Once part of the historic Chestnutwold Farm, a highly regarded estate in Radnor Township, this 1841 home is a rare blend of heritage and modern livability. Thoughtfully reimagined over time, the property is a collection of inviting spaces, offering a main residence, a charming guest cottage, and a versatile barn—all set around a welcoming courtyard on 1+ beautifully maintained acres. The main house is rich in character, with a gracious front entry leading to a turned staircase and a fireside living room just beyond, perfectly scaled for gatherings. A sunroom, wrapped in windows, offers year-round views of the gardens, bluestone terrace, and stunning pool. The open dining area flows seamlessly into the family room, where built-in bookshelves frame a gas fireplace, creating an intimate yet open space for daily living. Rough-sawn beams, deep window sills, and hardwood floors throughout add warmth and authenticity. Designed with both function and style in mind, the kitchen features soapstone countertops, classic painted cabinetry, and a suite of Thermador appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, and a built-in refrigerator. A side entrance provides practical storage for coats and pantry items, while a cleverly tucked-away rear entry, hidden behind a barn door, reveals a potting sink and laundry area. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite is bathed in natural light, offering multiple closets and a well-appointed bath with a double vanity, soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms include one with an ensuite bath, while two others share a beautifully tiled hall bath. A flexible fifth room, currently a Peloton space, could easily serve as an office or nursery. Across the courtyard, the former gardener’s cottage has been transformed into a guest retreat, complete with Dutch doors on both the front and back, a vaulted ceiling with wood detailing, hardwood floors, a full kitchen, and a beautifully remodeled bath. Below, a brick-floored bar and recreation space create a cozy, tucked-away gathering spot. Additional storage and mechanicals are neatly integrated into this level. One of the original 19th-century barns stands proudly at the entrance to the courtyard, serving as garage space, a party barn, and additional storage. The surrounding grounds are designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with a deep bluestone terrace, fire pit, and a striking pool that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Meticulously maintained and carefully updated, this property balances the craftsmanship of its 1841 origins with the easy flow and connection of a modern floor plan. It is a home that welcomes, inspires, and lives beautifully in every season.
