Description
Historic Hilltop Retreat – Charm, Privacy & Entertainment Space! Experience one of Montgomery County’s most distinctive homes — a historic hilltop retreat once dubbed “Best American Home Venue” by Peter Stone Brown of Rolling Stone Magazine. Many concerts were held in this back yard! Built in 1739, this property offers unmatched privacy, charm, and entertainment value with spectacular views and incredible outdoor amenities. Enjoy a “microclimate” backyard oasis featuring a stage, fire pit, giant hot tub, koi pond, outdoor kitchen, deck, patio, bocce court, putting green with sand trap, grotto, and root cellar — perfect for gatherings, concerts, or quiet relaxation. Inside, timeless architectural details include exposed stone walls, spiral stairs, wood beams, and fireplaces, all enhanced by GeoSmart “Ancient Wisdom” construction. Located in a clean, walkable neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, major highways (76, 476, Turnpike), shopping (KOP, Plymouth Meeting, Main Line), and top-rated schools. Just 16 miles from Center City Philly, with nearby restaurants, parks, and live music venues. Low taxes, wildlife-friendly surroundings, and rich local history — rumored visits by James Monroe and George Washington — make this property truly one-of-a-kind. Why so cheap? This home needs some TLC throughout and is being sold As-Is. This is an amazing opportunity for some lucky buyer to customize or restore this historic gem. If you look at comparable sales in the area, you'll easily see this home is an absolute steal! Perfect for buyers seeking character and potential in a one-of-a-kind setting!
