Before There Was Hamilton, There Was John Hannum: One of the Earliest Homes in PA!

Welcome to 547 Concord Road, which has stood proudly as one of the earliest homes built in Pennsylvania and served many uses in the community both before and after the Revolutionary War. Situated within the Garnet Valley School District, this home was built in 1695 and owned by Col. John Hannum, a politician, businessman, and colonial militiaman in Chester County. The home is registered in the Pennsylvania Inventory of Historic Places and was one of the first licensed taverns in Pennsylvania (1720).

It is located on 2 flat acres of land with a 3-car carport and lush surroundings. A covered porch runs the length of the front of the house, and many of the original details including doors, moldings and mantles are still intact. Several rooms feature one of the nine fireplaces, as well as wide planked, original hardwood floors.

The kitchen, primary and guest baths have been updated by the current owner, who also created a generous primary closet space. There are five bedrooms, one of which is part of an attached guest suite complete with its own kitchen. This space can be closed off from the main house and be income producing. The walk-up attic spans the entire length of the house, as does a generous basement with unlimited storage with an outside entrance. The home features central air conditioning, a modern Well filtration system, and countless bits of charm throughout. Outside, the enormous and private backyard and patio provide limitless play or gardening spaces.

Don’t throw away your shot at owning a piece of American history while nestled in a premier school district and only minutes away from the conveniences of Glen Mills and North Wilmington (tax free shopping) and easy access to Media and King of Prussia.
