Steeped in centuries of history, Bodine Manor House on Pigeon Run Farm in Malvern truly offers the lifestyle of a country squire. Originally built in the 1780s, the perfectly preserved farmhouse comes complete with a private country estate of almost 14 acres, writes Esther Yoon for Philadelphia Magazine.   

This 4-bedroom 3 ½ bath home is full of detail in every room including chair rails, built-in cabinetry, hand-crafted chestnut floors, and a butler’s pantry. The beamed ceilings together with the original hearth fireplace with cooking crane add to the historic atmosphere.

William Bodine made a number of changes to the original farmhouse from 1903 to 1912, adding north and south wings to increase the living space and later added a full basement and stand-up attic.

The farmhouse has also undergone a nearly two decade restoration that preserved the old while adding modern living amenities. The kitchen now features granite countertops, fully updated appliances and custom-built period glass-front cabinetry.

The master suite on the upper floor overlooks the beautiful orchard, which is just one of the draws of this property’s amazing outdoor space that also includes woodlands, and a rustic stone carriage house.

This magnificent property at 2168 Bodine Rd. in Malvern is on offer for $1,395,000.
