Welcome to 62 Barr, an impressive stone manor home set on 3.2 picturesque acres in the Radnor Hunt neighborhood of Willistown! Custom-built by esteemed Main Line builder E. B. Mahoney, this stately four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home was constructed to last and has been meticulously maintained by its original owners. The breathtaking exterior boasts a stone façade, brick chimneys, and an expansive fieldstone terrace featuring custom iron railings where you can enjoy your park-like setting. Located in idyllic Willistown Township among Radnor Hunt, White Manor, Applebrook, and Waynesborough Country Clubs, this location perfectly balances the tranquility of Chester County and the accessibility of the Main Line.
This custom-built stone home is set on a private three-acre wooded lot surrounded by nature. The charm of this home is found in the front-to-back design; its spacious entry hall leads to French doors that open to the fieldstone terrace. The nine-foot ceilings, elegant millwork, arched entryways, and gleaming Brazilian cherry hardwood floors invoke a timelessness. The living and dining rooms are the ideal spaces for entertaining guests: perfect for everything from formal hosting to everyday enjoyment. Continue into the kitchen, which boasts ample custom cabinetry, a large center island, and a restaurant-style Wolf range with six burners: truly a home chef’s dream! The breakfast room and family room both enjoy plenty of sunlight and tranquil views thanks to their proximity to the rear terrace. The family room features a hearth-to-ceiling stone fireplace, built-in shelves, a beamed ceiling, and access to a quaint, covered porch, perfect for taking in the view. From here, head into the study, with a fireplace and wood accents throughout, creating a warm ambiance. For health and relaxation, French doors off the foyer lead to a light-filled garden room with heated floors and an exercise pool.
The large three-car garage, accessed through the mudroom, includes a bonus half bath and utility sink. The laundry room is conveniently located in the hall by the back stairs that lead to the second floor. A closet space located in the hall was included to house an elevator in the future.
On the second floor, you will find the primary suite. As you enter through the sitting area, you will immediately notice the beautiful arched window with a view of the private wooded setting. This serene retreat includes a spacious bedroom with a high ceiling and French doors leading to a Juliet balcony. The suite includes two walk-in closets, a large spa-like bathroom with a steam shower, and a soaking tub. A perfect family home, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and two additional bathrooms along the classic arched hall of the second floor. An unfinished space above the garage could become a studio, au pair space, homework, or craft room. The end of the hall has a staircase to the first level and walk-up access to a floored attic for storage. Finally, the lower level has a partially finished walkout basement. Double doors lead to the side yard and provide natural light and an egress; there’s more than enough space for additional rooms here as well to create an art studio, home gym, bar area, or fifth bedroom.
The true gem of this home is its setting in the highly-sought after Radnor Hunt neighborhood of Willistown Township: natural, tranquil, and private, while still convenient to the bustling town of Malvern as well as the rest of the Main Line. Enjoy access to award-winning Great Valley school district and convenient commuter options, including the Malvern and Paoli train station, with direct access to Center City Philadelphia via the Regional Rail and New York City via Amtrak. You’re never far from green space, with plenty of parks and open space in Willistown Township, as well as unbeatable access to several distinguished country clubs, including White Manor, Applebrook, Waynesborough, and, of course, Radnor Hunt Club.
