Listing description

A singular offering in the heart of Ardmore, this extraordinary Main Line residence is far more than a renovation—it is a masterful reinvention of a classic center-hall Colonial farmhouse, thoughtfully transformed for modern living while preserving the irreplaceable craftsmanship and architectural soul of another era. What distinguishes this home is not simply what was replaced, but what was painstakingly preserved. In an era when historic homes are often stripped to the studs and their character lost, this renovation took the opposite approach: original woodwork, beautifully detailed staircases and railings, hardwood floors, inlaid flooring, millwork, crown molding, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, stonework and other period details were carefully retained and restored at considerable expense. These are not reproductions, but authentic elements of the original residence, integrated into a comprehensive, no-compromise renovation. With the exception of the original exterior walls and foundation, virtually every major system has been renewed, including electrical, plumbing, 2-zone HVAC, hot water, windows, roofing, insulation and mechanicals—offering the rare combination of historic provenance and modern peace of mind. A gracious center hall introduces warm, light-filled interiors and remarkable craftsmanship. The expansive living room is anchored by the original stone fireplace, while the elegant dining room is enriched by intricate architectural detailing. The luminous sunroom juxtaposes walls of new windows with preserved original stone and a beadboard ceiling. At the rear, the floor plan has been reimagined for today's lifestyle with an expanded kitchen and adjoining family room. The kitchen features granite counters, a substantial peninsula, solid-wood cabinetry with over/under-cabinet lighting and GE matte slate stainless appliances. A powder room and flexible office/playroom complete the main level. The preserved staircase is an architectural statement in its own right, leading to a 2nd floor highlighted by an expansive primary suite with a large sitting/dressing room and en-suite marble bath with dual vanities. A 2nd oversized bedroom with its own full-size dressing room, new hall bath, laundry and bonus room complete this level. The 3rd floor offers four additional bedrooms and another new full bath, providing exceptional flexibility for guests, offices, fitness or creative space. Outside, an oversized detached 2-car garage and private driveway provide highly desirable off-street parking. Just moments from the heart of Ardmore, enjoy sidewalks to parks and playgrounds, Elwell Field, Normandy Park, tennis, Ardmore Community Center, Ardmore Library, Haverford College walking trails, Suburban Square, Carlino's, boutiques, cafés, restaurants and shopping. SEPTA Regional Rail and Amtrak offer convenient access to Center City and NYC. Located in sought-after Haverford Twp School District, this is a rare convergence of authentic old-world craftsmanship, virtually new infrastructure, generous scale and an exceptional Main Line location. Historic without feeling dated and sophisticated without feeling ostentatious, this is not a home modernized by erasing its past—it is a home whose past was respected, protected and beautifully woven into its future.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($732,310, 2021 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
