林登山(Linden Hill)庄园坐落于Philadelphia Main Line的最高端区域之一,占地67英亩,不管作为住宅居住或进一步开发,均是一次绝佳良机。主住宅及附属建筑状况良好,由当前业主进行精心维护。该房产以其世界级建筑和极为私密的公园式环境而闻名于世。1928年至1931年间,该房产由埃德蒙·吉尔克里斯特(Edmund B. Gilchrist)专门为股票经纪人罗德曼·埃里森·格里斯康(Rodman Ellison Griscom)设计,之前由坎贝尔汤罐头公司(Campbell's Soup Company)的多兰斯(Dorrance)家族持有50多年。进入林登山(Linden Hill)庄园的僻静之地并穿过围栏牧场和石砌外屋,不禁让人想起法国村庄中那些最奇特的建筑。一座原始庭院由带角楼的管理员宿舍、一个10车位车库、多个马厩和额外员工宿舍组成,并通向山顶。行进到一条带围墙的狭窄小巷的尽头,这座宏伟的庄园及其中庭才终于展现其庐山真容:这是一座拥有法国诺曼底风格设计的宏伟住宅典范,拥有令人惊叹的规模和对称性。穿过庭院入口,便可看到堆砌于客房上方的砖砌烟囱巧妙构成了主屋的框架,展现出一座真正具有历史意义的宅邸:在完全尊重其原始风格的情况下进行了精心维护,同时还提供有各种现代设施。庄园内宏伟的正式客房极富优雅与便利,提供宽敞而私密的娱乐空间。私人区域和家庭起居区同样引人注目,可容纳短期或长期入住的客人。主屋之外设有两座游泳池、一间泳池房、网球场及一座华丽鸟舍,所有这些全部置于绝对迷人的花园和庭院中。林登山(Linden Hill)庄园作为一项风景如画的传奇房产,也可作为一处家庭静修胜地,其永恒性和壮观感无可匹敌。本房产建筑测量面积的仅适用于主住宅。
Situated on 67 acres in one of the Philadelphia Main Line~s most exclusive areas, Linden Hill is a singular opportunity for estate living or further development. The main residence and its dependencies are in excellent condition, having been magnificently maintained by the present owners. The property is notable for its world-class architecture and its very private, park-like setting. Designed between 1928 and 1931 by Edmund B. Gilchrist for stockbroker Rodman Ellison Griscom, the property was owned for more than 50 years by the Dorrance family of Campbell~s Soup Company. Enter Linden Hill~s very secluded grounds and travel past fenced pastures and stone outbuildings reminiscent of the quaintest of French villages. An initial courtyard formed by turreted caretaker~s quarters, a 10-car garage, stables and additional staff houses leads to the crest of a hill. Soon, at the end of a narrow walled lane, the magnificent manor house and cour d'honneur reveals itself, a majestic example of French Normandy-inspired design of breathtaking scale and symmetry. Pass through the courtyard entry where brick chimney stacks on guest houses cleverly frame the main house, and behold a truly historic mansion, beautifully maintained with complete respect for its origins, yet offering every modern amenity. Its grand-scale formal rooms offer elegant and easy, expansive or intimate entertaining spaces. Private quarters are equally inviting with family living quarters that accommodate guests for short-term or extended stays. Beyond the main house are two pools, a pool house, tennis court and a beautiful aviary, all set within absolutely stunning gardens and grounds. As a picturesque legacy property that can also serve as a family retreat, look no farther than the timeless and spectacular Linden Hill.
