Looking for your own kingdom in Pennsylvania? This castlelike Gothic Revival residence<\/a> in Gladwyne, PA<\/a>, is worth a look.<\/p>\n

The 10,680-square-foot estate, which took a decade to build, sits on nearly 3 acres on the fabled Main Line just outside of Philadelphia<\/a>. It was completed in 1905 for a member of the Montgomery Scott<\/strong> family.<\/p>\n

With thick stone walls, wooden beams, and a majestic scale, the fairy-tale vibes are strong here. But the four-bedroom home has been upgraded with modern amenities that make it a contemporary dream come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis home is perfect for a family or couple that appreciates craftsmanship and quality,\u201d says listing agent Franz J. Rabauer<\/strong>, of Kurfiss Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.<\/p>\n

Space for gracious living and entertaining<\/p>\n

A captivating space<\/h2>\n

Large, leaded-glass doors lead to an interior of soaring ceilings, custom Indiana limestone floors and archways, reclaimed antique stone, leaded-glass windows, and rich millwork and cabinetry throughout.<\/p>\n

The main level offers a spacious library with picture-window sliders that give way to property\u2019s lush gardens. With a spa-inspired bathroom attached, the library could easily be transformed into an additional bedroom. There\u2019s also a fully-stocked home gym and yoga studio. And if a buyer is interested in keeping the exercise equipment, that can be arranged, Rabauer says.<\/p>\n

Impressive beams in the great hall appear to effortlessly support the 25-foot ceiling. Adjacent to this space is one of three terraces overlooking gardens and grounds that abound with specimen trees. Chanticleer pear, Schip laurels, Otto Luyken cherry laurels, Rose of Sharon espalier, Fosterii holly, American boxwoods, yews, Japanese maple, and Himalayan cedar adorn the property, Rabauer notes.<\/p>\n

The second floor was previously used as a vast ballroom and features hand-painted ceiling beams. Now, the space is occupied by four bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and full bathrooms occupy the space. Each bedroom has its own character with distinct lighting and millwork. The primary bedroom features an en suite bath with Italian marble. All of the bathrooms feature Sherle Wagner<\/strong> fixtures.<\/p>\n

An adorable guest cottage with a half-timbered exterior offers a sitting and dining area, kitchenette, and two bedrooms. There\u2019s also a two-car garage and a gardener\u2019s cottage, making the estate ideal for gracious living and entertaining.<\/p>\n
