About this home
Welcome to "Beakes Land" at 1205 Valley Road, a spectacular William Penn land-grant estate in Glen Mills where three and a quarter centuries of American history meet modern luxury living. Set on 2.2 private acres of picturesque Pennsylvania countryside, this gracious, light-filled 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath stucco-over-stone residence blends timeless 17th- and 19th-century character with contemporary comfort and flexible living spaces for today's lifestyle. Meticulous renovations by Archer & Buchanan Architecture with J. Donovan Construction retained historic integrity throughout, including remarkably thick stone walls, deep window sills, custom molding, and the original 1696 hearth, while thoughtfully integrating modern amenities, including radiant heated Tasmanian oak floors, central AC, and business-grade technology infrastructure. Solar panels and EV charging complete the picture. From the moment you arrive along the winding driveway, mature trees, beautiful landscaping, the covered front porch with swing, and charming barn call you to serenity. The feeling continues within the home’s airy, open first level. The spacious living room features prodigious natural light, wall-to-wall Berber carpeting, and a custom built-in desk with cabinetry. Glass French doors open to the dining area, where sun streams through oversized bay windows offering views of the grounds and access to the fieldstone-walled bluestone patio with oversized concrete sink. Anchored by the original stone fireplace, the adjoining gourmet kitchen boasts custom cherry cabinetry with floor-to-ceiling pantry, honed granite countertops, a soapstone farmhouse sink, deep window seats, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and gas cooktop – a space both architecturally beautiful and functional. Beyond, a vaulted family room addition provides a powder room, laundry facilities, and a sunny living space with built-in bookshelves and Putnam rolling ladder, with French doors opening to the patio and lush courtyard garden, an exquisite setting for entertaining and relaxation. Up one level are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with a well-outfitted walk-in closet, a radiant-heated en-suite bathroom, and French door access to the rear yard. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, one with a playful hideaway, share a well-appointed radiant-heated hall bathroom. The third floor presents two more bedrooms with charming dormer ceilings, one with a private en-suite bathroom, and the second currently used as a recreation room. It’s an ideal quiet retreat for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. Outside, the property unfolds as a private sanctuary. The grounds feature classic outbuildings, including a traditional two-story fieldstone and board-and-batten bank barn offering endless possibilities, whether reimagined as a party barn, studio, workshop, or guest suite. Tucked behind the barn is a gated raised-bed vegetable garden. A detached three-car Quaker meeting carriage house and paved forecourt afford ample parking. All are enveloped by lush gardens showcasing seasonal blooms, from winter's hellebores and fragrant paperbush, spring's lilacs and peonies, summer's clematis, iris and lavender, to fall's anemone, sedum and asters. The pear tree, espaliered along the barn front, offers year-round interest. Located within the award-winning Rose Tree Media School District, the property sits equidistant to the shops and fine dining of Media and West Chester, with convenient access to the Media/Wawa regional rail for an effortless commute to Philadelphia. Nature lovers will appreciate adjacent Ridley Creek State Park, Tyler Arboretum, Sleighton Park, and state-protected agricultural and game lands. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning on the covered porch or hosting gatherings on the expansive bluestone patio, "Beakes Land" is a living piece of American history, offering an unparalleled lifestyle where history began and your future awaits.
