Do you still carry in your head visions of grandeur from that trip you took to Versailles? Do those images make you go all slackjawed every time you conjure them up?
Take a look at these images of Villanova’s expansive “Skyview” estate, then, and pick your jaw up off the floor.
Entrance hall
About the only thing this grand, expansive château lacks is a Hall of Mirrors. (If you wanted to add one of those, you could always call Saint-Gobain in Malvern to supply it — they did the original.) It has absolutely everything else you might want to live out your Louis XIV fantasies.
Great room
No matter what season, no matter the occasion, no matter what you need or want to do, there’s a room in this home that will accommodate it and then some.
Kitchen
Prepare a grand meal? Designer Joanne Hudson has created a kitchen where you can show off your skills to their fullest in a grand setting.
Bar
Relax for cocktails before or after? There’s a full bar.
Home theater
Take in a feature film? Have a seat in the home theater.
Wine room
Enjoy fine wine? You and your guests can head for the wine room.
Outdoor pool
Indoor pool
Go for a swim? You can do it outdoors on gorgeous sunny days or indoors at any other time.
Master bedroom
Master bathroom
This is one of the few homes we’ve run across where words truly fail us in describing it. Not only is it loaded with amenities, it abounds in decorative art. Check out the detailing in the entrance hall and dining room, the paintings on the ceilings of the master bedroom and indoor pool, and the décor in the home theater.
Aerial view
And all of this sits on 6.73 acres of gorgeous hilltop land, a gated estate at the end of a secluded lane. You get breathtaking views and enough buffer space that you will forget that the Blue Route is right behind you.
