The historically significant mid-19th century John C. Mercer mansion, perched on the highest point in Whitpain Township, sits on over 6 magnificent acres adjacent to General Washington’s Camp Woods. From the moment you arrive in the circular driveway with center fountain, you are transported back to a gentler time. The beautiful stone exterior with massive wrap-around covered mahogany porch is representative of the architectural style and level of irreplaceable craftsmanship featured throughout this home. The grand marble entry foyer, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling arched windows, bespoke millwork, hardwood and stone flooring, elegant chandeliers and 9 exquisite marble fireplaces are reminiscent of days gone by.

Gracefully blending old world charm with modern amenities, the chef in the family will not be disappointed. The stunningly renovated kitchen features a large center island, marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, including a 48” Wolf range, beautiful marble gas fireplace and tons of natural light. The formal living room, formal dining room, family room and rear access to the wrap-around deck allow you to entertain in style with convenient access to the kitchen and exceptional flow.
