Listed at $1,785,000, this stately residence at 1182 Wrack Road in Rydal offers a rare blend of historical character and modern sophistication. 

Built in 1928 and meticulously restored, the 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home spans over 7,000 square feet of refined living space. The elegant entryway sets the tone with antique hardwood floors and classic millwork. A sunlit library, fireside tavern room, and grand dining room offer warm, versatile spaces to entertain or relax. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a Wolf range, Calacatta marble countertops, radiant-heated floors, and a butler’s pantry.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a private balcony, sitting area, expansive dressing room, and spa-style bath with a steam shower. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized, some with fireplaces and Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, and are connected by wide hallways that echo the home’s vintage charm.

A spacious unfinished basement, laundry room, and third-floor bonus rooms provide ample flexibility. Outside, the property features a private stone courtyard, rear slate patio, and a detached three-car garage with HVAC and an upstairs guest suite—ideal for visitors or remote work.

Families will appreciate the proximity to top-rated public schools, including Rydal East School, Abington Junior High, and Abington Senior High, making this an ideal long-term investment in both comfort and community.
