Tell me all about it: This six-bedroom Radnor home features five fireplaces with a variety of beautiful finishes. We see stone, we see brick, we see finely carved mantelpieces. The home also boasts a detached, five-car garage with a finished living space above. Since the au pair suite is already part of the main home, we suppose you might stash a gardener or a pool boy up there.

Tell me all about it: Will you hang your stockings over the ornately carved marble fireplace in the family room? Or will you hang them beside the carved wood lions astride the fireplace in the den?

The lower level boasts a wine bar as well as a traditional bar, a game room, a library and a gym. If that’s not enough, peek outside at the salt-water infinity pool.
