Property Description
Set upon four tranquil acres in sought-after Glen Mills, 1554 Meadow Lane stands as a rare historic stone farmstead seamlessly reimagined for modern living.
This historic 1766 stone-core home sits on land documented as part of the William Penn “First Purchasers” patent, granted to Joseph Baker in 1681, when the region was still part of historic Chester County.
Located on 4 private acres, the grounds feature mature hardwoods and conifers, multiple varieties of producing apple and pear trees, as well as various edible berries. Rolling meadows and open usable land support homesteading, gardening, livestock, beekeeping, conservation, or private retreat living. The rear meadow is intentionally maintained as a pollinator habitat and active apiary.
The land includes wooded walking trails and multiple natural springs, including a rare armored spring system preserved in the basement, which has reliable supplied water to the home almost 260 years. A backup well exists but has not been needed, underscoring the resilience of the original water source. An abundant ecosystem thrives here, with 75+ documented bird species, deer, fox, and diverse wildlife.
Inside, the home retains meaningful traces of its 18th-century origins, including sections of original plank flooring, exposed stonework, fireplace, and preserved spring infrastructure--subtle but significant reminders of its early American craftsmanship and purpose.
Thoughtfully expanded through additions (approximately 1970 and 2000), the home now offers 3378 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 3 fireplaces (1 wood stove and 2 wood-burning masonry fireplaces). The two-story in-law style wing with separate entrances features a full kitchen, en suite bedroom, and private living area with fireplace--ideal for multi-generational living, an au pair/nanny suite, home office, or long-term accommodations.
Recent upgrades enhance efficiency and daily comfort, including a renovated main kitchen, new appliances in both kitchens (one with an induction stove), 3-zone mini-split, smart thermostats, NEST smoke and CO detectors, PEX plumbing, a new electrical panel, and a smart hybrid heat pump water heater.
An oversized two-car garage with electric provides exceptional space for storage, equipment, workshop use, or hobbies.
With township review, the acreage may also allow future subdivision potential (buyer to verify feasibility), providing long-term optionality and flexibility.
Located in the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, the property offers privacy without isolation--just minutes to West Chester and Media, and approximately 30 minutes to Philadelphia or Wilmington, with convenient access to dining, cultural destinations, parks, and major travel routes.
A unique offering blending historic character with modern comfort and flexibility in a private natural setting.
