Property Description

Welcome to 381 East Swedesford Road, a charming and historically significant single-family home in Tredyffrin Township. Built in 1871 as a township schoolhouse, this distinctive property has been thoughtfully converted into a one-bedroom residence that offers unparalleled Old World Charm and detailing. An extraordinary home where no detail has been overlooked. A three-season front porch with brick flooring sets the tone and leads into the grand living and dining area, highlighted by soaring ELEVEN foot high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with a colonial mantel and brick hearth. This is a versatile, open space. The owner’s bedroom features two walls of closet and windows with inside shutters and deep window sills. The eat-in kitchen offers knotty pine cabinetry and generous counter space. A full bathroom with a tiled shower is enhanced by a skylight that provides tremendous sun and light. A rear mudroom/vestibule connects directly to the oversized two-car garage and provides access to the finished lower level. The basement is a standout feature, showcasing exposed beams dating back over 150 years and a brick floor, heated by under-floor copper hot water radiation, sourced from Philadelphia. This level also includes a spacious laundry/storage room and a separate utility room. Set on a level one-acre lot with a circular driveway, the property also includes the original schoolhouse outhouse, adding to its unique provenance. Architectural details such as deep windowsills, period hardware, and original fixtures further distinguish the home. Whether you choose to reimagine the interior, expand the footprint, or enjoy it as it stands, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Located close to the King of Prussia Town Center, the Gateway Shopping Center, Valley Forge and Wilson Farm Parks and the shops, restaurants, and train lines of the Main Line. All of this within the top-ranked Tredyffrin-Easttown School District. This is it. This is the one. Welcome home!
