Discover a sublime combination of history, tranquility, and modern luxury in this magnificent 6-bedroom / 5-bathroom estate situated on nearly three scenic acres. This land was granted to the original owners by William Penn in circa 1700 and was formally known as the Mardon House in the 1800’s. This exceptional property located in Media, PA (Chester Heights Borough) spans over 5,000 square feet of versatile living quarters and business space. It served as a vacation home for the Wawa family in the early 1900’s, and in the mid 1900’s served as home to the Darlington Fine Arts Center and Ballet School. The home not only serves as a commodious residence but also accommodates an office space with an active variance permit. The grounds accommodate ample parking for 20 vehicles (-+) perfect for both residential and commercial needs. As if the above isn’t intriguing enough, this property is situated in the highly sought after and award-winning Garnet Valley School District. You will surely appreciate the preservation of much of the homes original character. Upon entrance you'll be greeted by stunning original hand-crafted inlay herringbone pattern wood flooring that enhances the homes rich history and tradition. Take note of the original custom trim work around deep windowsills and doors. The spacious kitchen features a cozy fireplace and access to the fully private backyard and patio, an expansive island and an amazingly beautiful original field stone wall. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious TV/playroom, offering an inviting atmosphere for gatherings. Additional noteworthy features include custom built-in bookcases, ample natural sunlight, generous walk-in closets, Thermopane windows, extensive storage solutions in both attic and basement areas, vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, spiral staircase, a total of three fireplaces, gorgeous landscape and hardscape. The hot water heating (Hydronic Heating System) promotes a comfortable environment for living and work and is separated by 4-zones with the option to add a fifth to attic spaces. The partially finished attic offers endless possibilities for customization, whether it be for additional storage or greater living space. Recent improvements include a brand new 12’x18 shed (installed 2023), new roof 50-Year warranty (installed in 2020), full unfinished yet recently waterproofed basement (2023), several new windows, skylights, renovated bathrooms, and new vinyl siding on the side of the home that houses the office space (2024). Commuting is incredibly convenient being near the Wawa Regional Rail Station, less than a 30-minute commute to the Philadelphia Int’l Airport, and easy access to major highways like the Blue Route (476) / I-95 and other local/interstate highways. This estate is a must see, whether you are captivated by the rich historical significance, or the endless potential for both living and business opportunities. It could be your dream come true!
