Property Description
Proudly presenting 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue, an extraordinary and rare opportunity to own one of the region’s most storied and masterfully restored historic estates. This landmark residence served as General George Washington’s headquarters during the 1777 Whitemarsh encampment, a pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War. Beautifully sited on almost three acres of manicured grounds in the heart of Fort Washington, the Emlen House is a stately fieldstone manor originally built in 1717 by the prominent Quaker Emlen family for their “country seat,” better known today as their summer home. Steeped in three centuries of legacy, the home spans almost 8,000 square feet across three levels with 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths. The structure’s exterior was built with Camp Hill stone and the limestone for which the area was made famous. The property backs up to 35 acres of permanently preserved open space known as the "Piszek Preserve" consisting of woodlands and a lovely stream. The three story house has recently undergone a meticulous renovation by Cherokee Construction under the guidance of Asher Slaunwhite Architects.
