Property Description
This spacious and charming estate home is packed with historically significant events over the course of its 170+ years. Many of the features and details common to estate homes in the mid to late 19th century still exist, including the beautiful parlor room, which includes a wood burning stove, stone hearth, and pocket doors to the formal living room. Originally constructed in the mid 1800s by the powerful and influential Percival Boyer. It is evident Boyer spared no expense in constructing his 4/5 bedroom estate, where he would entertain, build upon his wealth and grow his successful enterprises. In 1874, this estate hosted the areas dignitaries and a celebration for the inaugural "horse pulled" trolley line that would connect Lafayette Hill to the Roxborough section of the City. Youll notice the home was built for entertaining with its well designed first floor layout which include 9' ceilings, a generously sized living room, spacious and bright dining room, and eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook. Other highlights of the home include the third floor area, which features a bedroom and home office area/suite complete with full bathroom and kitchenette area. Perfect for working from home or as an au pair suite. Other details include front and rear staircases, random width floors, fresh paint, updated 3 zone heating system, updated electric panel, and a root cellar (entrance from the gazebo)! Not to mention the attached garage with additional storage overhead and large back patio. All of this is situated on a .75 acre lot in beautiful Lafayette Hill, where you are just minutes to public transportation, major roadways, area parks/trails, and shopping! Own a part of local history and gain the opportunity to build upon the legacy of this neat property!
