About This Home
As of January 2022Welcome Home! Meticulously maintained stone and clapboard colonial with sun-filled rooms in a beautiful conserved setting in bucolic Old Newtown Square. This traditional house is privately situated on 5.97 acres (2.97 acres conserved) on quiet side street and is surrounded by many acres of conserved land. Gorgeous views and terraces highlight this property with hand crafted stone work where outdoor entertaining and casual day to day living can also be enjoyed around the pool. There is a large outbuilding that is presently used as a pool house and additional garage space but could also be converted to barn space. This home is perfection for carefree, day-to-day lifestyles or grand-scale entertaining! A short walk to Aronimink Country Club or a bike ride to EA, this property is perfectly located and is convenient to great dining and shopping, Center City and the airport. Town and Country living at its best! 653-655 Andover Road includes 2.97 acres of conserved land with the Brandywine Conservancy. There are no restrictions on the use of the field for livestock. Accessory structures are permitted, with some impervious restrictions. While no pond is permitted, the field can be mowed or tended. It cannot be cleared but dead and damaged trees may be removed. The conserved acreage is an important element of this property as it allows for unfettered enjoyment of the beautiful views from the house.
