That's a Bryn Mawr home of Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group Inc. and one of the most-admired CEOs (albeit former) in the Philadelphia area. It has recently gone up for sale at an asking price of $2.35 million, according to various listing services.
Is Bogle bugging out? Moving across town? Sensing an even bigger drop in the real estate market? We've put in a call to his office.
The home is known as the Jay Gates Residence, according to the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings web site. Here's the description of the house from Prudential Fox and Roach:
Located on one of the Main Line's most desirable and private lanes...this handsome stone & stucco colonial is a one-of-a-kind property. A blend of old and new with large inviting rooms, high ceilings and three fireplaces. Some special features include deep Jefferson windows and French doors, spacious eat-in Kitchen with large island and skylights. Adjoining the Kitchen is a magnificent Family Room with vaulted ceiling and large stone fireplace with raised hearth, first floor office and bright Playroom. Lovely terraces, 2 car Garage, circular drive and original 100 year old 'Smokehouse' complete this magnificent 1 1/2 acre estate.
