Perched atop a gentle hill with views of Little Crum Creek Park, this magnificent stone residence stands as an extraordinary testament to American craftsmanship. Built by local master stonemasons using hand-cut stone and finished with classic ribbon mortar pointing, this grand home is available for the first time in 47 years. Its elevated position-sitting 12 to 14 feet above street level-provides privacy and quietude. With four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and over 2,600 square feet of living space, this home is ready for a full renovation and has been priced accordingly. A walk-up attic offers an excellent potential for increasing the living space. The interior boasts a classic layout, beginning with an elegant entrance, a covered front porch, and a gracious vestibule. A wide entrance hall serves as the perfect gallery to greet guests, leading into a living room characterized by cross-beam ceilings and a large fireplace-ideal for entertaining. This space offers access to the large, original side-screened porch. The formal dining room, connected via the entrance hall, features an original pocket door and a charming built-in hutch. Nearby, a cozy library provides a quiet retreat with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a handsome corner fireplace. The kitchen, thoughtfully rebuilt in 2013, reflects the home's Arts and Crafts heritage, featuring handmade quarter-sawn oak cabinets and a backsplash adorned with vintage Philadelphia tiles. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sunlit breakfast room and a convenient powder room. The second floor is intelligently laid out with four well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Beautiful old-growth pine floors run throughout this level, recently refinished to showcase their rich, warm character. The expansive primary bedroom features four windows that flood the space with natural light and connects directly to a middle bedroom. The full bathroom includes a shower stall, a whirlpool tub, and a rare highlight: a two-piece designer suite. The pedestal sink and toilet, designed by Antonia Campi for Pozzi-Ginori of Milan, are highly sought-after collectibles. There were originally two second floor “outside porches.” One in the master bedroom over the side porch and the second one over the breakfast room. The original doors are still in place and can be seen from the outside. A two-car garage was added in the 1940s with direct access to the full basement. Important recent improvements to the house include refinished floors (2026), full house rewiring (2018), central air (2021), a newer roof (2012), stone repointing (2014), asbestos removal (2025), and a new furnace (2020). A full list of improvements is available upon request.
