If you loved the Tudor-style castle in New Jersey we recently profiled, you’ll drool over this massive fairytale Pennsylvania castle that is listed just shy of $10,000,000. We think it’s great competition for the eclectic New York castle the Internet went wild for.
“Poised gracefully amidst the picturesque landscape of Gladwyne, this architectural marvel effortlessly blends sophistication with meticulous craftsmanship,” begins the listing for 841 Merion Square Road in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania.

“Each room within the residence tells its own story of impeccable design and attention to detail.”
Even the gilded home theater has a story to tell—and it’s one of rich extravagance totally fit for royals. This is one of the many times velvet was right.
“From the lavish master suite, boasting a private terrace overlooking meticulously manicured gardens, to the inviting guest quarters adorned with bespoke furnishings and accents, every space exudes an air of timeless sophistication.”
Gilded furniture, crystal chandeliers imported from Europe and fine, custom-made drapes dot every corner of the home. To be frank, we haven’t seen this much drapery in ages. We’re incredibly into it and we’re sure our chic great-grandmothers would approve from the heavenly beyond.
We’re particularly obsessed with the home library’s hand-crafted ceilings, built-in wood bookshelves, ladder balcony and velvet seating. It’s a large-scale fantasy book nook for the most successful literature nerds.
Working wood and gas fireplaces accent almost every room in this 30,000-square-foot castle. You’ll have plenty of rooms to choose from for your Christmas stockings and toddler stocking stuffers, stocking stuffer ideas for men and Christmas gifts for women.

“At the heart of the estate lies the culinary haven, where meticulously crafted cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances converge to create a space as functional as it is stylish. Here, culinary masterpieces are born amidst an atmosphere of refined charm and effortless grace.”
We’re obsessed with the on-trend cream-colored accents throughout the cookspaces. It’s a timeless shade that happens to be having a very ‘in’ moment.
And that marble island! So dreamy!
Each of Gladwyne Castle’s seven bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms comes complete with princess-level design touches guaranteed to impress even the most finicky royals. The beds seem to be plucked right out of a Cinderella movie—even though the home was built in 2007.
It’s less than 20 years old!
And if you like hosting large parties—this house is a dream-come-true with an operational wood-lane bowling alley, spectacular billiards room, home bar that rivals some of the world’s best pubs and even an indoor pool.
“Beyond the main residence, three outbuildings provide additional accommodations for guests or staff, seamlessly blending with the estate’s architectural aesthetic.”

A sprawling terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco gatherings, while carefully curated gardens, designed by renowned landscape architects, invite moments of quiet contemplation amidst nature’s splendor.”
