Property Description

897 Richards Rd, Wayne is a timeless colonial farmhouse dating beautifully set on 1.4 acres in Wayne and the award-winning Tredyffrin-Easttown School District. Known as “Collingwood,” this charming 4/5-bedroom, 3 full and 2 half-bath residence combines rich 18th-century character with thoughtfully integrated modern updates, offering both historic charm and everyday livability for today's lifestyle.
From the moment you enter the long driveway flanked by stone fencing and pillars bearing the name 'Collingwood,' the property exudes timeless appeal, with its classic white stucco and siding, complemented by striking black shutters and charming dormer windows. Once home to Revolutionary War figures, including General Dekalb, the historic roots of this home run deep. With a traditional floor plan that flows seamlessly, the home showcases wide plank hardwood floors, charming exposed beams, deep-set windowsills, and four period fireplaces (two of which are gas). These classic architectural elements infuse the home with warmth and character, while thoughtful updates ensure the comfort and ease of modern living.
The informal rooms offer open concept living, as desired in today's new homes, with the kitchen and breakfast room open to the large family room. The family room accesses incredible outdoor spaces on either side. A large screened porch on one, and flagstone patio on the other. The kitchen is in the center of this home and is a great gathering place for everyday living or celebratory gatherings. It features white cabinets, soapstone and wood countertops, marble tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, island seating for 4, and beautiful random width hardwood flooring. It adjoins the large breakfast room with a modern fixture over the dining table as well as pantry closets. Off the kitchen through French doors, enter the sun-lit family room with windows on three sides. This handsome room features original wood beams in the ceiling, a gas fireplace surrounded by period built-in cabinets, and wideplank hardwood flooring. It connects to an expansive screened-in porch with composite flooring and ceiling fan, as well as to the flagstone patio, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Charming details continue in the formal dining room with large, original fireplace and wainscoting, and the elegant living room with fireplace, French doors, and built-in bar. A formal powder room off the mudroom as well.
A flexible main-level office or bonus room with adjoining powder room is privately situated and ideal for working from home. It directly accesses the semi-attached one-car garage. A detached 2-car garage offers added space.
Upstairs, the large primary suite features a vaulted, beamed ceiling, wood floors, ample closets, and a full bath. Large windows on three sides allow for plenty of sunlight and offer views of the property. Three more bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, one with a fireplace, share a hall bath. The third floor offers a fifth bedroom with a full bath—perfect for guests or bonus space as a second family room or more.
Surrounded by a white picket fence, mature landscaping, and peaceful views, this property offers a one-of-a-kind setting just minutes to the Wayne Train Station with service to Philadelphia. Also conveniently located to the shops and restaurants in Downtown Wayne and the King of Prussia Town Center and Mall. For long hikes, this home shares a property line with Valley Forge Park which is perfect for outdoor hiking and other activities. Close to major highways for easy commuting. All within the highly regarded Tredyffrin-Easttown School District.
Historic, charming, and effortlessly livable—897 Richards Rd is a home that truly stands the test of time.Bedroom fireplaces decorative, main level fireplaces gas and operational.
