408 Barbara Lane

Littlefield Farm, a warm, expansive Tudor revival estate nestled on almost 3 acres on the south side of Bryn Mawr, represents the epitome of family-oriented living for the discerning buyer. This grand residence was built in 1912 by the renowned firm of Duhring, Okie & Ziegler for Edwin L. Blabon. Lovingly stewarded for more than 20 years, its timeless elegance and historical charm are ready to envelop a new family. The house spans an impressive 12,000 square feet, featuring eight oversized bedrooms, nine elegant bathrooms and eight working fireplaces. A custom chefs eat-in kitchen, complete with an expansive pantry and distinguished butler's pantry, opens onto a flat patio replete with mature specimen trees and lush pool area. This home is especially oriented for grand entertaining, featuring a second kitchen on the first floor for catering and intimate family gatherings. The grand entry foyer, lined with hand-carved wood panels, blends seamlessly into the family room, library and formal dining room. Every space achieves a striking balance of warmth and scale. The basement boasts room for ample storage, a gym and a state-of-the-art 9,000 bottle wine cellar. All systems have been updated under current ownership. Beyond the main residence, the estate boasts two additional structures: a finished pool house with a welcoming living area, full bath, and gourmet kitchen, and a detached two-car garage with an open-floorplan apartment, full bath and kitchenette. Having been divided into two separate residences during the 1980s, Littlefield Farm is the product of the current owners passion and persistence in restoring the home to its original glory. Perched at the top of a cul-de-sac, it is a triumph of graceful yet informal living, while showcasing the hallmark architectural details of a traditional Tudor home. Littlefield Farm is a dream backdrop for family life and is strategically located in the Radnor School District and within proximity to Baldwin, Shipley, Haverford, Episcopal and Sacred Heart.
