AUCTION - Seller offering property via online auction, Monday, May 20th with a starting bid of $1.5M. Preview starts Friday, May 17th. ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS MUST BE PRE-QUALIFIED BY AUCTION COMPANY BEFORE BEING ADMITTED FOR A PREVIEW. The adjacent Linden Hill Estate at 1543 Monk is also going to auction. Linden Court on 12.48± acres, in one of the Philadelphia Main Line's most exclusive areas, is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience legacy, estate living at its historic finest, with 21st century amenities. The main residence and its secondary stone structures are in excellent condition, having been magnificently maintained by the present owners. Enter Linden Hill Court's very secluded grounds and travel past fenced pastures and stone outbuildings reminiscent of the quaintest of French villages. Enter the courtyard formed by two residences, a turreted primary house and a guest house, a 10-car garage, woodwork shop, maintenance building, and a quaint two-stall barn. Linden Court’s primary residence offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths; the guest house offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Constructed by architect Edmund B. Gilchrist from 1928 to 1931, the estate was originally built for stockbroker Rodman Ellison Griscom and purchased in the 1950s by John T. Dorrance, the Campbell’s Soup chemist. Dorrance raised his family on the estate until the mid 1990s. All set within absolutely stunning gardens, stone walls and grounds. As a picturesque legacy property, look no farther than the timeless and spectacular Linden Hill Court. Set in a quiet, walkable Gladwyne neighborhood, it is also just minutes from clubs, golf courses, recreational facilities, center city Philadelphia, trains, renowned schools, shopping and Philadelphia International Airport.
