Property Description

Welcome to Fox Muir! This exquisite example of Georgian architecture was designed by the prominent Architect, Robert McGoodwin in 1925 for a local Philadelphia Attorney, Robert E. Kelley. What stands today at 8212 Cedar Road is a thoroughly updated estate property with some of the most beautiful details to be found anywhere around Philadelphia! Perfectly sited amongst stately Oak & Tulip trees (with a very high canopy to provide shade, but not block the vistas), one enters through a set of pillars to a circular driveway anchored by an elaborate fountain. The private parking courtyard (with the 3 car garage) is tucked behind a stone wall. Enter into the residence, and one will be amazed by the level of details, starting with the Corinthian columns, egg & dart moldings & the most unusual hand carved "hand" railing (yes, in the shape of a cupped hand!). There are way too many details to mention, however these highlights will wet one's whistle! The basement was enhanced to include an Art Deco Bar & Movie Theater re-purposed from the Elks Lodge in Centralia, PA. The elaborately detailed & paneled family room was re-purposed from a Church on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. The round, paneled, Trompe L'oeil designed dining room was highlighted in Architectural Digest. Maybe you might want your very own O-Gauge model train room? There is also an entire wall of hand-painted Delft tiles surrounding the fireplace in the Master Bedroom. Near the pool, there is a 21' octagonal pergola with Mahogony louvers to provide shade combined with a full outdoor kitchen, two changing rooms (with showers) and a powder room. Those are just a few of the unique design elements to be found within and around this exquisite estate property. So much has been updated within the past 18 years, including many things one can't see. The gas-fired steam boiler was replaced (significantly reducing the heating costs), all 3 central A/C systems have been replaced, the pool & surrounding decking have been enhanced/expanded for greater functionality, the tennis court was completely re-surfaced, the copper box gutters & copper dormer roofs were completely replaced. Offering 6 spacious bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 3 powder rooms, a modern & updated eat-in kitchen and even a billiards room! Come discover Fox Muir, an elegant property, perfectly scaled for either large parties or intimate gatherings.
