chosen so that Henszey could live amongst nature, yet being a railway man, still be steps to Wynnewood Station. 119 years later, residents still enjoy the wooded grounds, and the short walk to the station, but now have the convenience of shopping at the new Whole Foods, or dining at Sabrina's, Anthony's, Mad Mex, Delancey Street Bagels, etc. This is a terrific opportunity to own in the iconic mainline mansion. The main mansion has been subdivided into 7 units, all unique reflecting their owners original style and aesthetics. This unit was the original master quarters and is located on the second floor. Enter through an elegant hallway and as you step into the great room the old world charm brings thoughts of being in a classic dwelling you would find overlooking Central Park or Champs Elys es Avenue. High ceilings throughout, the main room is anchored by a fireplace and hearth, accentuated by a row of stunning black metal framed windows and French Doors, that step out onto a private balcony which overlooks the grounds. Step into the master suite and your eyes are again drawn through the windows upon the back grounds. The master suite exterior French door that can be opened for flowing fresh air, a fireplace, and walk in dressing area and closet, and a massive master bath, featuring historic Moravian tile work. You can enter the large 2nd bedroom either through the formal hallway or through the bath that connects to the master bath. This quiet room has lovely light throughout the day and looks out through the trees onto the back grounds. Currently there is a breakfast nook with classic built-ins directly off of the efficient kitchen, which can be combined into one space or potentially opened to reveal views and access to the great room. The current owners have enjoyed this home for the last 46 years, entertaining inside and having quiet mornings, lunches, and dinners on the patio. Bring your personal design vision to the unique and stately historical home.
