A stately 18,000-square-foot mansion in the heart of Gladwyne’s prestigious estate section has officially entered the market, listed at $7.875 million. This iconic residence combines historic craftsmanship with modern-day luxury — a rare find on the Main Line.
Nestled behind private gates on 1.5 acres along Waverly Road, the home spans four expansive levels and offers eight bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and exceptional amenities throughout. From a resort-style pool to a four-car garage, home theater, wine cellar, and private elevator, every detail was designed for refined living.
Originally built by legendary Main Line builder William Smith, the estate was acquired in 2006 by renowned Philadelphia developer Eric Blumenfeld, celebrated for revitalizing architectural landmarks like The Met and The Divine Lorraine Hotel. Now, he is parting with this masterpiece.
Listing agent Andrea Desy Edrei of Serhant Pennsylvania notes the estate's tremendous value, with replacement costs now likely exceeding $14 million. For discerning buyers, this home represents an unmatched opportunity in an area where current zoning laws would no longer permit a home of this scale and stature.
With 20-foot cathedral ceilings, six fireplaces, and multiple terraces offering peaceful outdoor living, this property exemplifies Main Line grandeur — a residence of legacy, privacy, and architectural permanence.
This is a once-in-a-generation offering that cannot be duplicated under today’s zoning codes. Whether you are buying or investing, this is your opportunity to own a legacy property in Gladwyne.
