About This Home

As of October 2023

Welcome to this remarkable home, a true gem steeped in history. Dating back to circa 1744, this residence sits on a corner ½ acre lot and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pennsylvania’s distinguished past. The original portion of the house predates the Continental Congress and the Revolutionary War. In 1873, the Hart family expanded the home, adding a third floor and a magnificent second-level ballroom that reflects the grandeur of its time.
To enter this large 3900 square foot home is to be transported to a bygone era. Historical features and architectural details abound and work together to create a peaceful atmosphere rich with character. The original Heart Pine flooring (secured by the original hand-wrought cut nails) graces every level, creating an inviting and warm ambiance throughout.
Deep-set windows flood the rooms with natural light and offer views of the property’s grounds and old-growth trees. Stone walls more than a foot thick, intricate millwork and moldings, and transom windows all serve as reminders of a time when craftsmen made things by hand and made them to last. The distinctive fish-scale slate shingles on the mansard roof add to the timeless appeal of the home.
The historical charm of the Hart Farmhouse extends to its interior, where you'll discover many delightful surprises. A claw-foot tub graces one of the bathrooms, evoking a sense of nostalgia while also inviting you to relax. Additionally, a charming second-level deck provides the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the views of the surrounding yard.
The Hart Farmhouse is as versatile as it is charming. Kitchens on both the first and second floors and bathrooms on all three floors make it ideally suited for larger families or families in need of separate private living spaces to accommodate extended family members and/or in-laws.
The Hart Farmhouse is located on a tranquil cul-de-sac street in the heart of Springfield Township. It enjoys a prime location. Within easy walking distance are the trolley station, the entrance to the newly rebuilt Springfield High School, the Springfield Library, the Springfield Township Building, Police and Fire station, Williams Park, and several local restaurants, service providers and merchants. Moreover, the proximity to the Philadelphia International Airport, downtown Center City, and major highways ensures seamless connectivity to wider destinations.
This home not only serves as a testament to the past, it also provides the modern conveniences and comforts one would expect today. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a vintage American residence that will add pleasure and meaning to the lives of those living within it.
