Description

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac street in Westtown Township, this spectacular 1.4-acre property is a rare find in the area, offering the chance to create a truly one-of-a-kind, magnificent estate. It features a grand stone home, built in 1933, an in-ground pool, and a large, detached garage. Old world charm abounds here, from the hand-crafted inlaid tile in the foyer to the original hardwood floors to the many built-ins and crystal doorknobs. Enter the front door and you’ll find a sitting room with a gas fireplace tucked to the side of the foyer—the perfect place for a library, music room or home office. The foyer opens to a stunning living room with random-width hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a wall of windows and French doors offering sweeping views of this beautiful property. This living room spans nearly the entire back of the house, and the French doors lead to a raised stone patio so expansive that you could host a wedding! A conservatory, with a coffered ceiling, sits to the side, also with windows all around and two French doors leading to both the patio and an adjacent courtyard. To the other side of the living room is the kitchen, updated with a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator, and farmhouse sink, and made warm with rustic, salvaged beams, and cherry cabinetry. There is also a powder room nearby. The unique architectural design and details of this home continue upstairs, where you’ll find four bedrooms and three full baths set off an open hallway that’s big enough to be a sitting room. These include a main bedroom suite with a soaring cathedral ceiling, a full bath offering a large shower plus a standing tub, and a walk-in closet. This home also has a separate suite with two rooms, a full bath, its own entrance and endless possibilities as a home office, studio, additional sleeping rooms, or au pair/in-law quarters. Back stairs from the kitchen connect to this space as well as to a finished attic with skylights. Below the suite, and off the side door, is the spacious laundry/mud room that leads to an unexpected octagon-shaped sitting room with a stone wall and brick floor that extends onto the patio. Even the unfinished basement of this house is unusual and interesting, with a wood-burning fireplace and wine cellar! The in-ground pool has newer coping and was replastered (2013); there’s a shed adjacent to it with changing rooms and equipment storage. There is also a huge, detached garage with an attached stall shed for additional storage on the property. Plus, natural gas, public water, and an outstanding location just near Westtown School. This home is the perfect palate for anyone who appreciates design and the solid, custom construction of yesteryear… bring your vision and imagine how you might transform this amazing property into the showstopper it could be!
