Property Description

Built in 1737, 1 Sproul Lane is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of history. While the original builder of this distinguished home has been lost to history, its earliest recorded ownership dates to the 18th century. Thomas Leiper, a Scottish-born tobacco merchant, constructed America's first working railroad in 1809, using ox-drawn cars to transport stone from his quarry along Ridley Creek. Leiper used 1 Sproul Lane as a guest house for visitors to his nearby estate, located a mile north. In 1808, he built a residence next door known as "Lapidea Manor" for his son, James, which led to 1 Sproul Lane becoming known as “Lapidea Cottage." The home later came into the possession of William Cameron Sproul, a newspaper publisher and state senator who, while residing at Lapidea Cottage, went on to serve as Pennsylvania's 27th governor from 1919 to 1923. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath stone Colonial Revival is rich with timeless charm, beginning with the inviting covered front porch set on a secluded lot. Entering the dutch style front door, the open living and dining spaces showcase exquisite custom millwork, American chestnut staircase and wainscotting, exposed ceiling beams, hardwood floors, and two fireplaces - one partnered with a charming built-in bench - creating an ideal setting for entertaining. Enjoy the solid wood doors featured throughout the home. The upgraded kitchen blends historic character with modern convenience, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Viking 6-burner gas range with hood, and counter seating. A convenient powder room completes the main level. The second floor offers a primary suite with an ensuite bath with tiled shower, a spacious hallway bath with tiled tub/shower, a second spacious bedroom, and the laundry area. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms and a full bath with a tiled shower and glass-top vanity. Outdoor living is equally special with a patio overlooking a tranquil koi pond, and plenty of green space to enjoy in the warmer months. This home includes a two-story spring house with a newer copper roof (2021) and electric service that adds to the property's unique appeal - offering space for a workshop, studio, or storage. Truly one of a kind, this home seamlessly blends centuries-old craftsmanship with thoughtful updates for modern living.
