Timeless 18th-Century Stone Residence with Modern Finishes + Mix Use Opportunity
A rare blend of historic character and modern sophistication, ideal for an elevated live/work lifestyle. Located within the esteemed Garnet Valley School District.
The home offers exceptional historic curb appeal, defined by its classic stone architecture and preserved period detailing that create an immediate sense of presence and charm. A beautifully private rear patio extends the living experience outdoors, offering a serene and intimate setting that complements the home's historic aesthetic. Framed by the stone architecture and surrounding landscape, this space is ideal for quiet relaxation or elegant outdoor entertaining with a strong sense of privacy and character.
Inside, the residence seamlessly balances preserved craftsmanship with elevated everyday living, showcasing beautifully maintained original solid hardwood floors throughout much of the home. Classic, historically appropriate windows fill the residence with natural light while maintaining its architectural integrity. Refined millwork, intricate detailing, vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, and generous closet space further enhance a layout that is both functional and memorable.
The main level is thoughtfully designed for both refined everyday living and sophisticated entertaining, offering a seamless flow between beautifully appointed spaces. A gracious living room and a separate family room provide distinct yet equally inviting areas for gathering, each enhanced by abundant natural light, detailed millwork, and their own elegant fireplaces. At the heart of the home, a meticulously renovated chef's kitchen impresses with a professional-grade gas stove, an expansive center island, and a striking original fieldstone accent wall that adds depth and authenticity. A spacious walk-in pantry ensures both convenience and elegance in function. The kitchen opens directly to a private rear patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience ideal for upscale entertaining. A fireplace within the kitchen further elevates the ambiance, offering warmth and a refined setting for intimate gatherings. Two well-appointed powder rooms add comfort and practicality for guests. A dedicated laundry room is discreetly positioned for ease of use.
The second level offers well-appointed bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite featuring a recently updated en-suite bathroom. This private retreat is designed with a walk-in shower and a soaking tub positioned to take in serene views of the expansive, private rear patio and surrounding landscape. The level is further enhanced by additional bedrooms and three fully updated bathrooms, combining comfort, scale, and modern finishes. A large, flexible bonus area provides exceptional versatility and can be used as a kids' playroom, home office, or additional lounge space depending on lifestyle needs.
The attic provides generous storage space, adding practical functionality while preserving the home's primary living areas.
Significant capital improvements enhance comfort, efficiency, and long-term value, including a new roof (2020), partial siding replacement, and select windows and skylights updated between 2020-2024. Additional upgrades include updated electrical systems, basement waterproofing (2023), and a new zoned hydronic heating system. The property is served by a private well water system, valued for its clean, clear quality, and an on-site septic system with an approximately 1,500-gallon tank and multiple access risers (three-lid configuration) for ease of maintenance. A notable feature is the right-wing addition, offering exceptional flexibility for use as a home office or it can be converted into two car garage.
Set in a private, picturesque setting yet close to major routes, shopping, and regional amenities, this rare historic property offers a unique blend of character and modern functionality.
