The Hedges (c. 1901) A Historic Estate on Philadelphias Main Line.

From the moment you approach the brick-paved entrance beneath the graceful canopy of a magnificent weeping willow, The Hedges makes an unforgettable impression. Step inside the custom-tiled foyer, where an impressive extra-wide staircase introduces the scale and character found throughout the home. The grand living room is filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling doors overlooking both the front grounds and rear patio. Rich custom wood beams span the ceiling, while the brick-faced fireplace creates a dramatic focal point and showcases the craftsmanship of another era. The formal dining room, anchored by its own fireplace, provides an extraordinary setting for intimate dinners, holidays and large gatherings.
