Wonderful opportunity to own a piece of history. "Endeavor," a stately residence is situated at the end of a private drive with 3.8 pastoral acres bordered on two sides by the Wissahickon. Three sided wrap around porch and flagstone terrace overlook the picturesque setting of specimen trees and expansive lawn. The rear acreage lends possibilities for horses or large organic gardens. It was built as a manor house for Benjamin Gorgas in 1776 in a setting more private than anything you could imagine in Philadelphia. The fully restored Georgian architecture is reflected in the entrance way, exquisite cornice work, fireplace mantels and 11-foot ceilings on the first floor. Four corner bedrooms with park views, each with its own fireplace. In-law suite, plus two additional bedrooms on the third floor. Lovely family pool. No subdivision possibilities.
