38-acre ‘Brooklands’ offers array of possibilities

A rare opportunity has come on the market with the sale of “Brooklands”, an elegant private estate on 38 acres in East Goshen Township.

The original house dates back to 1769, with a large addition designed by Perves, Cope, and Stewart, completed in the late 1930’s. John Frederick Lewis, Jr., a prominent Philadelphian, hired Perves to create a country retreat for his family and to reflect the style of the times.

Currently owned by his grandchildren, the house is steeped in history and still lends itself to gracious entertaining.

The main house has 12 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and is approximately 12,000 square feet. The entrance hall with its stunning curved staircase flows into an enormous formal living room and sunroom, complete with wet bar and access to a stone veranda.

The original portion has its own charm with an antique woodstove in the kitchen and a spacious dining room with two fireplaces. Covered porches and stone patios offer picturesque views of truly unique property.

Outbuildings include a large converted barn with two apartments, and a rental cottage. A beautiful pool and gardens complete the resort-like settings just minutes from the main line.

This unique and exceptional estate offers an array of possibilities for the discriminating buyer.
