Every once in a while, a truly special and well loved property comes on the market, and this is one of them. A rare and extraordinary blend of mid century architectural history and modern luxury, this authentic 1940s stone and stucco estate sits on a secluded 4.65 acre wooded lot on exquisite New Darlington Rd. in Middletown Township. The residence is a masterclass in early Organic Modern design, where natural fieldstone masonry, soaring sloped wood beam ceilings, and glass filled living spaces celebrate the surrounding landscape. Beyond its architectural pedigree, the property offers a unique two home compound configuration and significant investment potential as a potentially subdividable lot. The journey begins along a private circular driveway framed by mature landscaping. Spanning a sprawling single story footprint, the Principal Residence welcomes you home via a charming slate patio and into a wide, bright foyer complete with custom built in benches and cubbies, a thoughtful touch for modern organization. The heart of the home is a dramatic sunken living room anchored by a substantial fieldstone fireplace. Soaring wood beam ceilings and sky lit interiors create an atmosphere of light and air, while a dedicated sunroom atrium seamlessly brings the outdoors in. The modern kitchen with a breakfast bar serves as a bright, airy workspace, connecting to a large dining area perfectly positioned within the open floor plan, featuring walls of windows, tall ceilings, and serene views. Classic parquet floors guide you to the bedroom wing of the home. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a large closet and access to its own private slate patio. It features a gorgeous, spa like en suite bathroom with dual sinks, an oversized walk in shower, abundant cabinetry, and natural light. Two additional well proportioned bedrooms, one with expansive custom built ins, are served by two beautifully updated full baths. For those seeking extra space, two additional flexible rooms, currently used as a dedicated home office and a cozy den, offer the versatility to serve as additional bedrooms. A first floor laundry room and a massive walk in pantry complete the main floor, while the full basement provides a blank canvas for future expansion, including a large cedar closet. Perfect for morning coffee and evening entertainment, the rear of the home boasts a handsome and expansive multi-level Trex deck with sophisticated black railings, overlooking professionally landscaped grounds and serene, wooded views. Slate walkways meander around the home, showcasing beautiful plantings at every turn. The second residence is equally remarkable, offering ultimate flexibility as a guest house, in law/ nanny/adult child suite, home office space, creative studio, or a potential income producing rental. This structure houses the original oversized two car garage and an additional third bay currently utilized as a workshop. The first floor includes a finished recreation room, a half bath, and a laundry room opening to a paver patio. The entire second level consists of a bright, self contained apartment featuring a large living area, a full kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large deck overlooking the property with plenty of parking. The entire property offers the ideal combination of open green spaces for play, wooded areas for privacy, and paved sections for vehicles. Whether you are drawn to the architectural character, the smart updates, the expansive private acreage, the unique ability to have two separate residences, or the possibility for further subdivision and income production, this estate represents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in the Rose Tree Media School District near Sleighton Park, Darlington Trail, and vibrant downtown Media, that simply cannot be replicated.
