You will fall in love with this Radnor Township home! Possibly the oldest original Toll House in America that was built in the late 1700s. Its walls have housed everybody from a milk farmer to a major Hollywood family. Bursting with history and charm, this home sits on nearly half an acre of paradise, having been bountifully landscaped by the current owners. In addition to colorful bursts of gardens, the home is chock full of blooming trees. An excavated cold house makes for a sunny patio, and a small double goat-barn remains serviceable. The property boasts a fresh-spring stream and fruit-bearing bushes and trees: apples, blueberries, grapes, peaches, pecans, raspberries, strawberries and a vegetable garden. From a cobble-framed driveway, a winding pebble path leads over a quaint bridge to the side porch. From here, enter the dining room with a large closet. Turn into the open kitchen-living room area which has a pantry space and an adorable half bath. There is one bedroom on the main level. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms and an unexpectedly spacious bathroom that includes a whirlpool tub. There is a hidden carpeted nook that has many uses behind one bedroom. In addition, there are two carpeted attic rooms for clean storage. The exterior is board and batten. Newer roof, large stone placements, french drain installation throughout the grounds, and extensive landscaping are some of the enhancements. Truly one-of-a-kind! Unkefer park next door. Austin and Ashbridge Parks are nearby, the latter offering a delightful playground and free tennis courts. Very close to Rosemont College and Villanova University. Walk to the train, downtown Bryn Mawr, and very accessible to all major roadways. All of this located in the award winning Radnor Township School District.
