The Jonathan Morris House is a vibrant slice of American History thoughtfully enhanced for today's lifestyles.
This home is a lovely Georgian Stone Colonial, built at the birth of our nation in 1775 by a first generation American, Dr. Jonathan Morris, a surgeon in the Revolutionary War. The Morris family is part of the rich history of Delaware County, Pa. Dr. Morris was a grandson of an original Penn Land Grant holder David Morris. Jonathan was a "rebel" in the family as he became a Physcian vs. taking his family's path of prosperous farmers and millers in Marple and Radnor Townships. The home is beautifully constructed of local stone and unusually high ceilings(9+feet)and large windows that reflect Dr. Morris' prominent stature in the community. The home has many lovely original features such a the iconic inner fireplaces with original woodwork on both floors, the spiral staircase unique to the locale, and an adorable stone smokehouse in the back yard that lends striking character to the gardens.While many old homes have charm, they often lack modern amenities that make a home comfortable family residence today. The Jonathan Morris House is also unique in this regard-it has been thoughtfully updated with a thoroughly modern fully custom kitchen, a light-filled 20x30 family room, a master bath and dressing room of the same size that would delight any couple, 3 additional updated baths, copious closet space, and completely modern infrastructure including two zone central heat and air. Tastful plantings on the acre property provide privacy and year round cuttings for interior decoration. While old homes abound in our region, they are often either untouchable manses of estate owners or cramped quarters of the folks who worked for them; the Jonathan Morris House uniquely possesses all the desirable aspects of the 18th through 21st centuries within reach of today's local families.
