The iconic Chester County home showcased in the 2008 film ‘Marley & Me’ has been placed on the market for $2.3 million. The property, located in Pennsylvania, offers a unique opportunity for potential buyers.

Property Details

The estate encompasses 15 acres of land, featuring a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom main house. It also includes a barn suitable for horses and a three-car garage. The home spans 4,941 square feet.

Interior Features

Inside, the first floor boasts a kitchen with wood-beamed ceilings, a sunroom, and a dining room. The second floor contains three bedrooms, while the top half-floor is dedicated to a primary bedroom suite. This suite includes an exposed stone wall, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom.

Historic Charm and Potential

Originally a dairy farm, the property appeals to those who appreciate historic homes or equestrian enthusiasts. “It’s an ideal place. If you have up to five horses, I think it’s a perfect place for that,” said Michael Wallacavage, a real estate agent with James A. Cochrane Inc. Realtor. He also noted, “The land is wonderful.”

Maintenance and Ownership

Wallacavage emphasized the need for a dedicated owner. “You need someone who’s going to be able to maintain it. There’s gonna be groundskeeping – you have to stay on top of these properties,” he explained. “You don’t just run to the Home Depot with these kinds of properties.”

Current Owners and Sale

The current owners, who purchased the home in 2011, are looking to downsize. “They love it, but I think they’re looking to the next phase in their life,” Wallacavage stated. “They’re empty nesters at this point.” Showings began at the end of March, and while interest has been high, no formal offers had been submitted as of Wednesday morning.

Notably, the sale does not include any dogs – a nod to the film’s beloved canine star, Marley.
