About 1266 Gulph Creek Dr

Steeped in history and rich in architectural detail, this extraordinary estate home offers over 8,100 square feet of elegant living space on 2.3 beautifully landscaped acres in Wayne. Located within the boundaries of William Penn’s original Manor of Mount Joy, the property traces its roots to the earliest chapters of Pennsylvania’s colonial history and later became part of the Van Pelt family estate known as "Woodstock." Thoughtfully expanded and renovated in 1927 by renowned architect R. Brognard Okie, the home showcases exquisite craftsmanship throughout - from random-width pegged floors and intricate millwork to custom built-ins that are both functional and full of character. The entrance opens to a dramatic view of the sweeping staircase spanning the second and third floors, setting the tone for the grand interiors that follow. The spacious living and dining rooms offer endless possibilities for entertaining, while a cozy library/den adds warmth and flexibility. The kitchen includes access to a back staircase, providing easy connection to the upper levels. With 11 fireplaces and a linear floorplan that allows natural light to fill every room, the home is both spacious and inviting. There are 9 bedrooms, all generously sized with ample closet space, 6 full baths and 2 half baths. The west wing of the home features a primary suite with a beautifully appointed bath and walk-in dressing room. The east wing offers a junior suite with 3 bedrooms and a shared bath, having easy access to the kitchen—ideal for guests, au pair, or multi-generational living. The third floor adds 5 more bedrooms, two full baths, and an additional laundry area, offering remarkable flexibility. Historic features such as a root cellar and spring house still stand on the property, offering a tangible connection to the past. A detached, oversized four-car garage provides additional storage or workshop space. All of this is just minutes from major highways, public transportation, award-winning schools, restaurants, and shopping. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Montgomery County’s most distinguished homes - where timeless elegance and architectural integrity meet a rich, storied past.
