Description

Set in Radnor Township, this 5-bedroom, 3-story farmhouse is a compelling blend of architectural legacy and thoughtful modern living. Originally built in 1846, the home began as a substantial farmhouse—part of the area’s deep agricultural roots—and evolved over the decades with additions that reflect the architectural styles of their time. The result is a home with depth, character, and integrity, unified by beautiful stonework, deep window sills, exposed interior stone walls, custom paneling, and wide-plank floors. The current owner, a skilled craftsman, has guided the home's updates with an expert hand and a discerning eye. At the center of daily life is a bright, white kitchen, anchored by a striking navy blue seated island and outfitted with a suite of high-end appliances. This space flows seamlessly into a casual dining area and a stunning family room wrapped in three walls of oversized windows. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, this open, airy space has become the heart of the home. For quieter moments, a warm and moody library/den is tucked off one of the home’s two foyers—a perfect setting for focused work, reading, or relaxed fireside evenings. The second foyer, styled with a shiplap ceiling, stone flooring, and an exposed stone wall, draws attention to one of the home’s original exterior windows—now a unique and charming interior feature that speaks to the property's layered history. Just beyond the more formal of the two entries lies what was once the original parlor—now styled as a refined sitting room that transitions easily to a formal dining space when the occasion calls. The room’s generous proportions and architectural detail allow it to function beautifully in both roles. A separate bar room adds yet another distinctive feature. Here, a brick-surround fireplace original to the home (now decorative) anchors the space, while expansive prep counters and glass display cabinetry make it both functional and visually striking—a space equally suited to entertaining or everyday elegance. Upstairs, the primary suite offers quiet luxury, with wide-plank floors, spacious closets, and deep window sills that flood the room with soft natural light. The en-suite bath features a large walk-in shower, double vanities, and custom finishes that elevate the space. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath that’s a true showstopper—featuring an exposed stone wall, a custom vanity with a vessel sink, and warm wood flooring that highlights the home’s enduring farmhouse character. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for guests, home office use, or flexible family living. Located within the top-ranked Radnor Township School District, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history—refined and reimagined for today’s lifestyle. With timeless materials, handcrafted finishes, and spaces that welcome both everyday living and elegant entertaining, this is a Main Line classic brought beautifully into the present.
