Welcome to 603 West Hartwell Lane. In the late 1700s, when Chestnut Hill was still many country miles outside of Philadelphia, a single-room-deep stone farmhouse was built in a valley where coldwater streams laced the forest floor. More than 200 years later, that simple stone house was seamlessly expanded by architect Peter Zimmerman into the best possible version of a classic Chestnut Hill stone home. Working with the terrain, Zimmerman created additions that blend organically into this most picturesque of settings. Beyond the immaculate parking courtyard and discreet navy blue main entry door lies a sophisticated, state-of-the-art residence. Beautifully designed for entertaining and daily living, the interior is a masterclass in color and pattern, infused with natural light and fresh energy unlike any other home in this sedate corner of Philadelphia. Interiors flow into outdoor garden “rooms,” each with a completely different feeling. Great care and much thought went into every space, from its reception area to the kitchen to its gathering spaces and private quarters upstairs. The house was completely gutted to incorporate all modern technological conveniences and amenities, including adaptive and remote lighting, temperature and security controls. Interior spaces were modernized and reorganized to accommodate lifestyle and entertaining requirements. This level of planning has resulted in a home that is aesthetically stunning and also easier to maintain and manage. The new site plan, which includes a pool, allows for sweeping views of the upper portion of the property as well as long vistas from nearly all of the interiors. As it flowed hundreds of years ago, the babbling brook is still there, well managed thanks to smart site engineering, flowing into and then out of a renovated spring house into a large pond at the end of the property. A grass-covered stone walking bridge opens each side of the pond for long strolls around the property, creating the finishing touch to this private world that feels light years away from the city.

Savor the quiet privacy, abundant space and boundless outdoor enjoyment that only country living can offer here at this 31-acre Hopewell Valley property, where a gracious home with grandly scaled rooms is the crown jewel. Nearby, but completely separate, a 4-bay garage is a dream come true for car enthusiasts, as well as anyone who needs dedicated space for a hobby. In the distance, beyond walled gardens, relaid stone patios and the freshly paved driveway, a barn opens the door to even more new pursuits. To make the country estate experience complete, there’s a designated area reserved for a future pool and cabana. A new cedar shake roof caps the enlarged and carefully maintained house, fitted with many new windows and full of one-of-a-kind spaces to please every member of even the largest household. A cathedral great room with a massive stone fireplace flows into an equally airy casual dining space, inviting everyone to gather together. With a sunny circular breakfast bay, the kitchen is also sized for a crowd. The floor plan includes plenty of areas that easily evolve with an ever-changing lifestyle, including a skylit playroom that can serve as an office and a pub-like library that enthralls all who enter. The elegant living room, along with a sunroom lined with French doors, could be reimagined as a restful and romantic first floor primary suite. To supplement the home’s original comfortably sized bedrooms, a separate multi-room wing privately hosts holiday guests or a very lucky au pair. Set up your gym in the finished basement or claim the adjoining cottage as a space devoted to wellness. There’s no limit to the flexibility or the opportunities for personalization. A caretaker and a housekeeper, familiar with every inch of the home and grounds, are already in place, making the move and any potential renovations much easier. With a rich past and more space than ever imagined, both inside and out, this blissful bucolic property is a rare find and an exceptional value!
