While it was built in 2004, this colonial mansion in Berwyn for sale offers an old-school style reminiscent of the late 1700s and early 1800s farmhouses combined with a modern layout and amenities, writes Sandy Smith for Philadelphia Magazine. 

The spacious six-bedroom, four-full, four-half-bathroom home sits on a 17-acre-plus lot. It opens to a two-story traditional center-hall colonial foyer that leads to a large traditional living room with a fireplace and a bay window and views of the home’s huge backyard. 

Other highlights include an elegant study, formal dining room, and a gorgeous kitchen equipped with everything a demanding home chef might require. Meanwhile, the two-story great room boasts a fireplace, huge upper window, and access to the rear terrace. 

The primary bedroom suite on the second floor has its own fireplace and a huge, spa-like bath. There is another en-suite bedroom on this level along with two more bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath. 

The finished third floor contains a large second bonus room, while the basement offers numerous spaces for entertaining on a grand scale, including a wine cellar and game room. 

The home is listed for $2,895,000.
