Property Description
500 Swedesford Road is a transcendent piece of local history. You will be awed at the lengths current owners went to, to meticulously update, manicure, and maintain this stunning homestead with love and pride. The structures were built using materials from 1800's. The main house is plaster over stone, the breezeway, garage and barn are brick and the walled courtyard is the plaster over stone. The circular drive, 3 car garage, slate walkway, and lush landscaping greet you as you begin to get a feel for all that this home offers. Enter from the right entrance into the heart of this home, the family kitchen-great room. No detail was spared in bringing this room up to todays lifestyle. Imagine gathering, cooking, eating, and cozying up to a warm fire, while viewing your rolling property, a view that will not change as the property is bordered by Natural Land Trust and Wissahickon Watershed. The raised ceiling, cozy bay window, and striking fireplace will be the place your family will for hours and hours. The kitchen will inspire the cook and baker hiding inside all of us with its updated cherry cabinets including a spacious desk area for planning, a convenient island that seats 3, and chefs stainless appliances. A large laundry-entry room, sunny powder room, and garage access sit steps away. Ascend the staircase from the kitchen to a private retreat. You will be charmed by the dormer windows, custom built-ins and full bath. Imagine the fun sleepovers or perhaps a private office. Some of the home's finest features are; its large and plentiful windows, deep windowsills, substantial moldings and trim, which are all all tastefully highlighted with quality paint in classic colors. To the left of the kitchen, pass through the exposed stone wall, to enter your formal dining room resplendent with wainscoting, striking windows, and beautiful lighting. Picture hosting dinner parties and Sunday family suppers. What a magnificent flow for entertaining with fabulous property views from every room. After dinner you and your guests can make your way into one of two cozy yet graceful rooms. The formal living room houses the homes original fireplace, built- in shelves and more bright windows. The den across the hall features a built-in entertainment-office unit, the perfect spot for family movie night on your giant sofa. The center hall and stairs are original to the home. Here, you'll also find the original front door, where you might greet guests. Imagine decorating this home for each season and holiday! After all the fun you've enjoyed downstairs lets head upstairs to view the spaces for sleeping and resting. A large bedroom awaits you at the top of the stairs across from which you will find a fully updated bathroom. The primary suite sits at the back of the hall and exudes peace and tranquility with a luxury spa feel. Custom cabinetry, embellished tile, and a his and hers walk in closet add convenience to the plushness. Heading up to the third floor you will pass another fabulous window. The third floor features two more large bedrooms and a smaller room boasting a large cedar closet. This room could function as an office or perhaps an art studio. A large updated hall bath services this floor. Wait there's more... The stunning patio with covered section runs the length of the house. You'll enjoy this space with the beautiful landscaping and custom stone retaining walls with flower boxes. It is accessible from every room in the back of the house. There's even a stone well which the owners have tastefully covered with slate. From this wonderful slate porch you'll enjoy peaceful times gazing at your own paradise. The large pond is fed from the well and contains a gang of koi, gorgeous plantings, and a babbling waterfall you can hear from the patio. The home sits in the award winning Wissahickon School District with easy access to Rts 202, 73, and the PA turnpike. Welcome to your forever home.
