**This property consists of two living structures: The main house has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms. The carriage house has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.** Nestled along the landscape connecting Bryn Athyn and Lower Moreland, 1437 Byberry Road stands as a surviving example of early Pennsylvania farm architecture. Believed to have been constructed in the early 1700s, this 18th-century fieldstone farmhouse reflects the craftsmanship and rural character of the region’s earliest settlers. Its thick stone walls, hand-hewn beams, and traditional layout speak to a time when homes were built with both practicality and permanence in mind. The property was once part of a much larger tract of fertile farmland that supported orchards, vineyards, and mixed agriculture, a pattern deeply rooted in the agrarian history of Lower Moreland and the surrounding Bryn Athyn area. Early accounts of life on nearby farms, including those referenced in regional historical writings, describe a landscape of rolling fields, fruit trees, and working homesteads that formed the backbone of the community’s economy and culture. For over 40 years, the home has been lovingly cared for by its current residents, who approached every renovation with a deep respect for the property’s heritage. Their work focused on exposing the natural beauty of the original stone and timber, preserving historic character while thoughtfully integrating modern comforts. The result is a home that feels both timeless and welcoming. A place where centuries-old craftsmanship meets contemporary living in a way that honors the past without sacrificing convenience. The property is accessed by way of a horseshoe driveway that wraps around the back of the main house (the left driveway from the curb is private and the right side is shared with houses located behind), allowing easy access in and out. As you step into the home off the back door, you’ll find a large family room area with exposed stone walls and loads of natural light – this space was formerly used as a home office. This room leads to the large and expanded eat-in country kitchen with an oversized island, plenty of cabinet space, and a powder room. Towards the front of the house is the original structure, and here you will find a fireplace in the dining room and living room, both with gas log sets which heat this entire section of the home. On the second floor are two bedrooms, a full bathroom with soaking tub and stall shower, and laundry room. The third floor features a third bedroom and walk-in attic space for storage. In the late 19th century, a carriage house was added to the property. This structure, too, was built with the same attention to durability and function, complementing the original farmhouse. Today, it consists of several garage and storage bays at its ground level and on the second floor is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment with a fireplace in the living room, vaulted ceilings, and a deck that overlooks the fenced-in back yard pool area. Out back you’ll find your own summer oasis in the fenced in backyard area which has a heated in-ground pool and hot tub. Just down the road you’ll find access to the Pennypack Rail Trail which provides miles of shaded gravel trail for biking, running or walking through nature, and a short distance from that is Upper Moreland’s Mason Mill Park. For those who value authenticity, heritage, and the quiet dignity of a home that has stood for more than three centuries, this property offers something truly exceptional. Come visit 1437 Byberry Road, find your way home, and begin to write the story of this beautiful property’s next chapter.
