This delightful 1980 farmhouse located in the heart of the suburbs is the perfect choice for a family that enjoys the country lifestyle but not the remoteness that often accompanies it, writes Sandy Smith for Philadelphia Magazine.

Once part of a working farm, this beautiful stone home in Villanova at 526 Sproul Road is in the award-winning Radnor School District and just a short drive from shopping and dining in St. Davids and Wayne.

All the hardwood floors, fireplaces, wainscoting, crown moldings, and hidden cabinets are original and have been carefully preserved.

The old blends beautifully with the new with skylights, recessed lighting, modern bathroom and kitchen fixtures subtly present throughout.

The first floor features elegant living and dining rooms that have kept their Colonial charm.

The family room provides a more modern classic style with large windows and vaulted beam ceiling, while the vintage breakfast table and updated country cabinetry in the fully-equipped kitchen retains its rustic feel.

The house includes five bedrooms, with a bedroom suite on the first floor and a spacious master bedroom with a gorgeous tile bathroom and three more bedrooms on the second.

For outside entertaining, the back yard offers a two-level landscaped stone patio, crushed-rock terrace, and large lawn.

This beautiful single family house brokered by Fox & Roach is listed at $700,000.
