$7.7 Million Villanova Estate Goes to Auction in April!


This 15,000-square-foot (!) property sits on more than 10 acres of the vaunted Ardrossan estate, where Hope Montgomery Scott–the inspiration for Katherine Hepburn’s character in The Philadelphia Story–charmingly gallivanted. Though its asking price was last listed as $7,695,000, it will now to go auction and sell the highest bidder.

The property’s perks include a media room, tennis courts, a pool, a 3-car garage and, as you can see from the photos, so much more. The auction is on April 22nd, and there’s no reserve. If all goes well, the property will sell just in time for the U.S. Golf Open at the nearby Merion Golf Club. Below, a list of open house showings prior to the auction:
