This beautifully restored Colonial is rich in both history and style. Originally built as a Manse, this remarkable home has provided shelter, comfort, and sustenance to many families over the last 150+ years. Located in the suburban hamlet of Broomall, you are just 20 minutes from Philadelphia, but these days, a world apart. It offers invaluable features far beyond its beautiful architecture and contemporary updates. A six-foot high red cedar privacy fence encloses the entire rear yard and encompasses a small garden house for lawn furniture storage and garden supplies. Until you turn into the driveway, you get barely a glimpse of the home. It is slightly hidden behind a few large trees which provide visual and auditory privacy. The original portion was completed in 1860, with additions in the mid 1900's and 2016. Exquisitely restored, retaining most of the original details, the house has been modernized with an expanded new Kitchen, new Master Suite w/gorgeous new Bath, Central Air Conditioning & new Family Room. Enter the central hall, and you will be immediately taken by the sense of history that still fills these walls, from the original wide-plank floors to the new oversized windows with Plantation Shutters throughout most of the home. The living room and office retain many of the original details - wide window sills, intricate mantels, 6" wide trim. The stunningly updated Kitchen has Granite Counters, Breakfast Bar with 3 Stools; 36" Stainless Steel Sink, dual fuel DCS 6 Gas Burner Range/Electric Oven with Viking hood, and a brand new dishwasher (2022);.
