About 1285 Farm Rd
Welcome to 1285 Farm Road, a distinguished Pohlig-built resale on 1.3 private acres with a pool in the sought-after Leopard Farm enclave of Berwyn. Built in 1989 by one of the Main Line’s premier custom builders, this 6-bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath residence includes a beautifully finished walkout lower level. Surrounded by mature trees and lush, year-round gardens—including specimen tree peonies at the front entry—it sits within the top-ranked Tredyffrin-Easttown School District.
Tucked into a sought after neighborhood of large lots, the property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, with easy access to Rt 252, Leopard Rd, Sugartown Rd and nearby schools, shops, and dining. Set back from the road, the home is approached through a winding driveway with lots of privacy andparking and beautifully landscaped courtyard entry and surrounded by thoughtfully designed gardens. These outdoor elements set the tone for the gracious interiors that follow. Inside the home features light filled rooms, complemented by high ceilings, detailed millwork, and rich hardwood floors.
The classic center hall design features a welcoming foyer flanked by a sunlit dining room with a bowed window and a formal living room with fireplace and marble surround. The library/home office/den offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the expansive front lawn—ideal for working from home. At the heart of the home is the spacious, open-concept kitchen and great room. The kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, large center island, peninsula seating, walk-in pantry, and built-in desk surrounded by custom cabinetry. A butler’s pantry connects to the dining room, and the adjacent breakfast room opens to the rear deck via French doors. The great room features vaulted ceilings, dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and French doors that open to the deck. These three spaces—kitchen, breakfast room, great room—flow effortlessly together for a layout that invites connection and comfort. Backstairs are located here. The main level also includes a mudroom, two powder rooms, and a large laundry room with granite counters and cabinetry.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with two walk-in closets, and a large spa-style bath featuring double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Bedroom 2 enjoys an en-suite bath, while Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities. A bonus room right next to the primary suite with a soaring ceiling and built-in sink offers flexible space—used as an art studio, this could be a 5th upstairs bedroom.
The finished walkout lower level includes an additional bedroom, full bath, gym area, and a media/bonus room. A built-in bar w/ granite counters, wine refrigerator, and a stone feature wall makes it ideal for entertaining, while a separate area is perfect for ping pong, movie nights, or sleepovers. It also provides direct walk-out access to the pool. Large windows, recessed lighting, and a mix of tile and carpeted flooring bring comfort and flexibility to this well-designed level.
From the mudroom door, through a charming breezeway, enter the oversized 3-car garage with stairs to a large unfinished space above, ideal for creating another living suite, an office, home gym or studio.
Outdoor living is equally impressive: a multi-tiered deck, tiled patio, mature landscaping, and shaded areas surround the in-ground pool and spa, creating a peaceful oasis.
