About this home

312 Orchard Way | South Wayne The charm of a classic center-hall Colonial, the openness of contemporary living, and nearly an acre of mature grounds-all within close distance of South Wayne's schools, trails, downtown Wayne and train station. A thoughtfully designed 1,500-square-foot addition completed in 1999 transformed this traditional Colonial into a home with generous, connected living spaces while preserving its original architectural character. At the heart of the addition is an expansive family room, open to the kitchen and dining area, with French doors leading directly to an outdoor patio. Set two steps below the adjoining rooms, the family room features a beautifully coffered ceiling more than nine feet high. Antique chestnut flooring, reclaimed from a barn, runs throughout the addition, including the family room, kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom-bringing warmth and distinctive character to these spaces. Occupying the upper level of the addition, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a separate reading room, a spacious bedroom with walk-in closets, and a generous bathroom featuring dual pedestal sinks, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and enclosed toilet. Large arched windows distinguish both the bedroom and bathroom. The setting is equally appealing. The house occupies a mature 0.88-acre property, with grounds descending toward a creek along two sides. Despite this unusually spacious setting, the location is central to South Wayne-approximately equidistant between Radnor Middle School and Radnor High School, an easy stroll to downtown Wayne or the Radnor trail, and approximately 12 minutes on foot to the train station. The home offers approximately 4,683 square feet of above-grade finished living space, plus an additional 820 square feet of finished lower-level space suitable for a gym, recreation room, or playroom. An unusually large 1,100 square-foot unfinished workshop provides substantial space for woodworking, hobbies, equipment, and storage. Storage extends well beyond the workshop. Both third-floor bedrooms feature extensive built-in cabinetry within their knee walls, while a motorized stairway provides access to approximately 420 square feet of above-garage storage. Completing the property is a 200-square-foot horse barn, carefully relocated from Chester County, offering additional storage and a distinctive connection to the region's agricultural past. With its combination of traditional architecture, substantial contemporary living spaces, expansive grounds, and convenient South Wayne location, 312 Orchard Way offers a set of features seldom found together in one property.
