Unique and jaw-dropping Revolution-era stone home, perched above Gulph Creek at Hanging Rock. Originally formed by connecting centuries old textile mills, and redone for the 21st c. with exquisite charm and taste by local artisans.
Exposed beams and tinders on spacious ceilings. Accent walls of stone, old brick, Tudor beams and Venetian plaster. The floors! Random-width pine planks with walnut plugs. Huge swaths of genuine Mercer tiles, also adorning some of the 5 fireplaces. Spectacular kitchen by Ron Markee. Luxe baths. Radiant heating and zoned AC. 4100 sf. + garage and studio.
On the first floor, 3 gigantic extraordinary rooms flexible enough to meet all your living, dining, work and entertaining needs. A bedroom overlooking the babbling brook. All windows with views of the creek, surrounding woods, terraced gardens and architecture. Full bath and a powder room, indoor-outdoor space everywhere. An outdoor fireplace and amphitheater.
Second floor: four charming bedrooms and 3 baths. Primary suite with bath and modern dressing room. More storage space than you will ever need. Outdoor deck, stone steps, more gardens and a bridge.
Even the unfinished basement surprises and delights. Built-in cedar closet, root/wine cellar. Outdoor exit to stone garden path.
2.17 very private acres but 5 minutes from I-76. 20 minutes to Center City Philadelphia. 1-3/4 hours to the Holland Tunnel. 10-minute walk to Gulph Mills Station or Matsonford Station.
The finishes, details and opportunities are too extensive to mention. This special home has been priced to reflect the work needed, making it the perfect canvas for your creative vision. Forget comparables, there’s nothing anywhere like it. It’s a must-see. Come look for yourself!
