Offering over 8,100 square feet of flexible living space on 2.3 beautifully landscaped acres in Wayne, Pennsylvania, this extraordinary property feels like a private country retreat yet is only minutes from the Main Line and Center City Philadelphia.

Brognard Okie thoughtfully expanded and refined the home, blending timeless craftsmanship with comfort and livability. Youll find random-width pegged floors, intricate millwork, and custom built-ins that bring warmth and authenticity to every room. The homes layout offers remarkable versatility for modern life, ideal for multi-generational living, work-from-home lifestyles, or hosting guests in style. Gracious living and dining rooms flow to a cozy library and inviting kitchen that connects easily to the upper levels via a back staircase. With 11 fireplaces, abundant natural light, and a seamless floor plan, the home feels both grand and welcoming. There are nine bedrooms and eight baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in dressing room and spa-like bath, plus a junior suite with easy access to the kitchen, perfect for guests, an au pair, or extended family. The third floor offers even more flexibility with additional bedrooms, baths, and laundry. Outside, lush lawns, mature trees, and stone pathways create a serene, private setting; a peaceful escape that still keeps you close to award-winning schools, shops, and restaurants. Historic touches like the original spring house and root cellar remain, preserving a tangible connection to the past. A rare opportunity to own one of Montgomery Countys most distinguished historic estates, 1266 Gulph Creek Drive combines timeless architecture, a rich story, and endless possibilities for todays lifestyle, all within minutes of everything the Main Line and Philadelphia have to offer.
