EXCEPTIONAL VILLANOVA BUILDING OPPORTUNITY | NEARLY ONE ACRE | NO BUILDER TIE-IN An extraordinary opportunity to create a custom luxury residence in one of the Main Line’s most prestigious and sought-after locations. Situated on nearly an acre of level ground in the coveted estate section of Villanova, 1820 Montgomery Avenue presents a rare opportunity to build a distinctive home in an established residential setting in Lower Merion Township. Surrounded by the timeless architecture, beautiful estates, and mature landscapes that define Villanova, this exceptional property offers the ideal setting for a sophisticated new construction residence. A distinctive feature is the property's original stone pillars, believed to be remnants of the historic Clothier estate, offering a unique connection to the area's rich architectural heritage. With generous yet manageable acreage, a desirable location, and the flexibility of no builder tie-in. The possibilities are exceptional. Bring your own architect, builder, and design team to create a home tailored to your vision, whether a classic Main Line stone manor, an elegant transitional residence, or a thoughtfully designed modern estate. The level homesite provides an appealing canvas for gracious indoor and outdoor living, with room to envision beautiful gardens, expansive terraces, and exceptional entertaining spaces, subject to township approvals. Public utilities are available, further enhancing the property's appeal. Beyond the opportunity to build, the location is truly outstanding. Villanova has long been recognized as one of the Main Line's premier residential communities, celebrated for its magnificent homes, distinguished neighborhoods, and exceptional proximity to everything that makes this area so desirable. Enjoy convenient access to the charming boutiques, cafés, and acclaimed restaurants of nearby Wayne and Bryn Mawr, as well as the vibrant shopping and dining destinations of Ardmore, including Suburban Square. For those commuting to Philadelphia or New York City, the location offers exceptional regional accessibility. The Villanova Train Station is less than 1 mile away serving the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail. The nearby Ardmore Station provides Amtrak service to New York City, while SEPTA Regional Rail connects the Main Line to Center City Philadelphia. Philadelphia's Center City is approximately 12 miles away, and major roadways provide convenient access to the region's business centers, cultural attractions, and Philadelphia International Airport. Located within the highly regarded Lower Merion School District and convenient to many of the region's distinguished private schools, universities, country clubs, and recreational amenities, this Villanova address offers an exceptional combination of residential elegance and everyday convenience. Opportunities to acquire nearly an acre of buildable land in this established Villanova setting, without a builder tie-in, are increasingly difficult to find. 1820 Montgomery Avenue presents the freedom to create an extraordinary custom residence in one of the most enduring and desirable locations on Philadelphia's Main Line. An exceptional address. A rare opportunity. A home entirely your own.
