The story of this historic house begins with the land it occupies. Once part of a thousand-acre William Penn land grant, circa 1682, the property was subdivided down through the ages, passing from family to family, every transaction recorded and several of the names prominent in Chester County history. Today, the original house, built by the Mendenhall family in 1839, includes three acres and enough recreational space to suggest a country resort. Think private paradise with a salt water swimming pool. Imagine a wonderful family compound secluded in a setting that feels rural but is a mere 15 minutes from downtown Wilmington, 35 minutes from the Philadelphia airport. The current owners have been excellent stewards of the property for more than 35 years. Any changes and updates to Olde Farm have been carefully considered and professionally designed, with an eye to maintaining the character and the history that define this old house. The end result is living space that balances architectural drama in the kitchen/family room with intimate common living areas that are original in size and character. Some historic elements have been added. Both the family room fireplace and the front door came from an historic house in Philadelphia. Also original are the three staircases and a meandering floorplan that includes hidden spaces, one a perfect private office on the second floor. Bedrooms are spacious and sunny; bathrooms are all tastefully updated. The primary bedroom introduces luxury wrapped in historic charm, and the enormous third floor is more apartment than bedroom---very private, with vaulted ceiling and broad, almost floor-to-ceiling gothic windows open to views of mature trees and manicured grounds. That view takes in the original barn, restored as a party barn with a full bath and a kitchenette. In addition to a separate two-car garage, the barn also has parking for two cars. Just as with the house, almost all the barnwood is original, a testament to the endurance of the construction and the quality of the materials. And to the amazement of the architect who designed the new kitchen/family room addition, the original house is still plumb. As anyone with experience in historic restoration will confirm, that is indeed phenomenal. Years ago, the current owners fell in love with this property at first sight. It’s a good bet that the next owner will, too.
