Property Description
Behind a landscaped stone privacy wall, the brick-lined circular driveway leads you to the stately entrance of this 7 bedroom, 4 full, and 2 half bath home. This home offers the best features found in custom homes today, having undergone an addition in 2017 and extensive renovations in recent years. However, it also retains many period details, including original hardwood floors, 10-ft.+ ceilings and 2 wood-burning, and 1 gas fireplace with period mantels and surrounds, as well as a flagstone porch.
Upon entering the grand foyer, you are drawn to the views of the property. To the left, the dining room with built-in China cabinets opens through a French door to the terrace. A swinging door in the dining room leads to the original full service butler’s pantry. On the other side of the pantry, the kitchen and breakfast room are filled with natural light from skylights and large windows. High-end appliances include a Wolf double wall oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, GE built-in microwave, Décor cooktop and Shaw sink. The center island seats three. The kitchen has extensive custom cabinetry, including a built-in cabinet door to the 1,000-bottle wine cellar on the lower level. A mudroom includes the first-floor laundry, and 1 of 2 first-floor powder rooms.
The formal living room, off the foyer, flows into an office/sitting room with woven grass cloth wallpaper. It also opens to the sunroom addition, built in 2017, which showcases vaulted coffered ceilings. A wall of windows overlooks the expansive rear yard, and French doors open to the flagstone terrace. French doors also lead to the family room with wood burning fireplace. The family room offers excellent entertainment opportunities, but is also perfect for a quiet night watching TV at home, with its adjoining bar room featuring a custom built 2 tiered, Alderwood bar with seating for six. Just off this room is the custom movie theater that offers leather reclining chairs for twelve, barstool seating for seven and a 133” x 56” screen.
Atop the elegant staircase, the second level includes the primary bedroom suite with hardwood floors, fireplace, vaulted ceiling and 2 walk-in closets. The primary bath has a dual vanity, glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub and separate water closet. A sitting room offers access to the upper-level laundry. The second level has 3 additional bedrooms, a home gym, and a full bath in the hallway and an office. The third level offers 3 more bedrooms, 2 full baths and bonus room.
The gorgeous grounds have terraced gardens, statues, fountains, walking paths and seating areas. Extensive landscaping by Gale Nurseries adds to the beauty. You’ll also enjoy an inground pool, Har-Tru tennis court and the convenience of a detached, 3-car garage. Located in the top-rated Tredyffrin-Easttown School District less than a quarter mile from the Strafford Station with service to Phila. and NYC.
Adjacent to the historic Old Eagle School the residence was called “Sharraden”, named after the German immigrant who bought a 150 acre parcel for farming in 1765. This 8,477 sq ft home was the country estate of Gertrude Gouverneur Clemson Smith, once Katherine Hepburn’s mother-in-law. Today the historic school hosts many neighborhood events.
