With Gladwyne again near the top of the nation's most wealthy zip codes, we wondered what real estate options were available to folks with a median household income of $193,152. These three homes are among the priciest in tony Gladwyne, with exactly the kinds of amenities you might expect.

1150 Youngsford Road
$3,950,000
Monthly taxes: $1,464
Tell me all about it: This new-construction estate was inspired by the English country homes built a century ago. We love the option new owners will have of finishing the home according to the builder's specs or to their own liking. The property is more than 13,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms and four levels of living space. Bonus: there is already an elevator shaft ready to be finished.

1820 Aloha Lane
$5,350,000
Monthly taxes: $6,782
Tell me all about it: This 12,401-square-foot estate includes seven en-suite bedrooms, a complete in-law suite and enough outdoor loveliness to rival Longwood Gardens. The 2.6-acre grounds include an infinity pool, fountains, ponds and professionally landscaped gardens. The property also includes a bar and media room in the lower level and a six-car garage outside.

650 Dodds Lane
$4,800,000
Monthly taxes: $9,519
Tell me all about it: Rocky Crest sits on 15 acres and boasts 13 bedrooms, including one massive and jaw-dropping master suite. It features two sitting rooms (including one with a fireplace and balcony), three — yes, three — bathrooms and enormous dual walk-in closets. The home also has a sunroom, library and gaming room. The grounds are fabulous, too, including the oversized in-ground pool adjacent to the pool house and tennis courts.
