Welcome to 932 Hagys Ford Rd, one of the original properties in tranquil Penn Valley and a tasteful blend of the old and new. One of the largest lots in the neighborhood, it features a combination of mature foliage and newer specimen plantings to create a bucolic space for private living and indoor/outdoor entertaining. Nature envelopes the house, pool, and pool house to give the backyard the feeling of an arboretum.
The driveway affords plenty of off-street parking for holiday parties and summer barbeques. A recently refinished, spacious garage shelters two cars and boasts a room above that has been used at different times for home office, kids playroom, exercise, and gaming room.
The first floor welcomes with custom Arizona tile and new hardwood floors. This floor and its bar/kitchen area was expertly renovated by Gardner Fox in 2016. The long row of windows allows afternoon sunlight to highlight the hand-painted mural art by a local Philadelphia area artist. The back door opens onto a quartzite patio and you are in the middle of nature. A newly renovated pool house offers a pavilion for hosting outdoor events such as pool parties and barbeques during the summer season. The electric heat and fireplace make it a comfortable guesthouse and man cave/she shed during the off-season. The pool house windows and sliding door open onto a beautifully renovated pool deck and pool, the perfect place for summer fun.
The kitchen boasts premium omega and black galaxy granites, custom cabinets, and Thermador appliances. Off the kitchen, the powder room includes a marble floor, exquisite wall tile, artisanal sink, and vanity custom-made with wood salvaged from historic Brewery Town Philadelphia. A charming dining room and sitting room include custom embroidered window treatments by Sheffields, historic fireplaces, and another gorgeous hand-painted mural. Upstairs, the two sleeping floors offer six bedrooms and three full baths. Two bedrooms are configured as primary suites and the smaller one was used most recently as an office with built-in shelving. Large windows offer views of the backyard and pool deck, while mostly obstructing street view, making this a very private estate.
This special home has been lovingly maintained and invested in by its current and prior owners with significant investments, both indoors and out, over the last 30 years.
