Description

Set on four private, peaceful acres in sought-after Glen Mills, 1554 Meadow Lane is a beautifully restored 1766 stone farmhouse that blends historic character with modern comfort Originally part of William Penn’s “First Purchasers” land grant (1681) and once part of a historically significant dairy farm operation in the tri-state area, the property carries deep roots in early American history while offering the space, privacy, and flexibility today’s buyers seek. Thoughtfully expanded through two additions (1970s and 2001), the home now offers 3,378 sq ft with a functional and flexible layout. The 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence showcases original plank flooring, exposed stonework, and three fireplaces, seamlessly paired with thoughtful updates including a renovated kitchen, new smart appliances, 3-zone mini-split system, PEX plumbing, updated electrical panel, and a smart hybrid heat pump water heater. The private two-story in-law addition with its own entrances, full kitchen, fireplace, spacious bedroom with En-Suite powder room, and a generous living area provides ideal flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, au pair quarters, or a dedicated home office. The land is where this property truly stands apart—open meadows, mature trees, producing apple and pear trees, edible berries, and wooded walking trails create a setting suited for homesteading, recreation, or a peaceful retreat. A stream and multiple natural springs enhance the wooded portion of the property and support a thriving ecosystem. The property is home to 85+ documented bird species along with deer, fox, and other wildlife. A rare spring-fed water system has reliably served the home for over 250 years, offering a unique sense of sustainability and connection to the land. An oversized two-car garage with electric provides ample space for storage, equipment, or workshop use. With potential for future subdivision (buyer to verify), the property offers both immediate lifestyle appeal and long-term flexibility. Located in the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, just 5 minutes from Ridley Creek State Park, minutes to Media, West Chester, and Newtown Square, and approximately 30 minutes to Philadelphia and Wilmington. A distinctive property where history, land, and modern living come together. Seller is a licensed Realtor® in Arizona.
