Property Description
For the first time, this exquisite home is available on the open market, having always been sold privately in the past. The estate's storied past includes ownership by Elias Boudinot, a prominent figure who served as President of the Continental Congress and was appointed by George Washington as Director of the United States Mint. In the mid-1800s, the property was transformed by a wealthy Philadelphian, who expanded the home in the Italianate style and added a striking four-story tower.
In 1898, the residence underwent extensive renovations, adding a third floor, a grand staircase, and a stunning stained glass Palladium window, while embracing a Victorian neo-Colonial exterior. The original farmhouse became the servants' quarters, and the estate was further enhanced with a porte-cochere, a two-car garage, and a large pier with riparian rights.
Modern amenities include a pool, tennis court, and lush landscaping, complemented by a historic Fairmount Park guard house. The tennis court offers the opportunity to be transformed into a pickleball court. Over the past 40 years, this estate has hosted U.S. Senators, Governors, and celebrities, serving as a venue for charitable and political events.
This home is a dream for those who love water sports, with water access that has even accommodated private pickups by the "Spirit of Philadelphia" yacht. The home has also hosted weddings, with stunning sunsets providing a picturesque backdrop. Gardeners will find joy in the expansive grounds, which once nurtured wild raspberries. The beautifully updated kitchen features a charming tin ceiling, and many architectural details are thoughtfully repeated throughout the home. An elevator ensures ease of access across the first and second levels, making the home both luxurious and practical. A new hot water heater and boiler were also just installed in 2025.
Conveniently located, it offers easy access to Princeton, South Jersey, and Philadelphia. Discover the charm and grandeur of 445 Cottage Avenue, where history meets luxury in a truly exceptional setting, and become the next steward to carry on the home's legacy.
