About this home
Step into a timeless treasure—a one-of-a-kind 1840 Victorian estate with an extraordinary historical pedigree. Built by Thomas Rowland, for whom the street is named, this architectural gem sits on land originally granted by William Penn himself, the very founder of Pennsylvania. Once part of a sprawling three-acre estate with two outbuildings, this remarkable home now rests on .82 acres of beautifully preserved grounds.
A true Victorian masterpiece, this residence showcases a traditional floor plan adorned with 12-foot ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and gracefully rounded corner walls—hallmarks of 19th-century craftsmanship. The grand foyer welcomes you with a mahogany staircase and original banister, leading to six spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including a convenient first-floor full bath.
The formal parlor, just off the main entrance, is a showstopper, featuring an elegant marble fireplace, perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire. Sunlight pours through high arch-type windows, illuminating the home’s original hardwood floors. The mansard roof, adorned with intricate Victorian woodwork, further enhances this home’s stately presence.
Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic charm, as the home is equipped with updated heater and central air via a high-velocity, energy-efficient system. The primary suite boasts a clawfoot tub, offering a luxurious retreat. Spacious room sizes, exquisite details, and an unmistakable grandeur define this historic residence.
With only five other families having been stewards of this architectural treasure in its 185-year history, this home stands as a true testament to desirability, craftsmanship, and legacy. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Pennsylvania history in the heart of Cheltenham.
