Description
Welcome to Floradale! In 1911, Reese M. Fleischmann acquired the acreage for $2,000! Mr. Fleischmann was the personal assistant to Rodman Wanamaker (the Son of John Wanamaker). While I cannot ascertain if Mr. Fleischmann worked for the Father as well, John Wanamaker passed away in 1922 and the Wanamaker ties run deep! In 1915, Mr. Fleischmann hired J. Wilmer Thompson to design his country estate in Moylan. Mr. Thompson was an Architect on the John Wanamaker Company payroll and also employed by Daniel...Welcome to Floradale! In 1911, Reese M. Fleischmann acquired the acreage for $2,000! Mr. Fleischmann was the personal assistant to Rodman Wanamaker (the Son of John Wanamaker). While I cannot ascertain if Mr. Fleischmann worked for the Father as well, John Wanamaker passed away in 1922 and the Wanamaker ties run deep! In 1915, Mr. Fleischmann hired J. Wilmer Thompson to design his country estate in Moylan. Mr. Thompson was an Architect on the John Wanamaker Company payroll and also employed by Daniel H. Burnham, the chief Architect that designed the Wanamaker building that we all know and love today! He named his country estate Floradale and whether that name was derived from the abundance of flora in the region, or as an ode to his wife Florence, it’s a lovely name! With only 3 owners since its construction, Floradale retains many of its original elements, the grandeur of the early days remains evident today. Sited on over an acre of ground, this 5,500+ Sq. Ft. estate home is a hidden oasis. Pull up to the circular driveway and you will find a 2-car garage tucked into the far rear corner of the property. The entrance to the home has a large glass enclosed entry portico with a tiled floor that provides the perfect break from the weather. Enter into a massive formal living & dining area that is 22’ x 40’ with matching stone fireplaces flanking each end. With windows on three sides & an abundance of high-hat lights, one could have huge parties in this great room. The staircase is immediately in front of the entry door, a series of built-in bookcases & cabinets provide an abundance of storage. A small hallway down the left side of the staircase will take you to the front door. The front porch has been enclosed to provide a cozy space to sit & enjoy the nature outside during all four seasons. Directly off that hallway, one will find the original Music Room that has a corner fireplace, French doors to the sunporch and direct access to the kitchen. As one enters the kitchen, you will find the powder room & a large coat closet. The former butler’s pantry & the kitchen area were reconfigured by the current owners that now provides for an abundance of storage on all four walls. A unique catwalk was designed along the ceiling with recessed lighting and a tongue & groove ceiling. There is a rear door to the back yard and the rear staircase to the 2nd floor or the basement. On the 2nd floor, there are a total of 6 spacious rooms (3 dedicated to the owner’s suite) and 3 full baths. At the top of the rear staircase is the former staff bedroom with its own hall bath. The owner’s suite occupies the entire length of the residence. The original sleeping porch overlooking the driveway, now a fantastic space for a home office or dressing room. One can also access the 2nd floor library from the primary suite where the 4th fireplace can be found. Within the primary bedroom is the 5th fireplace, a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. Down the hallway, one will find the 2 remaining guest suites that share a full bath. The washer & dryer were relocated to this bathroom. Ascend to the third floor to the massive, full-depth ballroom! This amazing space provides many options for a playroom, billiards room, media room, home school area or an art studio! Over the sleeping porch is additional space tucked into the roof line, while over the guest bedrooms below, the 5th bedroom, 4th full bath along with another room that would be perfect as another home office. The full basement provides additional options for workshop areas and storage with direct access to the side yard with two exterior doors. Now that we go outside, there are a few other key features of note. In the side yard, the current owners constructed an amazing 3-story playhouse and there is also a swing set! A pathway down the side of the playhouse will take you to a little bridge over the Minquas Run to the remainder of the property’s land on the other side of the creek.
