Property Description

“Penn-Laura”, famed Philadelphia architect Richardson Brognard Okie Jr.'s personal estate, is set on 2.5 fully fenced acres in Berwyn's coveted Main Line. This 3-bed, 3.5-bath, 2,680 sq ft architectural gem is move-in ready, blending Okie's signature stone/brick masonry, exposed timber beams, and 4 fireplaces into a comprehensive modern layout with the main en-suite bedroom on the first floor. The first-floor features waxed brick floors throughout with solid wood, barn beams and fireplaces in the main bedroom, living room (walk-in), lower-level family room (walk-in), and the sunroom. The kitchen features a new Bosch dishwasher, a 6-burner Viking range and updated granite in cooking/laundry area. A new Electrolux washer/dryer was recently installed in the laundry area. The entire interior, including mechanical rooms have been freshly painted. In addition, there is a large open and “airy” loft perfect for a home office, den and/or a fourth bedroom. Two bedrooms, a partially updated full bath and walk in closet, are on the second floor. The home, 2 outbuildings, and the detached two-car garage with loft storage area is topped off with a new asphalt roof and new gutters (2026). Its original character has been carefully preserved, offering the kind of craftsmanship and authenticity rarely found in modern homes. The 2.5-acre flat private grounds feature mature trees, revised grading, and a new fence along two sides of the property. There is a detached studio with a half bathroom, perfect for a home office, entertainment area, or guest suite. The property also has two additional outbuildings, one of which is suitable as a garage (3rd car). This open, level property is a rare find and offers a significant opportunity for subdivision, a family compound, equestrian use or a bank of income-producing garages. A grand circular driveway (replaced April 2026) provides an impressive approach, with exceptional commuter access to Philadelphia. This premier location is also served by the A+ rated Tredyffrin-Easttown School District and is minutes from several of the nation's top private schools.
