Property details

About 1180 Radnor Hill Rd

Tucked away on just over an acre in Wayne, this hidden gem is believed to be Montgomery County’s oldest continuously lived-in home, dating back to 1648. But don’t let the age fool you—this one-of-a-kind residence has been thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle while preserving its rich history and undeniable charm. Step inside the original log cabin and you’re instantly transported. The heart of the home is a cozy, character-filled living room anchored by a massive stone fireplace, exposed beams, and wide-plank floors. Sunlight filters through storm-protected windows, casting a warm glow over the room’s beautifully preserved textures and details. Just beyond, the welcoming entry hall—with its vintage sconces and decorative fireplace—feels like stepping into a simpler, more elegant time. Through the glass-paneled door, a magical sun porch awaits. With its flagstone floor, stone half-walls, and wraparound windows, it’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, casual dinners, or evenings strung with fairy lights and filled with laughter. The bright, updated kitchen is as functional as it is charming. Crisp white cabinetry, dark granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a beadboard ceiling are complemented by direct access to the rear deck—ideal for grilling or dining under the stars. A cozy bar nook, cookbook shelves, and coffee station add personality and ease. Flowing from the kitchen, a light-filled dining and family room offers a casual gathering space with French doors to the backyard and wood floors that echo the home’s rustic roots. Upstairs, five bedrooms and three full baths provide flexibility and comfort. The vaulted primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat, with two full walls of windows, skylights, and tranquil views of the lush grounds. A large walk-in closet and modern en-suite bath complete the space. Two additional bedrooms share a cheerful Jack-and-Jill bath, and a fourth bedroom and fifth bedroom —classic and cozy—are served by a hall bath with a claw-foot tub and vintage charm. Outside, a spacious deck overlooks stone-walled gardens and a rolling, private lawn ringed by mature trees. Thoughtful improvements—like new retaining walls, updated drainage, and deer fencing—make it as practical as it is peaceful. Recent upgrades include mini-split HVAC, partial roof replacement (2023), chimney repointing with wood stove insert, extensive log cabin restoration, removal of knob-and-tube wiring, EV charger, restored and new hardwood floors, and even historic details like salvaged switchplates from Do Do Hamilton’s home. With easy access to Center City, King of Prussia, major routes, and the train station—and located in the Upper Merion School District—Cherry Garth is more than a home. It’s a living piece of history, lovingly cared for and ready for its next chapter. If you’ve ever dreamed of a home with a story to tell—this is it.
