True Peace and Privacy in Radnor Hunt True Peace and Privacy in Radnor Hunt. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com LOCATION Philadelphia Main Line Malvern, Willistown Township Chester County, PA Radnor Hunt Club Area This Property is located on the Philadelphia Main Line, in the heart of ‘Radnor Hunt’, in Willistown Township, Malvern, Chester County, PA (about 18 miles west of Center City Philadelphia). Within Willistown Township, this Property is located off a long country road which is dotted with estates and large horse farms, in the area which generally surrounds the Radnor Hunt Club, the White Manor Golf Club, and the charming historic hamlets of ‘White Horse’ (at the intersection of Goshen and Providence Roads), and, ‘Sugartown’, (at the intersection of Sugartown and Dutton Mill Roads). Within the Philadelphia Region, this area is part of the coveted ‘western Main Line’, and is known and widely referred to simply as ‘Radnor Hunt’ – originating from the fact that this area originally comprised the vast countryside which was (and still is) traversed by the Radnor Hunt, one of the oldest organized foxhunts in the nation. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com L O C A L A R E A Radnor Hunt is an extremely affluent, valuable, and highly sought-after area; it is well- known for large estates and horse farms, incredibly beautiful postcard-perfect scenery, and huge tracts of undeveloped land – this the result of diligent, well-funded, and very successful efforts by landowners here to place permanent conservation easements on literally thousands of acres of open land here. Land conservationists and historic preservationists in Radnor Hunt were committed early pioneers -- and are now nationally recognized leaders -- in the widespread use of land conservation easements to eliminate or significantly minimize future development of open land; today, there are vast tracts of land in Radnor Hunt (much of it contiguous) which will always remain open and undeveloped. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com This permanent protection of literally thousand of acres of land (and the fact that the beautiful views, vistas and natural features in the Radnor Hunt area will never change) --has proven to be an extremely important element of value for high net worth buyers in particular, and has been a primary driver for consistent demand from high net worth buyers for fine properties in Radnor Hunt, and, for the consistently increasing values of these properties. Perhaps as a result, today Radnor Hunt is home to a number of high- profile company founders, executives, professional athletes, and celebrities … film director M. Knight Shamalyan owns two sprawling estates in Radnor Hunt, and pro athletes Roy Halladay, Ryan Madson, and Cole Hamels have homes nearby. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com This incredibly scenic and peaceful area offers the quintessential ‘Town and Country’ lifestyle … people here are known to be accomplished, friendly, genteel, low-key -- and there is an active community of equestrians, artists, and philanthropists. People here have deep appreciation for both the spectacular scenery and the history of this place … this appreciation has taken active form in the enduring commitment on the part of many landowners here to conserve and thereby permanently protect the area’s natural and historic resources for future generations. Radnor Hunt also has a long-established appeal to high net worth individuals for its close proximity to both the infrastructure and the cultural resources of Philadelphia … from here, it is only about a 20-25 minute drive to PHL International Airport, about 25-30 minutes to the Stadium complex, and, about 40 minutes to Center City. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com Within a 10-20 minute drive of this Property, there is a vast and diverse collection of shops ; restaurants ; movie theatres ; hospitals ; colleges and universities ; grocery stores (including both Whole Foods and Wegmans) ; and, a number of national, state, and local parks -- including the sprawling Valley Forge National Historic Park, which is only about a 15 minute drive. This Property is located within the highly regarded Great Valley Public School District ; in addition, within 10-20 minutes, there is an excellent selection of highly-rated private schools -- including The Haverford School ; Agnes Irwin ; Baldwin ; Malvern Prep ; Shipley ; Academy of Notre Dame ; The Westtown School ; Devon Prep ; Hill School … AND, the new Episcopal Academy campus in Newtown Square is less than a 10-minute drive from this Property. HUNTER, REED AND COMPANY REAL ESTATE SERVICES FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS www.HunterReed.com Also nearby (within about 5-20 minutes), there are numerous highly- rated golf courses and country clubs including Aronimink, Applebrook, Waynesborough, White Manor, Radnor Valley, Chester Valley, Merion Golf, Merion Cricket, and Overbrook. Within about 10-25 minutes, there are numerous Class A corporate and financial centres in Radnor, Great Valley, Chesterbrook, Newtown Square, Exton, Malvern, King of Prussia, Valley Forge, Oaks, Collegeville, Plymouth Meeting, and more. For commuters to Center City, there are numerous Septa R5 stations within 10- 20 minutes of this Property, at Malvern; Paoli (also an AMTRAK commuter station) ; Daylesford ; Berwyn ; Devon ; Strafford ; Wayne ; Radnor, Bryn Mawr ; and Villanova.

Haverford Journal 2.0, if you will. If you’re familiar with this little publication, you have probably already noticed a lot of the superficial changes; if this is your first time reading the Journal, trust us, this cover is much cooler than the old one. So, why are we writing to you? Other than to point out the obvious, we, Thea Hoga- rth and Steve Chehi, wanted to fill you in on what we’ve been up to for the past semester. The Journal is a relatively young publication, which really means that every time the old editors graduate, the new editors try to do something new. With no real precedent to guide us (not even the phone number of a printing company), we’ve decided to preserve what the original editors started, but change our attitudes just a little bit. We won’t bore you with all the details, but we’d like to point out just a few of the new features to be excited about. First, you’ll notice the subtitle on the cover, “Myth & Marginality;” from now on we hope to title our issues according to a theme that unites all the papers we select.

