28 Paper Mill Road

Introducing Mill House Farm- a thoughtfully restored and completely renovated 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home that sits on a breath taking 3.8 acre lot. Under the guidance of Archer and Buchanan and the detailed work of Rittenhouse Builders, a whole house renovation was completed to sensitively restore and enhance the historic character of the house. Extensive historical research was done so that it remained true to keeping with it’s Okie design & the 19th century, while still updating it for modern living. The addition of the kitchen, mudroom, and laundry area was purposely kept to scale of the existing house so not to overwhelm the original historic structure while also allowing for an effortless flow. Just a few of the architectural details include reclaimed, antique period mantels; antique restored ceiling lighting and custom antique replica lighting; antique hardware or replica hardware; reclaimed doors; and custom cabinetry throughout. Some of the modern amenities featured include a gourmet kitchen with radiant floor heating, soapstone counters, Viking Appliances, custom inset cabinetry, and attached breakfast room; heated floors in second floor bathrooms- both completely updated; central air added; whole house generator; and first floor laundry. There is even a finished third floor that could be used as a play room or office. The unbelievable exterior is not to be missed with a covered porch that overlooks scenic Darby Creek and the multiple organic gardens and lily pond courtesy of Wallace Landscaping Associates. Antique millstone in the front garden gives nod to it’s Mill House origin while the thoughtful native plantings add to the biodiversity of the gardens. The back half of the property offers great space for play equipment and fun and even has a zip line that connects you from one end to the other. To the left of the driveway there is vegetable gardens, a chicken coop and a shed that is currently used as a work-out space with heat and wifi. All of this while being minutes to some of the best private academies in the country including Episcopal Academy, Agnes Irwin, and Academy of Notre Dame; close to Downtown Wayne; and easy access to all major roadways and Paoli Train Station.
