400 LEOPARD RD Berwyn, PA 19312

Both historic treasure & modern beauty, this one-of-a-kind home offers the best of both worlds. Originally part of the Sharp Estate & built by one of Berwyn's founding families in the 1800s, this cherished home's current owners have been the stewards of major improvements to transform "Breeze Hill" into its current spectacular state.

A marble entry foyer welcomes you into this fabulous family home & leads into a lovely study with a gas fireplace, a large sunny living room that invites relaxation around the corner fireplace, & an elegant dining room for festive holiday gatherings. Among the noteworthy "too many to mention" upgrades are a 2010 family room addition designed to blend seamlessly with the original stone exterior.
