Situated in the captivating neighborhood of Chestnut Hill, this property is more than just a home; it’s a rare opportunity to reside in one of Philadelphia’s most celebrated architectural treasures.

A Historic Masterpiece by Wilson Eyre Jr.

Originally built in 1883, Anglecot Mansion was the vision of esteemed Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre Jr., known for his contributions to the Queen Anne and Shingle architectural styles. Designed as a “forty-five-degree angle cottage” for Charles Adams Potter, a prominent linoleum manufacturer, the mansion exudes an unmistakable charm. Its placement at the intersection of Evergreen and Prospect Avenues inspired its unique name, a clever abbreviation of “Angled Cottage.”

Over the decades, Anglecot has been a residence for high society, a venue for grand events, and even a healthcare facility. One of its most notable transformations occurred in the early 1980s when it was lovingly restored and converted into nine distinct condominiums by Anglecot Associates, ensuring that its historic character would endure for future generations.
