1080 Georgetown

1080 Georgetown Road is a remarkable, fully restored period home with real history, real craftsmanship, and the kind of space and flexibility that is hard to find. Built by master carpenter and cabinetmaker Jack Elmer, this home reflects the work of a man whose skills were respected far beyond his own family property. Elmer spent his career as a highly skilled craftsman whose work was called on for major restoration and finish carpentry, including work connected to Independence Hall and distinguished estates on Philadelphias Main Line. That level of detail and workmanship is built into this home in ways you can see and feel, from the handmade crown molding and custom cabinetry to the built-ins and trim work created in his own basement workshop. The home was originally built as a duplex and later combined into a large single-family residence, creating a layout with exceptional size, character, and function. Inside, the Williamsburg-inspired living room features a standout custom fireplace that Jack Elmer famously sketched during dinner at the Kings Arms Tavern in Williamsburg and then recreated here in his own home. The kitchen was designed with serious thought and skill, featuring slide-out shelving, pantry door storage, hidden waste storage, extra concealed cabinetry, custom brick detail, and a commercial-strength exhaust fan that made it ideal for cooking and entertaining. The second-floor in-law suite offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, laundry, and a private balcony, with separate access that gives the property excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, or private living space. A sunroom overlooks the backyard and adds even more usable living area, while upgraded electrical service supports the entire property. Outside, the fenced yard, garden areas, circular driveway, attached 1-car garage, and detached 3-car garage provide outstanding storage, parking, and workspace. This is an awesome home in the truest sense of the wordbeautifully restored, loaded with handcrafted detail, full of history, and built for someone who appreciates quality, character, and room to live.
