A Collector's Dream

Marple, Delaware County, PA
$849,500

Colonial farmhouse (circa 1730) in stone, wodd and stucco on nearly 2 prime acres overlooking Paxon Hollow Golf Course (the 12th tee!) -- 20 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport and another 10 minutes to Center City. This English-style estate retains the character of a bygone era, even with the modern features and elegance that will bring it comfortably into the 21st century: updated baths and kitchen and central air conditioning. The property includes an historic spring house and a large stone barn that can accommodate up to 16 cars, or at least one horse!

Beautifully appointed and maintained, this large 4 bedroom home (3 full baths & 2 powder rooms) has a charming breakfast room adjoining the kitchen (of cherry wood & Corian), a first-floor library, living room with fireplace, and an Inglenook-style dining room. The master suite has a 3rd room, and a second bedroom suite of 2 rooms includes another fireplace. The large entertainment room at ground level is a replica of an English-style pub: oak beams, brick parterre, Inglenook, and wet bar. Atrium doors lead to a cobblestone patio, barbecue and in-ground pool. There is much more -- and the grounds are spectacular!
