An opportunity to own a property with a fascinating history in the heart of Berwyn! Situated on approximately 0.62 acres in Tredyffrin Township, this four-bedroom home offers a spacious, level lot, an interesting blend of historic features, and a convenient location just a five-minute walk from downtown Berwyn and the train station. With origins believed to date back to the 18th century, the property has ties to the early history of the area, including the former Old Drove Tavern and boarding schools once associated with the site.
A flagstone walkway leads to the covered front porch and Dutch door entry. Inside, the living room features hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace, while the dining room offers an additional fireplace and access to an enclosed, heated porch overlooking the grounds. Deep windowsills and other period details provide glimpses of the home's past.
The updated kitchen features cherry cabinetry extending to the ceiling with crown molding, granite countertops, a center island with seating, gas cooking, dishwasher, microwave, and access to a back staircase. A powder room completes the first floor.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including the primary bedroom, and a hall bathroom. A walk-up third-floor attic provides additional storage, while the unfinished basement includes the laundry area and space for storage.
The level backyard offers room for outdoor enjoyment and includes an old garden shed that has been converted into an observatory, providing 360-degree views for telescope use. Additional features include a private driveway, whole-house generator, and original gas lamps converted to electric.
While the home offers an interesting history and several distinctive features, it also presents an opportunity for a new owner to make improvements and bring their own vision to the property. Located in the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District, with downtown Berwyn, local restaurants, shops, and the train station just a short walk away, this is a property offering history, location, and potential in an established Main Line community.