  • A Transformative Urban Redevelopment Opportunity 0 Letter from the Mayor
    The City of Chester: A Transformative Urban Redevelopment Opportunity 0 Letter from the Mayor My Fellow Colleagues, While the pace and shape of Community and Economic Development have changed in the 21st Century one fact remains constant, our history defines our hopes and goals because that is what grounds us as people. We take pride in where we came from, what struggles we faced, and more importantly how we have and continue to overcome those struggles. Chester has a rich history. William Penn’s arrival landed on Chester’s waterfront in 1682 aboard the ship “Welcome”, makes Chester his first landing in Pennsylvania. Martin Luther King attended seminar in Chester. Chester is the oldest city in Pennsylvania and the only city in Delaware County. The hoagie was created in Chester. Chester’s Old Court House is the oldest public building still in continuous use in the Country. In the early and mid-1900s, Chester was the center for commerce, fashion, and industry in Pennsylvania. Therefore “It all Started Here,” in Chester Pennsylvania. “IT ALL STARTS HERE!” and our revitalization will once again be testimony of that rich heritage. We pride ourselves on being a business friendly community that understands the importance of productive relationships with the private sector. We are committed to fostering economic development in a manner that benefits residents, businesses, and visitors alike. We are a small municipal government so decisions on development processes can be made quickly. Some of the factors that favor economic growth in Chester are: State and federal economic development assistance such as LERTA, RACP, HUB Zones and 2 federally identified Opportunity Zones Competitive land acquisition costs compared to Philadelphia and Wilmington Close proximity to 13 percent of the US population Great water and rail access Philadelphia International Airport is 8 miles north of Chester.

  • Testimony from the Lower Merion School District for the Joint Senate
    Testimony from the Lower Merion School District for the joint Senate Health and Human Services Committee and Aging and Youth Committee public hearing on “Implementation of the State Vaccine Plan” Thursday, February 4, 2021 Thank you for the opportunity to submit written testimony on a topic of vital importance and urgency to all Pennsylvania residents and especially the public school community in Lower Merion Township. The Lower Merion School District (LMSD), located in Philadelphia's Main Line suburbs, serves the 62,000 residents of Lower Merion Township and the Borough of Narberth. Established as one of Pennsylvania's first public school districts in 1834, LMSD enjoys a rich tradition of achievement, innovation and community partnership and a longstanding reputation as one of the finest school systems in the United States. The District's six elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools provide a challenging, multi-disciplinary academic program and dynamic, co-curricular experience to more than 8,700 students. We have also been the fastest-growing school district in the state for the last several years. Like all public school districts, we face unprecedented challenges right now delivering education and other critical services to our students during the pandemic. We have been working very closely with the Montgomery Office of Public Health, the Montgomery County Commissioners, the state Department of Education, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and our local community and school district families to provide as much in-person safe education as possible via a mostly hybrid schedule. We have introduced and continue to manage and expand numerous safety and mitigation measures including social distancing, mask wearing, increased ventilation, contact tracing and a new testing program that enables the District to catch positive Covid cases before they are spread in a school building.

THE WELSH TRADITION OF BRYN MAWR Bryn Mawr College's Welsh "tradition" results from its location in the town of Bryn Mawr, a suburb eleven miles west of Philadelphia. Originally named Humphreysville for its founder, the town changed its name to Bryn Mawr (high hill in Welsh) when the towns along the main line of the Philadelphia railroad became posh residential and resort areas. These towns are still today referred to collectively as the Philadelphia Main Line. Bryn Mawr College's first building, Taylor Hall, was named for the College's founder and designed by Addison Hutton in 1884. It's second, also by Hutton, was named Merion to capture some of the Welsh flavor. There is also a town 'called Merion on the Main Line. Radnor Hall, the College's third building and second dorm was designed by Walter Cope and John Stewardson; it opened in 1887.

  • PHILADELPHIA's MAIN LINE MOVING MANUAL by Jennifer Lebow, Relocation Specialist
    PHILADELPHIA'S MAIN LINE MOVING MANUAL by Jennifer LeBow, relocation specialist WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, SCHOOLS & COMMUTING TIMES ARE *REALLY* LIKE HOW THE HOME BUYING PROCESS WORKS HERE WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO CONSIDER jenniferlebow.com - 610.308.5973 - [email protected] About moving to Philadelphia's Main Line Moving is stressful. There. I said it. Not only are there tons of things to remember and the logistics and timing/scheduling can be a nightmare, but there’s also all of the “unknowns”. If you’re moving somewhere you’ve never lived before and you don’t have a network there, it can be a major source of anxiety. Fear not, though! I have created this moving manual to demystify the process and make it easier and less stressful. While it is tailored to people relocating to the Main Line, which is the name for the western suburbs of Philadelphia, much of the information is translatable to other areas. I hope you find it useful. My name is Jennifer LeBow and I’m a real estate agent specializing in Main Line relocation. This manual is designed to help you develop a feel for Philadelphia’s Main Line and find a starting point for your home search. Looking at listings on line is a great place to begin, but can’t provide you with a sense of what the different communities “feel” like or help you understand why one might suit you better than another. That’s where I come in! I believe that "home" isn’t just your house, it’s your neighborhood, too, and I am passionately committed to helping you find a wonderful home, not just a nice house.
