About This Home
As of February 2021Nestled on a quiet and beautifully landscaped acre of land is one of the Main line's historical treasures. Lovingly and meticulously restored and enhanced throughout the years, the John Thompson Spencer, Colonial Revival Home, circa 1857 will captivate you from the moment you enter through the front door. This home exudes the charm and character of long ago with luxurious top of the line finishes found only in today's custom-built homes. Step into the gathering room. With its two fireplaces, deep curved window sills, and gorgeous oak flooring, imagine welcoming your guests on a snowy evening! A powder room, with an exposed stone wall, and a coat closet are off of the entry. To your right is a room with cathedral ceilings, flagstone floor & a wood-burning fireplace, currently used by the owner as an art studio. Surrounded by windows, this room has three skylights and a French door leading to the backyard. Antique shelving and candelabras are added touches. This private space would be ideal for a home office or remote learning classroom. To the left of the gathering room is the grand dining room, with space to comfortably seat parties of twelve or more. A built-in service bar makes entertaining easy, with built-in shelving, cabinetry, wet bar & wine refrigerator. There are two additional closets with shelving for dishes, glassware & linen storage. Another coat closet and door leading to the basement is off of the dining room. Through the dining room is the heart of the home. What a magnificent space for entertaining! This large kitchen with its custom rustic cherry cabinets, Wolf gas range and double ovens, Sub Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and massive island is every chef's dream. The kitchen opens to the four seasons keeping room, surrounded by windows and two sets of French doors that open to the backyard and spacious covered porch with Ipe flooring. This new addition with its gleaming barn wood flooring was seamlessly integrated with the house, enhancing the living and entertaining space. A massive stone see-through fireplace leads to the comfortable brick floor family room with built-in cabinets and window seat. A mudroom with built-in cubbies and powder room are conveniently located off of the kitchen, with another entrance into the house from the driveway, as well as entrance into the two-car garage. A back staircase leads directly to the master bedroom and bath suite. This cathedral ceiling bedroom with a gas fireplace is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. Open the French doors onto the upper deck to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or watch the sunset with a glass of wine. You will never want to leave this retreat with its spa-like bath, resplendent with glass-enclosed shower, a large cast-iron Kohler soaking tub, double sinks, Moen mirrored medicine cabinets & private toilet area. A closet as well as a large walk-in closet with built-ins complete this room. Also on the second floor is a laundry room with a sink and cabinets. Continue through a hallway/dressing area of closets with built-ins to two generous sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one with a tub, the other with a shower. There are two other bedrooms on the third floor. A large basement with a beautiful stone fireplace houses all utilities and abundant space for additional storage. This space would be ideal for a pool room and wine cellar. Step outside and notice how the landscaping, with picturesque stone walls and outdoor lighting has been as carefully planned and executed as the interior of the home. The two mahogany wood garage doors were added in 2018. Even the garage has added built-ins for storage. Located in the top-rated Tredyffrin/Easttown school district, you are convenient to major commuter routes, train, shopping, restaurants, and Valley Forge National Park. You are within walking distance to Jenkins Arboretum, the train and to Berwyn's many little restaurants. Make this story-book home yours today. It is not to be missed!
