While it has faced some issues over the years, including flooding, Greenwood Farm in Tredyffrin Township, historically known as George Washington’s “second headquarters,” is pushing onward, writes J.F. Pirro for Main Line Today.

Current owner Danielle Francis acquired the estate, along with her husband, Chris, from her mother and stepfather. The property, on the National Register of Historic Places, has a main home, a carriage house, and a barn.

The 18th-century manor home features high ceilings, hardwood floors, numerous fireplaces, six bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Details include elegant millwork and large windows that bring the outside inside.

The residence’s entrance hall is home to a plaque that documents the site as the interim headquarters of General George Washington, who is believed to have stayed there in December 1777. After his pause in Tredyffrin, the general moved onto the Isaac Potts House at Valley Forge.

The grounds also boast a pool with pool house, lush perennial gardens, fountains, several sculptures, and a clay tennis court.

“It’s a great property, right?” said Francis. “It’s a great place to raise kids, a place where we can really spread out.”
