IMPORTANT UPDATE: An offer deadline has been set for Sunday, May 31 no later than 3 pm! The Sunday open house has been rescheduled to 11 am - 1 pm. What is the one thing you can't change about a home? The location! And that's what 533 Gulph Road has - a premier location in the top-rated Tredyffrin-Easttown School District, adjacent and backing to Valley Forge National Park with protected open space and beautiful views in every season. A beauty in the rough, this 4-to-5 bedroom home offers an estimated 3,000 square feet of above-grade living space, with great bones and room to grow into. You'll find a large kitchen with breakfast room, comfortable living and dining rooms, and a family room/den. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level and all four bedrooms. The third floor bonus room, with sweeping views of the park, works beautifully as a recreation space, home office, or 5th bedroom. A finished basement adds over 1,000 square feet more for everyday fun with family and friends. Outside, a screened and covered porch and a flagstone patio take full advantage of the setting. Additional features include a main floor laundry room and an oversized three-car garage with inside entry. This home needs some renovations, repairs and TLC to reach its full potential - but that's where the opportunity lies. The layout is generous, the spaces are well proportioned, and the setting is simply irreplaceable. Pre-listing home inspections have been completed. Bring your vision and your finishes, and create a home that's truly your own - in a location that no renovation budget could ever buy. 533 Gulph Road is waiting for its next chapter. Come see what's possible!

This unique "70s castle" is an incredible opportunity for the right buyer. Sitting right on the Wayne border, it features a gorgeous wooded lot that backs up directly to Valley Forge National Historic Park.
The Bones: Rock-solid structure and...
excellent, heavy-duty build.
The Condition: There is a checklist of aesthetic blemishes and minor items for a new owner to address.
The Verdict: Unbeatable location and privacy. If you want a character-rich retreat with high upside, this is a must-see.
One of the loveliest and most significant historic sites in the state is literally right in your backyard at 533 Gulph Road, where spectacular views of Valley Forge Park's natural beauty are seen from nearly every room.

Ideal layout for entertaining, and large windows everywhere to let the sunlight in. The foyer leads to the spacious fireside living room, and to the dining room, both with floor-to-ceiling windows. Long evenings with friends and family await! Next find the eat-in kitchen with granite topped center island, lots of storage, French doors to the back patio, and views to the park beyond, a perfect setting for breakfast in any season.
