Escape the ordinary without leaving the city. Tucked at the end of a private, dead-end drive off School House Lane, this fully renovated carriage house is a rare, one-of-a-kind hideaway set on over one acre of beautiful wooded land. It's a charming farmhouse-style stone-and-stucco retreat with a statement red door,… Read More black-framed windows, and towering trees all around. You'll feel miles from it all, yet you're still in the city. The open-concept kitchen is a showstopper, made for gathering and for the chef who loves to entertain. It features built-in speakers, hand-poured concrete counters, a double Thermador gas oven, reclaimed wood shelving and ceiling, and a stunning yellow tile backsplash. An oversized island has seating for the whole crew, and a huge walk-in pantry sits beside the fridge. Beyond the kitchen, the first floor also features a flexible living and dining space, ready for your sectional and farmhouse table, as well as a welcoming mudroom with patterned tile and a large coat closet, a generous powder room finished in upcycled barn wood, a utility room, a large double closet, a built-in office nook, and smart storage for clutter-free living. Upstairs, the two-story vaulted family room is lined with windows that flood it with morning light, framed by exposed beams original to the house and a dramatic arched window. Three bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room branch off this space, as does a shaded stone patio. One bedroom is currently a home gym and could also be suitable as a nursery, playroom, or home office. The top floor is a true primary sanctuary. The original attic beams frame a luxurious suite with cathedral ceilings, arched windows, and built-in closets on both sides. The spa-inspired bath has a reclaimed barn wood accent wall, a freestanding soaking tub, a marble-topped double vanity, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a skylight. Thoughtful details are found throughout, and all interior systems have been updated since 2015. Outside, gather around the fire pit in your own private woodland clearing, collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop, and unwind with slow evenings and simple pleasures. Part modern farmhouse, part woodland cabin, and all character, this is a rare opportunity to own a private, country-style retreat within Philadelphia city limits.
