Welcome to 221 South Aberdeen Avenue, a hidden gem quietly nestled on two breathtaking acres in the heart of South Wayne. This grand stone estate, constructed on all four sides, has remained one of Radnor Township’s best-kept secrets for nearly a century. Surrounded by lush, mature landscaping and offering unmatched privacy, it’s a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property within walking distance to downtown Wayne.

Flanked by a formal Living Room with a floor-to-ceiling bay window and spectacular fireplace, and a Dining Room with deep windowsills, the home is filled with natural light and timeless charm. A cozy Breakfast Room with its own fireplace connects seamlessly to the updated Kitchen featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops, maintaining an open feel ideal to create gourmet meals for entertaining and everyday living.

Designed for year-round enjoyment, this space is complete with a tranquil water feature, walls of windows, and an upper-tier stone viewing area with a cozy fireplace. French doors open directly to an expansive flagstone Patio that runs the length of the original home and is bordered by charming stone knee walls.
