Perched atop a hill above the surrounding neighborhood, the mansion at 1245 S Creek Road overlooks the Brandywine River and the rolling hills and fields of Chester County. This highly stylized residence was designed as much for its artistic value as its functionality as a home.
Spanning nearly 24,000 square feet, the residence is dual-winged, with each side of the house exactly mirroring its counterpart down to the tiles on the floor. Thoughtfully designed in 2007, it’s equipped with smart home technology down to the blinds, lights and stereo system, the latter which can carry music throughout the property.
Upon entering the property, guests are greeted by the grand foyer accented by a dramatic curved stairway so large it had to be constructed inside the home. As you pass through the dual hallways toward the open floor plan living area, you’ll find a glass wine fridge on your right with space for hundreds of bottles on constant display.
The gourmet kitchen has appliances and space that would make an executive chef jealous, while the arched living room lets in a full spectrum of natural light. The living area has dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that reach all the way to the third floor. The centerpiece of the living room is a $35,000 couch that was purpose-built for the home and made to suit the design style.
Beyond the living room is an outdoor terrace with an additional 10,000 feet for entertaining. Encircled by small flowering gardens, the infinity pool offers sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape, which is especially colorful in the summertime. The pool house, meanwhile, is a great place to dry off or cook up food for guests on the infrared grill.
After an afternoon sunbathing at the pool, guests and/or family can clean up in one of four full second-floor suites. The two larger units each contain their own living area as well as a bedroom and full bathroom, while the two smaller suites have a full bathroom and bedroom. All four rooms offer beautiful views out onto the spacious 21-acre property, which gives homeowners plenty of privacy from neighbors.
Above the second-floor suites sits third-floor master bedroom. This spacious accommodation offers views out over the front of the property and terrace, with huge his-and-hers bathrooms on either wing of the main bedroom. Each wing of the third floor is also equipped with a full office space and a walk-in closet.
The commercial elevator connects all levels, from the third floor to the basement. Upon taking the stairs down from the living area or stepping out of the elevator, you’re greeted with a full bar area, perfect for parties and thirsty guests. The left wing of the basement is fully equipped with a six-person sauna and space for a small gym. The right wing, meanwhile, is currently in use as a billiards and game room. Behind the bar is a full movie theater with an 8k projector and comfy seats for plenty of guests.
Finally, the eight-car drive-through garage provides more than enough room to store everything from old-school reclamation projects to high-end sports cars.
A 15-minute drive south of downtown West Chester, this stunning glass, steel and concrete mansion is a gem in Chester County. Now, it’s just searching for its next owner.
