About this home
A Landmark Estate Defined by Legacy and Lifestyle
1035 Wright Drive is far more than a residence—it is a private estate designed for both retreat and recreation.
Originally constructed for John Elkins and later owned by Harold Katz, the estate carries a meaningful history tied to Philadelphia’s business and civic life. Over time, it has hosted U.S. Presidents, notable public figures, and professional athletes. The home has been exceptionally maintained and thoughtfully updated, preserving its character while integrating the level of comfort and functionality expected today.
Set on nearly seven private acres in Huntingdon Valley, the property offers a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the city. The grounds create the feeling of a protected country estate, yet you remain just minutes from Philadelphia and major commuter routes.
The main residence spans approximately 8,750 square feet and is defined by its proportions, craftsmanship, and flow. A central foyer with a sweeping staircase introduces a series of well-scaled rooms designed for both formal entertaining and everyday living. There are eight fireplaces throughout the home, along with detailed millwork, high ceilings, and expansive windows that bring in consistent natural light.
Formal spaces include a living room with French doors and custom built-ins, and a dining room designed for larger gatherings. More relaxed areas include a lounge with a wet bar and a sunroom wrapped in arched doors that open directly to the grounds.
The kitchen is designed to support both daily use and large-scale entertaining, with custom cabinetry, a substantial center island, and high-end appliances including Wolf and Sub-Zero. A separate chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances provides additional capacity, while a breakfast solarium offers a more casual, light-filled setting.
Upstairs, the primary suite functions as a private retreat, with a sitting room, dual fireplaces, and two full baths. Four additional ensuite bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests, along with an office and media room. The upper level adds another bedroom, full bath, and a large open space suited for a game room or additional living area. An elevator connects all levels, enhancing both comfort and accessibility.
What sets the property apart is how the lifestyle extends beyond the main residence.
A nearly 20,000-square-foot sports and recreation pavilion sits separately on the grounds, creating a second, fully realized environment. It includes a full basketball court, indoor tennis and squash courts, a large indoor pool, gym, sauna, steam room, and multiple areas for gathering. It supports everything from daily routines to large-scale entertaining—without ever leaving the property.
Outdoor spaces complement that experience, with a resort-style pool, cabana, and multiple areas for entertaining or private retreat.
Located within the highly regarded Lower Moreland Township School District, the property combines privacy, accessibility, and long-term value.
Few estates combine this level of acreage, architectural heritage, elite recreation, and premier location. In a market where many luxury homes offer size but little soul, 1035 Wright Drive offers something far rarer: character, history, land, and lifestyle on a grand scale.
This is not simply a home—it is a landmark estate, ready for its next chapter....
