IN COOPERATION WITH
Some homes simply have no equal; HONEYSTONE is such a residence. Designed in a striking combination
of Pennsylvania granite, millstone, and Belgium block, this enchanting 19TH CENTURY MASTERPIECE
was envisioned by famed Philadelphia architect Frederick Bissinger and constructed by E.B. Mahoney
Builders with FINE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS rarely seen in post-World War II construction.
Its incredible setting is walking distance to the train, exemplary schools, country clubs and golf courses —
including the renowned Marion Golf Club — yet offers COMPLETE PRIVACY. Set in a hidden cul-de-sac
on a stunning three-acre parcel amongst century-old trees and lush lawns, this estate is a LUXURIOUS
AND WARM ESCAPE FROM THE CITY with unlimited opportunity for entertaining, lounging, or playing.
Be the envy of Radnor Township at Honeystone.

Frederick L. Bissinger, Jr, F.L. Bissinger Inc.
As a child, young Frederick Bissinger was exposed to the diversity of
cultural heritage that inspired the “fine old houses” of Philadelphia’s
Chestnut Hill and the Main Line by driving through American
suburbs. This family past time lead him to his passion. After
attending Yale University he went on to study architecture at the
University of Pennsylvania. There, he learned the details of the trade,
though he says most of his knowledge came from experiences
outside of the classroom. In 1970 he opened F.L. Bissinger, Inc.,
a small design-build firm focusing on single-family residential
homes with an emphasis on Artisan Revival Style, a name Fred
developed to celebrate the revival of fine craftsmanship and details
commonly found in the best pre-World War II homes. Known for a
high degree of artistic expression; elements like distinctive fireplace
mantels, sweeping stairways and chimneys that punctuate the skyline;
and inventive techniques that provide clients truly custom work, the
firm is now one of the most prominent and sought after Pennsylvania.
ABOUT THE ARCHITECT
31HONEYSTONE
Edwin Mahoney, E.B. Mahoney Builders
To this day, the phrase “Mahoney-built” is widely known as an
identifier that signifies a home crafted to the highest standards
of quality and integrity. Having started their first construction
business in 1926, the Mahoney family built a brand based on hard
work and uncompromising quality. Many of the homes that stand
on Philadephia’s Main Line today bear the imprint of this business.
Edwin is the third generation version of a long and proud tradition
sustained over 90 years. In this time, E.B. Mahoney Builders has
been awarded numerous times for their outstanding commitment
to quality and service, although client satisfaction is their greatest
achievement. This reputation makes E.B. Mahoney one of
Pennsylvania’s busiest and most requested builders.

Bid on a case of the Emeritus Vineyards 2011 Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir, as well
as a guided tour of the Hallberg Ranch in Sebastopol, California with founder and
proprietor Brice Cutrer Jones for up to four people.
The 2011 vintage provided a rare occasion in California to make a wine elegant in style, more delicate,
more fragrant and more feminine in nature than usual. This is a joyful wine that retains its freshness yet
remains reserved. It is lively with vibrant acidity that carries red fruit aromas of strawberry and raspberry.
This is a very special vintage — the year dry farming finally fulfilled its promise.
