Ardrossan Farm New Home
Project Description
Nestled within the prestigious Ardrossan Estate in Villanova, this newly constructed home is a true testament to architectural excellence and timeless design. As part of the initial phase of the estate’s development, this residence seamlessly blends the grandeur of its surroundings with the comforts of modern living. Renowned architect Fred Bissinger meticulously crafted this home to marry vintage charm with the conveniences of contemporary lifestyle.
The commanding Avondale stone façade greets guests with a hallmark of classic craftsmanship. Cut limestone accents at the entrance and above the parapet enhance the stonework, offering a refined touch that beautifully ties together elegance and sophistication. From its vantage point on the street, the home strikes a perfect balance between striking and welcoming, reflecting the high standards of quality construction that define it.
The expansive great room is anchored by rich, warm-toned hardwood floors, which stretch throughout the main living areas. Soaring vaulted ceilings and generous windows flood the space with natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both formal and relaxed. A magnificent limestone fireplace serves as the room’s centerpiece, providing a focal point for gatherings or quiet evenings. Whether entertaining or unwinding, this room offers both grandeur and warmth.
The primary suite, a true retreat, draws upon the great room's design with its rich hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. Intricate trompe-l'oeil wall finishes elevate the space, creating a serene yet sophisticated ambiance. These artistic details enhance the suite's luxury while maintaining warmth and comfort, making it the perfect sanctuary.
Connected to the primary suite is a wood-paneled reading room, an intimate space designed for quiet reflection. A French limestone fireplace anchors the room, adding both tactile and visual richness to the peaceful atmosphere. This cozy retreat offers a tranquil escape to enjoy a good book, reflect on the day, or simply bask in the serenity of the surrounding estate.
This home at the Ardrossan Estate is the rare fusion of classic beauty and modern craftsmanship. With its timeless stone façade, spacious interiors, and carefully curated details, it offers an elevated living experience that seamlessly combines luxury and comfort. Whether relaxing in the great room, retreating to the serene primary suite, or unwinding in the peaceful reading room, every corner of this home reflects the finest in craftsmanship and design.
