About this home

Welcome to 1380 Gilbert Road, an extraordinary Wayne Herkness Meadowbrook estate that seamlessly merges classic architecture with the luxuries of modern living. This distinguished property, poised on 1.29 acres of beautifully established grounds, reflects an unparalleled level of craftsmanship and individuality rarely found in today's homes. Built in 1927, this stately stone and shingle residence boasts an expansive interior of almost 5,000 square feet, thoughtfully arranged across three levels. The home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, offering ample space for both family and guests. From its commanding stone façade to its secluded gardens, the property exudes a timeless charm that cannot be duplicated. The impressive cut stone exterior sets the residence apart, its rich texture and architectural detail convey a sense of permanence and artistry that is nearly impossible to replicate. Inside, the home continues to captivate with graciously proportioned rooms featuring hardwood floors, intricate millwork, refined moldings, and multiple fireplaces. Arched windows and French doors create a seamless flow between formal and informal spaces, providing an elegant backdrop for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious formal living room is perfect for gatherings, while the adjoining solarium, with its dramatic arched windows, fills the space with natural light and offers views of the surrounding landscape. French doors open to the covered veranda, creating a seamless connection to the gardens. The sophisticated dining room, complete with a fireplace and bay window, offers an intimate setting for memorable occasions, while a wood-paneled study provides a quiet and handsome retreat. The Joanne Hudson kitchen elegantly combines timeless style with modern convenience, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, radiant-heated floors, a wine refrigerator, coffee station with dedicated second sink, and an expansive center island. The adjoining breakfast room is a delightful space for morning meals, offering tranquil views of the grounds, serene koi pond and one of the most beautiful stone fireplaces in the Philadelphia suburbs. All combine to form a peaceful space to meet the day. The outdoor setting is equally compelling, with brick and stone terraces leading into beautifully landscaped gardens. Mature trees, colorful plantings, tranquil koi ponds, and a picturesque garden bridge create a serene and enchanting environment. Extensive timed and zoned light-scaping extends the natural beauty from day to night. A stunning outdoor fireplace anchors the large sunken gathering area, providing a unique and inviting space for outdoor entertaining. Its size and grandeur make it a standout feature, admired by neighbors and guests alike. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and access to a secluded balcony overlooking the gardens. The en-suite bath, is tiled with exquisite onyx and features radiant heated floors, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, an oversized glass-enclosed shower, and elegant finishes, along with a generous custom-organized walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms and thoughtfully updated bathrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, offices, or other uses. Among these, the large third-floor bedroom is particularly notable, offering its own en suite for added convenience and privacy. The home’s multiple gathering spaces make it exceptionally well-suited for both intimate living and larger-scale entertaining. The architectural details, beautiful stonework, mature gardens, and inviting living spaces come together and provide a residence that is established, authentic, and entirely its own. 1380 Gilbert Road is a rare Meadowbrook offering, presenting an opportunity to experience the character of a distinguished earlier era with the comforts and conveniences of today.
