Rapunzel Room in a "Castle" in Villanova

Beautiful and stately three-story, stone gate house designed by and built for renowned architect Theophilus Chandler's estate and completed in 1911. The main property is no longer standing. The gate house which the neighbors call "The Castle" is all that remains. Currently offering three rooms for guest rental with one on 3rd floor in this listing and two on the 2nd floor in a separate listing (see photos). Off street parking and a little over a mile to Villanova University. No cats. The 3rd floor bedroom is serene and tranquil. Guest can open up the two large windows to get a wonderful crossbreeze by day and close the blinds and lined curtains at night for deep dark sleep mode. The room is secluded from the rest of the so you don't get much interior noise finding its way up the steps either. The room itself has an antique double bed with matching vanity, bureau, and nightstand. There is a comfy elephant chair chair also. The room has a ceiling fan with light, sconces on the walls near the vanity and two deep closets. New carpet. New artwork. New comforter. New lamps. Guests have access to kitchen, living room, dining room, and back courtyard. I will be glad to leave you be and let you enjoy your space. I will also be glad to help with information about the area or to sit and talk in the evenings. Mainline Philadelphia location with no tunnels or tolls to Center City and near many corporate centers in the region but medieval miles away at the same time for a restful stay in a stately castle. Local schools include Villanova, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Cabrini, Eastern, Rosemont, Baldwin, Shipley, Harcum, Malvern Prep, Valley Forge, and Agnes Irwin. Both 476 and 76 are within minutes of the house. Regional train (SEPTA) is behind Villanova University with $1 daily parking.
