It’s time for a change. This gorgeous custom- build home, located on Monk Road in Gladwyne, has everything you need for a life of luxury.

Drive through the gates and down the long driveway, dotted with trees to shade your way, and up to the courtyard. Inside, estate becomes home.

.

.

Gladwyne’s Linden Hill main house and accompanying guest houses and grounds were designed around the late 1920s by Edmund B. Gilchrist for stockbroker Rodman Ellison Griscom.

.

.

The property was owned for more than 50 years by the Dorrance family of Campbell’s Soup Company. Linden Hill’s very secluded grounds on the Main Line and well-manicured grounds and stone outbuildings bring to mind secluded and quaint French villages.

.

.

Situated on 67 acres in one of the Philadelphia Main Line’s most exclusive areas, Linden Hill is a private property noted for its world-class architecture and its jewel, park-like setting.

.

.

Despite the grandeur of this estate, many rooms have a cozy, old-world charm with built-in bookcases, grand fireplaces, and wide-set windows.

The property includes 11 bedrooms as well as guests’ residences with private bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, offices, and more, all just waiting for you to infuse them with light.

.

.

The grand-scale formal rooms offer elegant and easy, expansive, or intimate entertaining spaces.

.

.

Beyond the main house, there are two gorgeous pools, a picturesque pool house, a tennis court, and a beautiful aviary, all set within amazing gardens and grounds.

An initial courtyard is formed by turreted caretaker’s quarters, with a 10-car garage, stately stables, and additional staff houses.
