About this home
Welcome to “Oak Run” an exceptional property designed in 1937 by W. Pope Barney located in Springfield Township just minutes from Chestnut Hill. This traditional stone residence has a simple elegance that blends timeless character and scale with an open first floor plan and updates that appeal to the modern buyer. The home is clearly connected to the land; accessed down a long driveway, the 3.5 acre property is a storybook retreat with established perennial gardens, specimen trees, stone walls, patios, large grass vistas and a saltwater pool. Pulling into the stone driveway, you can enter the home through a charming covered porch or convenient mudroom tucked to the side of the kitchen. The front porch opens to the foyer and you are drawn into the living room and dining room with windows that flood the room with light and extensive views of the gardens, patios and pool. The original 1930’s charm remains preserving the home’s distinctive character including refinished hardwood floors, extensive restored millwork, built ins and wood burning fireplace. To the left is the butler’s pantry that opens to the charming country kitchen with wood and soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances and leads to the mudroom and door to the back patio connected to the dining room and living room. To the right of the living room is a family room and bathroom, that could also be used as a first floor bedroom or guest room. A cozy office with direct access to the 3 car garage completes the first floor. The second floor includes the large primary bedroom with walk in closet and balcony, two additional bedrooms, two updated bathrooms, convenient laundry room and a phenomenal bonus room, currently used as a family room and exercise room, that overlooks the back of the property with a large bay of windows. Excellent closet space abounds. The home has updated systems including a newer roof, updated wiring, replacement windows throughout and a geothermal HVAC providing modern efficiency. Outside, the property is a private escape highlighted by the new saltwater pool with hot tub and pool bar, perfect for summer gatherings, relaxing afternoons, and entertaining friends. Enjoy all the best this area has to offer, including easy access to the PA turnpike, 309, SEPTA train lines, and local dining and shopping in Flourtown, Chestnut Hill, Wyndmoor and Ambler.

Beautifully renovated country house just 5 minutes to Chestnut Hill. Designed in 1937, by W. Pope Barney, "Oak Run" is a quietly elegant property that speaks to a 21st century buyer. The house offers an open space plan, simple efficiency, and a sense that one is living at one with the planet. In 2012, the current home owner completed a spectacular restoration; including a geothermal HVAC system with three zones, new electric, renovated bathrooms, modernized kitchen, restored millwork and windows, and custom-built garage doors. Sited well off the road, the 3.5 acre property is a refuge of beauty and peace. Close to the house bloom perennial gardens with flowers and greenery spilling over garden walls. Beautiful level, grassy areas lie beyond the gardens and specimen trees (including a magnificent copper beech) dot the bucolic landscape. The house is clearly married to the land. As you walk into the entry hall you can see the gardens off the rear of the house. From every restored window there are vistas of the landscape . The open plan, with a living and dining great room was so bold for 1937. Today, it is the way everyone wants to live! As you approach the front door, protected by a covered porch, the expansive three-car garage is to your right, and the kitchen/mudroom door is to your left. You enter the house into a welcoming foyer with closets and storage. Double doors, which would likely remain open most of the time separate the foyer from the great room, with a beautiful stone fireplace, built in bookcases, and windows everywhere. To the left of the foyer is the kitchen and butler's pantry, sensitively updated in keeping with the house. There is a den on the first floor that could be used as a bedroom, but has now been incorporated into the main living area. The first floor is completed with a full bath and office/library. The second floor houses three bedrooms, two baths, an upstairs laundry room, and a stunning artist's studio that begs the imagination. The current owner captured space to make a walk-in closet in the master. There is plenty of storage upstairs and down; and the three car garage offers space for cars and equipment that supports the "country" lifestyle. A more idyllic setting and prettier house would be hard to find.
