Description

Welcome to 337 Plush Mill Road, a beautifully preserved California style mid-century gem featuring fieldstone and redwood construction nestled on almost a full acre lot, with a desirable design and location. This 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home was designed and built by architect Fred A. Fuller, Jr. in 1960. It is a beautiful representation of mid-century modern architecture, having the clean lines, large windows, open floor plan, functionality, built-ins, indoor-outdoor living that mid-century modern homes are loved for. Its location, bordering the quiet and serene 24 acre Pendle Hill arboretum, adds to its overall value and charm. As you enter through the original glass panel front door into the entrance hall, you can access a well appointed den/office with built-in wood cabinets and shelves. You can then step down into the living room, which is designed to make the larger space feel both intimate and grand, perfect for conversation and socializing. The main features in the living room are a great flagstone fireplace and redwood vertical siding that draw exterior elements into the house. Original built-in shelves and cabinets flank the right side of the fireplace and large panel windows offer natural light from the northern side of the house. The formal dining room is filled with light coming in through sliding patio doors that lead onto a backyard deck. The large deck is perfect for outdoor entertaining or dining under the stars. The open plan kitchen has a generous “multi-purpose area” that easily fits a breakfast table. The kitchen receives plenty of natural light from large pane windows that look into an interior courtyard. The spacious family room has high ceilings and makes a perfect place to come together for an evening of games and movies. Highlights in this room include large pane windows and sliding doors looking into the backyard and the inner courtyard, a hand-fed coal stove for that extra cozy heat, and a handsome built-in credenza. The single-story design provides convenience and flexibility. The primary bedroom suite is designed with privacy and comfort in mind. It includes a large walk-in closet with custom shelving and a grand bathroom with double sinks, marble countertops, a built-in dressing table, and a shower stall. The three other bedrooms are well proportioned with spacious closets. Two of the bedrooms are divided by an accordion partition wall, providing flexibility and the option for siblings to share the rooms. The basement is partially finished with a recreation/media room with newly installed luxury vinyl plank flooring and a nicely appointed half bath. It has several large rooms for storage and a cedar lined closet for winter clothing storage. Enjoy the tranquility of the grounds from your private and secluded deck or the stone patio. The lush landscape offers a serene escape, ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply unwinding. The property has a large two car garage which is connected to the house through a slate floor breezeway. 337 Plush Mill Road is located in the sought-after and award winning Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Nearby is the renowned Community Arts Center which provides art classes for all ages and hosts the highly anticipated Annual Holiday Sale of Fine Craft & Pottery event. Trails within walking distance are the Smedley-Leiper Trail, the Swarthmore College Crum Woods Trail, and the Pendle Hill Arboretum Trail.
