Property Description

This impressive historic estate on Ivy Mills Rd. could be YOURS! Among the hustle of Delaware County is this unique, romantic property. The Walters House circa 1700 and its outbuildings are off Ivy Mills Rd. (formerly Walter Rd.) and sit on nearly 3.5 picturesque acres (2-parcel property of 2.3 acres and .95 acre backlot). Steeped in history, this stone farmhouse was built on 100 acres of land and purchased by Godwin Walter, a Quaker, who came to Philadelphia from England in 1685. The Walter family owned the property until the turn of the 19th century, then changed hands to another Quaker family who planted an orchard, and now to the Owners who made updates and additions throughout 2 decades - most recently renovated Bathrooms, updated cedar shingle roofs, pool house and stable, and more. Set back from the road, a split rail fence envelopes this 5BR 3½ bath 3,300 sq. ft. home that faces south and is magnificently perched on a sloping hill. 3-bay covered parking (16 x 32 workshop below), storage barn, 20’ x 45’ Pool House, in-ground Sylvan pool, stone milk house and stone building, ideal for a potting shed, all reside on the property and offer endless potential. A covered brick porch fronts this iconic 3-level farmhouse that is accented with myriads of outdoor spaces and breathtaking views of mature trees and verdant grounds. Step into the original wide plank oak and white pine floored Foyer and a traditional floor plan emerges. Architectural elements such as 6-inch baseboards, rustic exposed ceiling beams, foot-plus natural wood mantled windows, deep inset doorways and continued original hardwoods are throughout the home, lending charm and character. In the stately Living Room is the first of many wood-burning fireplaces combined with abundant natural light, creating inviting ambiance. A FP with brick hearth, larger and even more dramatic, is echoed in the Dining Room along with a twister staircase and walk-in nook that was converted to a full Wet Bar. Head back to a sunken, vaulted ceiling Kitchen where delightful bump-out floor-to-ceiling all-windowed Breakfast Area offers sunlight to highlight the built-in wood-burning FP nestled in a stone accent wall, chestnut cabinets, corner hutches and approximately 7’ x 4’ wide, wood-topped island with cooktop. Don’t miss the circular glass floor inset that reveals the original stone well. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a classic Library/Den with shelved-lined walls, a recently renovated half Bath with pocket door and Mud Room tucked off the back. Two flights of stairs both lead up to the Primary Suite, which offers ageless appeal with rich original poplar floors, charming exposed beams and stone wall, retreat area and en-suite renovated Bath. The 2nd and 3rd levels of home collectively feature 4 secondary Bedrooms and 2 full Baths, small kitchenette, and flex space, exercise room, or walk-in closet/dressing room. The grounds are spectacular where lush lawns blend into robust towering trees, and sunlit spaces give way to shaded havens. Brick walkway winds up to the in-ground pool with ivy-adorned trellis and surrounding half stone walls and private brick terrace. Formerly dubbed the pool house, this now flex space could be studio, office, or guest cottage thanks to its generous square footage, host of amenities and beautiful views. The main space of the pool house has a brick FP, exposed wood beams and ample room for conversation areas. Opens to a full Kitchen and wraps to a Bedroom, full Bath, Laundry Room and exterior access. The Barn sits on the far edge of the property, overlooks the front lawn and is a space that can be redesigned to be a brilliant fusion of an art studio, pottery nook, craft corner and more! Just 6 miles to Philadelphia Airport, merely 1.5 miles to Rts. 1 and 202 and resides in the award-winning Garnet Valley school district. This estate is a timeless treasure with a bright future, tucked in an unequaled location!
