Rockwell Development Group has secured a portion of the former estate of Dorrance “Dodo” Hill Hamilton in Radnor and is moving forward with an upscale residential community called Strafford Walk. The development will replace the existing residence and outbuildings with 29 custom homes designed to fit seamlessly within the community. With construction slated to begin this summer and the first homes expected to be complete by 2027, Main Line luxury real estate is poised for a notable new chapter.
Key Points:
-
Rockwell Development Group purchased 3.5 acres of the former estate for nearly $5 million and plans to buy the remaining 8‑acre property.
-
The existing 7,000‑square‑foot house and greenhouses will be cleared to make way for the new community.
-
Strafford Walk will include 29 neo‑traditional homes on 7,500‑square‑foot lots with prices starting around $2.8 million.
-
Proceeds from the land sale will support a Hamilton family trust that funds educational initiatives in the Philadelphia region.
As development begins on this storied Radnor property, the Main Line luxury housing market is set to welcome an elegant new community that blends classic design with modern living.
