Abstract: An 1893 castle called Linden Gate in Ambler, Pennsylvania is looking for its next owner - someone willing to pay $1.3 million.

The historic 7,102-square-foot home was originally built by Philadelphia architect Milton Bean as a wedding gift for the son of a local doctor named Richard Mattison.

 

Ambler natives may not be unfamiliar with the name: Mattison was half-owner of the famed Keasbey & Mattison Company, which sold asbestos-related products internationally well into the 20th century, earning the town the title of "Asbestos Capital of the World."

Aside from the shocking asbestos connection (in Mathieson's day, it wasn't widely recognised that the substance was toxic), the lovingly renovated home retains much of its Gilded Age charm.

 

Elegant elements include intricate wainscot ceilings, original tile fireplaces and deep bay windows. The six-bedroom, four-bath layout features a breakfast area in the gourmet chef's kitchen and the carriage house has been converted into a garage.

The main level includes a formal dining room with seating for 12, ideal for hosting dinner parties.

 

The second level has a private office and four bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite, which boasts a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with heated floors, a glass shower and clawfoot tub.

 

The third level features a family room and wet bar, two additional bedrooms and a bathroom.

The nearly 1 acre lot also features a private backyard with a custom children's play structure and an elegant wrap-around porch that is a true beauty to behold.

 

Several recent upgrades have raised the bar on the home's modern comforts. Listing information indicates that central air conditioning, a boiler, and a large water heater are among these improvements.

 

8 Lindenwold Terrace is within easy reach of downtown Ambler's shops and restaurants, and convenient for commuters: the train station and Pennsylvania Turnpike are also within easy reach.
