27 Old Farm Ln

Malvern, PA 19355

Welcome to Green Lane Farm! Sited on a private 4.2 acre parcel of ground, this amazing Pennsylvania Dutch stone farmhouse has been completely restored & expanded within the past 20 years. Tucked away from the crowds, the property is surrounded by other estate sized properties and horse farms yet is only 5 minutes from access to Route 202 for easy commuting north or south. Originally constructed by George C. Clemens in 1789 as the primary home of a 112 acre working orchard & farm, the home has been expanded in 3 distinct phases. The original portion now comprises one large open-plan living/dining room on the first floor with a new wood stove inset into the former hearth. On the 2nd floor is a private guest bedroom & hall bath while another bedroom & en-suite bath is on the 3rd floor. The 2nd addition from the 1820's added an entry foyer (now with a powder room & coat closet) on the 1st floor & what is now another home office on the 2nd floor. The kitchen addition was constructed in the 1930's with another guest bedroom & hall bathroom above. The current owners undertook a massive restoration & expansion of the property in 2003 to combine all of the historic elements with today's modern needs. Over 2,200 SF of additional living space was added to the house that incorporated a large family room with a wood burning fireplace, a home office, full bathroom, laundry and an attached 2-car garage on the first floor. The rear wall of the kitchen was removed to provide one large entertaining space with direct access to the rear patio and yard. A small covered porch is just off the laundry. The second floor of the addition is the primary suite that incorporates two large walk-in closets, a walk-in linen closet and a primary bathroom that includes a private toilet room, two separate vanities, a walk-in shower and a slipper tub. The kitchen was also completely remodeled at this time and provides an abundance of storage solutions, from the massive double-sided island to the two pantry closets and all of the cabinets that flank three of the walls. The kitchen sink overlooks the front yard and there is a Bosch dishwasher. A 36 Bluestar professional stove anchors the north wall. A Subzero fridge is tucked into one corner, while a 2nd Heartland fridge is located on the western wall. A built-in Gaggenau microwave is located next to the 2nd fridge. Even with all of the various storage solutions, there is also room for a large farmhouse table that can accommodate 8 seated for casual meals. The open plan concept of the home office could be another dining area, but it sure is a great place to work, with the best view from the house out to the pond beyond. The basement within the 2003 addition was plumbed for a bathroom if needed in the future. A significant portion of the rear yard has been fenced. The house's primary roof was replaced in 2016, as was the addition of a standing seam copper roof on the porch. A new septic system was installed in 2018. All of the 3rd floor dormer windows were replaced in 2009, while 2 additional windows on the 2nd floor over the kitchen were replaced in 2018. The remaining original windows in the older portion of the house were completely stripped and resealed in 2002. The systems were designed for energy efficiency with 7 heating zones, and 5 air conditioning zones. One can easily adjust the temps in portions of the house when not in use. In addition to the attached 2-car garage, the detached garage can accommodate an additional 4 vehicles. The current owner is using this space as a woodshop, yet all of the equipment and workbenches will be removed. There is also a wood burning stove in this garage and a large pull-down staircase/ladder to access the 2nd floor where there is additional storage space with a rear door to the yard. Attached to the side of the garage is another workshop area. Come explore Green Lane Farm, you will fall in love with the perfect combination of historic charm and modern amenities.
