A beautiful West Chester home with an indoor pool and a custom tree house sitting on 12 acres is available for sale for $3.495 million, writes Ryan Mulligan for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
Built in 1985, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom home spans 7,248 square feet, with the two-story indoor pool featuring a glass overlook from the second level.
It was owned by Edward McClatchy Jr., whose sailing-related products were used for many competitions and Olympic-winning teams.
The home was built with an inverted floor plan, with the kitchen, living room, dining area, and primary suite on the second floor. Many of these spaces feature wood paneling and exposed stone.
The remaining bedrooms are located on the first level, along with a sauna, steam room, bar, wine cellar, and billiards room.
Outside, the property includes a lovely koi pond, manicured gardens with walking trails, and a party barn with spacious grounds that are ideal for hosting indoor-outdoor events.
“When you’re at the property, it feels like a sanctuary,” said listing agent Stephen Gross with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach. “The amenities that it has… it feels like you have kind of a compound, a real retreat, a very private little enclave of your own.”
