Listing description

Proudly introducing Shireford, a truly extraordinary estate nestled in a coveted Chester Springs setting, where privacy, scenic beauty, and timeless Chester County character converge. Encompassing over 21 breathtaking acres across four separately deeded parcels, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy estate of exceptional scale, quality, and versatility. Arrival at formal gated entry framed by magnificent shrub beds and seasonal flowers and with first sighting of main house at a prominent elevation constructed of enduring solid brick masonry, the nearly 6,000-square-foot residence showcases enduring craftsmanship, architectural distinction, and a level of quality seldom found in today’s newer homes. A grand two-story foyer adorned with lustrous marble flooring and a spectacular Schonbek crystal chandelier sets the tone for the elegance that unfolds throughout. Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home features a dramatic sunlit two-story great room highlighted by custom oak millwork and a large wood-burning fireplace. The impressive two-story dining room, illuminated by a stunning Fine Art chandelier and opening to a private patio, creates an unforgettable setting for hosting family and friends. At the heart of the home, the inviting island kitchen is appointed with custom wood cabinetry and a charming wood burning fireside gathering area, seamlessly flowing into the cozy family room anchored by a handsome stone fireplace. A private first-floor ensuite provides flexible accommodations for guests or multigenerational living, while the oversized executive office/library with custom oak built-ins offers an inspiring work-from-home environment. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a beautifully appointed bath and expansive dressing area. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a bright natural lighted office complete the upper level, including an oversized guest suite with a private bath. A convenient second-floor laundry room adds to the home’s thoughtful design. Beyond the residence, the estate’s outdoor amenities are equally impressive. Enjoy summer days by the resort-style inground pool with raised jacuzzi and one-meter competitive diving board, complemented by a fully equipped pool house with kitchen, expansive covered entertaining area, bathroom facilities, changing rooms and a stunning large separate eating area with an oversized stone Rumford wood burning fireplace, plus a built-in cooktop complete the pool setting complex. An attached two car garage and a detached four-car garage with carriage house provides endless possibilities for guests, hobbies, collections, or future customization. With its unparalleled acreage and landscape maturity and boasting an approximate 240 large evergreens (majority in excess of 50 feet), separately deeded parcels, exceptional amenities, and premier Chester Springs location, Shireford represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Chester County’s most distinguished estates. A property of this caliber is truly beyond compare.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $338,470, well below the ~$1,437,260 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $45,626/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($338,470, 1998 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 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester 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.
