737 EAGLE FARM ROAD

VILLANOVA, PA 19085

At the end of a cul-de-sac in Villanova, on 1.26 level, manicured acres, this Pohlig-built stone manor home demonstrates the construction discipline and architectural consistency that define the builder’s work. A front-to-rear center hall organizes the first floor, with the staircase set centrally and light drawn from both ends of the house. The principal rooms open in sequence, front to back, in classical proportion. The kitchen anchors on a granite-topped center island and opens into a breakfast room set beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling, with two walls of windows and French doors to the flagstone terrace. The family room is generously scaled - coffered ceiling, fireplace, a full wall of custom cabinetry, and a run of windows along the rear elevation. The living room, with a classical mantel and its own fireplace, extends to the rear of the house and shares its light. The dining room is grandly proportioned, its tall windows reinforcing the room’s scale. A first-floor study, finished in wood with built-ins and windows on multiple exposures, sits apart from the main living rooms. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace, a sitting area, windows on multiple exposures, walk-in closets, and a private bath. The additional bedrooms are well-proportioned. A room with an arched window serves as a second study, library, or playroom. A second-floor laundry sits within the bedroom wing. The daylit lower level is finished for how a family lives - children and their friends, family evenings, exercise, retreat, and entertaining at scale. A dedicated home theater with tiered seating and projection. A wet bar with curved counter seating, served by a wine cellar. A pool table in the games area. Exercise room, full bath, and sauna. Open areas for play, games, and gathering. The rear grounds are private, finished for use as much as view. A flagstone terrace opens off the breakfast room onto perennial gardens, layered plantings, a swimming pool, and a hot tub set within the same plan. Through the warm months, the principal rooms extend outside — mornings on the terrace, afternoons at the pool, al fresco dining in the evening. Southern exposure and shelter from the wind keep the terrace useful except in the coldest months. Three-car garage. Public utilities. Lower Merion School District. A Pohlig-built stone manor home - proportioned, constructed, and detailed to the standard the name implies — set at the quiet end of a Villanova cul-de-sac that earns the architecture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
