743 Beechwood Rd, Havertown, PA 19083

* Please do not walk the property without a confirmed appointment - thank you! Havertown's historic Beechwood estate dates from 1750 was originally comprised of an inn, a barn, and 5 spring houses. 743 Beechwood Road was converted to a house from the original working barn of the estate in 1860; the house is built on the barn's original stone foundation. Lovingly restored by its current owners, it now offers the warmth and charm of the original farmhouse, but with all of the amenities today's buyers expect. From the elegant wrap-round porch you'll enter a large foyer featuring the house's original millwork and a turned staircase. On the main level you'll find a spacious kitchen/dining space (comprised of the original kitchen and separate dining room) complete with stainless steel appliances, island, and hickory cabinets. Random-width floors were salvaged during the house's renovation, and they add a charming touch, as does the working wood-burning stove. Living room with large bay window and window seat plus brick gas fireplace, plus the parlor/family room with quarter-cut oak panels provide plenty of space to relax or socialize. Mudroom off the kitchen leads to steps to the fenced-in portion of the yard. On the other side of the kitchen is the door to the deck overlooking the beautiful lot that features perennial flowers and plantings as well as a stocked fish pond and waterfall. Second level offers a bedroom suite with large walk-in closet and ensuite bath with dual bowl sinks and double shower. A second bedroom and hall bath complete the second floor. A third bedroom is on the third level. Lower level features the original stone foundation and includes a large storage room, a laundry room, and a bonus room (currently set up as a gym, but could be used as an office or a 4th bedroom. Property is filled with perennial flowers and plantings - check out the pictures of the flowers and the fishpond which were taken last summer. This one-of-a-kind house is situated in the Beechwood section of Havertown, which offers a number of neighborhood activities throughout the year. Convenient to shopping, schools, commuting routes. A quick walk to Karakung Trail. Houses like this don't come along very often - make sure you don't miss this one!
