Homebuyers Interested in Villanova Homes for Sale

Perhaps no Philadelphia suburb boasts as much interesting and eclectic architectural fodder as Villanova. A search for Villanova homes for sale will reveal mansions going back to the 1800 s, such as this home, now Picotte Hall at Villanova University, but once a 35-room mansion built for industrialist Isreal Morris II. A mixture of Queen Anne, Country French and Pennsylvania Dutch styles, it is certainly unique.

Another old mansion, Appleford, has become an event location. This home was restored by Lewis H. Parsons, and his wife, the former Anabel Banks, with the renowned restoration architect Richardson Brognard Okie. The beautiful acreage surrounding Appleford was transformed under the direction of acclaimed Philadelphia landscape architect Thomas Sears. Today, it hosts weddings and other events.

Villanova homes for sale have traditionally been older, stone homes, since new construction was hampered by a lack of good building lots. Some builders have found land, however, and Cas Holloway built 5 new homes on Matlack in the Radnor section of Villanova (South of Rte 30) on land that was once a horse pasture near the Banjo houses once occupied by the help for the area s large estates. But the area along Spring Mill Road just east of the University (perhaps the most desirable location in Villanova) has few, if any, newer homes for sale in any given point in time.

For home buyers searching for Villanova homes for sale, the key is to have an agent who understands both the history and the architecture in order to guide them. It may be the perfect location for some but for those seeking low maintenance, new construction, the premium to be paid may be more than the value for the sought-after address.
