Be ready to be inspired! Crumwald Farm is an extraordinary family estate for multi-generation use, and so much more. The primary house and outbuildings are sitting on 11+ acres nestled in the Wallingford/Swarthmore community. Crumwald Farm is one of the very few residentially-zoned large open spaces left in the area. The primary home boasts living spaces that retain historic features and charm. In addition to the primary house, the property listing includes a 5 bedroom 2 bath guest house, a multi-bay detached garage, a barn with horse stables, and a swimming pool. Crumwald Farm’s location and proximity to Crum Creek and the surrounding woods provides a natural setting that is beautiful and also ecologically significant. The primary house is an exceptional example of the Colonial Revival style. It was designed and built in 1927 by R. Brognard Okie, who is regarded as one of America's preeminent domestic architects. Okie's famous design style pays homage to the colonial farmhouse architectural style and re-creates the original detail found in many southeastern Pennsylvania colonial properties. The primary house on Crumwald Farm has the hallmarks admired in Oakie-designed buildings. The home relies on well-constructed architecture of fieldstone and wood highlighted with hand-crafted decorative details. The design incorporates multiple wings, large stone chimneys, varied rooflines with a row of upstairs windows inset as wall dormers. Inside the home you will find wide, handcrafted wood plank floors, intricately detailed fireplace mantels and stair rails, hand-wrought hardware on doors and windows, and plastered walls. The interior is elegantly designed with a grand foyer and a sweeping staircase. The living room was created to impress and entertain. A magnificent fireplace with an intricately carved mantel welcomes you into the room and the six-over-nine double hung windows bring an abundance of natural light. The original old-growth hardwood floors are showstoppers, with hand-scraped edges that are set in a random width pattern throughout the house. The large classic dining room is perfect for a gracious, formal dinner or a holiday celebration. It has a wood burning fireplace and a built-in hutch with arched glass panel doors. On the main floor you will also find a cozy family room with a walk-in hearth reminiscent of the old colonial kitchens. This room has built-in bookcases lining one wall, perfect to showcase your family photos, collectibles, favorite books, and treasures. Off the family room is an ample and welcoming enclosed porch overlooking the extensive grounds. The large kitchen space is ready to be transformed into a fabulous gourmet kitchen. The upper floors of the main house have a total of seven bedrooms, six full baths, and a delightful sun parlor. At the back of the house a perfectly positioned stone patio provides the ideal place for outdoor entertainment. Throughout the house and at every turn, you will experience the quality of a handbuilt home from an earlier time. Okie paid particular attention to the selection of the site where he placed his buildings. He studied and admired the judgment and artistic sense that early builders used in placing homes and out-buildings. He would look for the natural way buildings would fit the ground and make sure that its proportions were appropriate for the setting. The placement of each door and window was done with this in mind. Crumwald Farm provides many dramatic features in the landscape, with towering trees, distant views and rhythmic planting that draws the eye. The location of the Crumwald house is a testament to Okie's appreciation of building a home that is suitable to its surroundings. The house is uniquely preserved and ready to be transformed by a new owner who admires exceptional craftsmanship. A deed restriction limits the subdivision of this property to no more than two parcels.
