House of the Week: Mid-Century Meets English Countryside

A very rare find - this week's House of the Week is an amazing combo of old-English stone and mid-century modern. On the Main Line. In an affordable price range. With a separate lot behind.... backing up to trails and open space....

If you aren't already hooked, just take a look for yourself...

136 Farwood in Wynnewood boasts 4 full bedrooms, 3 full baths, a half bath, a little over 2000 sq ft and a combined lot size of just under an acre.

A generous, but not wasteful, foyer makes for a bright, show-stopper entry that opens to the well-sized dining and living rooms.

An incredible flag-stone, screened-in porch makes for a great place to enjoy your additional acreage

The master bedroom is perfectly sized with a beautiful symmetry, arched entry way, and master bath.

Two other well-sized bedrooms are on the second floor with a semi-updated Jack-and-Jill bath.

If you've been thinking about making a move to the near-Main Line, this is a fantastic opportunity to own something unique and establish equity in a beautiful property.
