If there was ever a residence that appears to be plucked directly out of a Currier & Ives holiday painting, it's Bryn Mawr's historical "Westfield" estate at 21 Shannon Circle. Designed by Peabody and Stearns in 1919, the former Philadelphia Vassar Designer Show Home welcomes you with a circular drive, courtyard, and carriage house, ideal for arrival by car, buggy, or sleigh. Imagine snow drifting gently over ivy-covered walls and through the boughs of the mature trees that dot the pastoral 1.77-acre grounds.
Inside the 10,000-square-foot country estate, a majestic foyer topped by soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings and flanked by custom mahogany paneling makes a wonderfully dramatic first, and lasting, impression. Ahead, the expansive entry hall boasts breathtaking coffered ceilings and a row of arched French doors that open to the first of many terraces. With its curved balustrade, the elegant staircase simply begs to be adorned with ribbons and holly, creating the perfect backdrop for holiday photos alongside brightly wrapped presents.
Guests will warm rosy winter cheeks by the substantial stone fireplace as the grand piano draws them near for holiday tunes and eggnog. From this central location alongside the great room, family room, and dining room, the historic hall delivers enduring appeal and an impeccable flow for lavish entertaining any time of year.
As the dinner bell rings, find yourself in the handsome dining room finished with stone floors, textured walls and towering wood-trimmed ceilings. The regal scale of the room ensures a seat for every guest, while the warm finishes create a cozy, warm ambiance. Here, the pace slows and calms as friends and family reconnect over a wonderfully prepared meal. The home's signature arched windows wrap the space, and the snowy landscape unfolds in every direction, filling every heart with holiday cheer and memories to last a lifetime.
