  • Property Description

    FIRST FLOOR:  The character of this wonderfully unique and historic home is immediately evident upon entering the Living Room (17?6?x13?3?) that is the oldest portion of the structure.  Beautiful original pine floors are found throughout the house and were hand sanded and refinished to protect them.  A great portion of the original moldings and woodwork have been preserved and restored to maintain the integrity of this home.  The formal Dining Room (12?10?x11?6?) is generously sized and features two built-in corner china closets.  The Office (12?x7?) is tucked away to the side of the Dining Room, and leads to the new Powder Room.  These rooms open into the beautiful Kitchen (18?11?x8?3?) that has been completely renovated with great attention to detail and design, and features black granite counters, white cabinetry with bead board accents, porcelain sink with disposal, gas range and built in microwave, recessed lighting, breakfast bar and separate eating area with French doors to the side flagstone patio.  Back stairs lead from the Kitchen to the 2nd floor master suite.  The Kitchen is open to the inviting step down Family Room (18?8?x11?10?) that features a beautiful marble fireplace (gas) with custom carved mantle, flanked by two lovely custom made bookshelves and cabinets, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, many windows, and a door to the flagstone patio and garden.  

    SECOND FLOOR:  The front staircase is in the oldest portion of the house and leads to the two original bedrooms (13?x9?4?)(10?2?X9?5?).  Both of these rooms are charming, quaint and historic with low ceilings, beautiful old floors and one has a ladder for attic access.  The 3rd Bedroom (12?11?x11?8?) has higher ceilings and a large storage closet.  The Hall Bath has been completely renovated with all new fixtures, bead board walls, new tub and shower with ceramic tile surround, new tile floor and large linen closet.  The Master Suite occupies the remainder of the second floor.  This suite offers a large walk-in closet with built-in closet system, a separate laundry room with storage cabinets, a complete new Master Bath and Master Bedroom.  The beautiful Master Bath has two porcelain standing sinks, a ceramic tile shower and seamless glass surround, bead board walls and plantation shutters, and a tasteful ceramic tile floor.  A Dutch door leads into the Master Bedroom ((19?9?x11?10?), a beautiful room with high ceilings, skylights, many windows and French doors opening onto a balcony that overlooks the garden.  Other features of the Master Suite include new hardwood floors, recessed lights, and a back staircase that leads to the kitchen. 

    EXTERIOR:  The character and charm of this home continue in the gardens where old stone walls, flagstone patios, fenced gardens, lovely flower beds and a beautiful lawn make the perfect setting.  The garden is quite deep and a detached garaged is located in the rear of the yard.  This is one of only a few remaining historic homes in ?Banjotown?, and the uniqueness and historic significance of this neighborhood play an important role in the history of Radnor. 

    INCLUSIONS:  Washer & Dryer; Refrigerator. 

    EXCLUSIONS:  DR chandelier (to be replaced with brass chandelier); shelf in nursery.
