Property Description
Welcome to 155 Wyebrook Road, Elverson, PA. There are few words to adequately describe this magnificently enchanting home. The perfect combination of old meets new compliments the historic roots of the Franklin School built in 1887 and new fully renovated features throughout. The main floor features an open floor plan with 12 foot ceilings, amazing exposed stone walls, massive original posts and beams, many surfaces of repurposed wood from the building. The wall of new low-e windows bathes the first floor with natural light and embraces the nature of the outdoors. Turning toward the chef's kitchen area with a generous 4'x12' island that includes a sink and convenient under the counter refrigerator. The well appointed kitchen highlights an ILVE 48 inch Nostalgia dual fuel range featuring 7 sealed burners, griddle and 5 cu ft oven with a beautifully integrated ZLINE Range Hood. The abundance of cabinets and Frigidaire professional Series refrigerator and freezer are sure to provide plenty of storage for any event. Add to the ambiance of the first floor any time when you turn on the perfectly placed propane fireplace. The flow of the main floor feels natural with plenty of room to entertain or cozy enough to relax in solitude. Direct access to the deck further expands the main floor living space into outdoor living space. Access to the second floor is by the one of a kind stair tower that also has direct outdoor access. The second floor serves as the primary suite with features that are truly over the top. A spacious (9'x9') wet room with surrounds of original natural stone and walls of wonderfully repurposed slate that once served as blackboards in the school. The wet room features a soaking tub and 2 multi-jet shower units. The walk-through closet / dressing room features dual chandelier lighting and space for the well-dressed user. The primary bedroom area features the warmth of natural stone and full glass doors that pull the beauty of nature into the room and expands the view into the backyard. The second floor has 11' ceilings throughout. This floor also includes a second bedroom, a second full bath and a conveniently located laundry room with plenty of cabinets and an in counter stainless steel sink. The staircase to the leading to third floor includes reclaimed wood posts and beams that set the theme for the 3rd and 4th bedroom located there. The common area and 2 generously sized bedrooms and full bath contrast original exposed beams and freshly finished white walls.
Situated on approximately 1.6 acres of seldom traveled Wyebrook Road with mature trees and woodland view. The Franklin School was built in 1887 and operated as a school until 1966. Constructed in 1887 by the famous Potts family, the Franklin Public School served the community until 1970. According to the West Nantmeal Township Historic Commission, all eight grades met in the main level and the school was cited as having the largest rural school library in Chester County. The Wyebrook Grange, #1307 used the upper level from 1906 until 1927. When no longer used as a school, the building served as the home of the Wyebrook Missionary Baptist Church until their new church was completed. Converted to a residence, the house has been fully renovated as described above and is truly a showpiece.
All new energy efficient HVAC and low-e windows are sure to provide comfortable living throughout. Power outages are no problem with the propane fueled automatic generator. Qualified buyers are encouraged to schedule a showing and not miss the opportunity to own this special gem with every detail meticulously designed and executed.
