Welcome to Braehead-named for the Scottish phrase â??Top of the Bankâ?-a stunning, historically envisioned home with timeless elegance and unmatched flexibility. Inspired by George Washingtons ancestral home, Sulgrave Manor, this meticulously maintained English Country estate blends rich architectural heritage with modern-day livability. Originally part of the Schmidt brothers estate (of Schmidts Brewing Co.), the property was subdivided during Prohibition. In 1929, the renowned firm Mellor & Meigs designed the home in the Cotswold cottage style. In 1999, the current owners partnered with architect Daniella Voith of Voith & MacTavish and builder Mark Hallowell to thoughtfully expand and update the residence, maintaining its architectural integrity while enhancing functionality. Set on nearly two acres in a coveted Main Line location, 458 Huston Road offers 6 to 7 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 partial bathrooms, and a 3-car attached garage-a rare combination of charm, size, and practicality. Except for the first-floor guest bedroom, all other bedrooms are on the 2 nd floor. As you ascend tranquil, tree-lined Huston Road, youre welcomed by a canopy of mature trees and stately homes. A circular driveway leads to Braeheads elegant stone façade, framed by intricate brickwork and lush landscaping. Step through the brick-lined courtyard and ornate front door into a grand two-story foyer paneled in warm wood-a nod to the homes historic roots. The versatile floor plan accommodates both everyday living and entertaining with ease. The expansive living room opens to a sunlit private office, while the formal dining room and gourmet kitchen-equipped with abundant cabinetry, a large center island, and granite countertops-flow seamlessly into a vaulted family room bathed in natural light. An ideal layout for todays evolving lifestyles, the main level features a private suite with a separate entrance, perfect for multi-generational living, guests, a nanny/au pair, or even one or two work from home offices.
