Across from Penn State Abington campus, sits a 120-year-old estate originally owned by inventor Walter Herring and built in 1903, writes Ryan Mulligan for Philadelphia Business Journal.

The 500-acre Abington property has had some illustrious visitors over the years including aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart while she was a student at the Ogontz School for Young Ladies and composer John Philip Sousa.

Now on the market for $4.5 million, the nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom home is an eclectic mix of old-world charm and modern luxury.

It features a grand oak staircase, dark wood, and stained-glass windows, but also has a fully modern kitchen.

The living room is lined with not just one, but six fireplaces and the billiard room is adorned with a mural of medieval times that dates back to the late 19^th or early 20^th century and four stained glass windows depicting “The Canterbury Tales.”

The property also boasts a music room and a pool house designed by the renowned architect Horace Trumbauer.

The current owners Ginger and Michael Ott say that what also makes the property extra special is that it is home to at least 40 species of birds and unique vegetation, including the largest Blue Atlas Cedar in Pennsylvania.
