Strasburg Residence in Marshallton

Inside the home, natural light and views of the surrounding hills are welcomed through expansive, well-positioned windows. A thoughtful mixture of wood, metals, plaster, and stone provides warmth and depth of texture throughout the interior. In the family room, timber trusses and understated millwork combine to transform the space into one that is simultaneously elegant and cozy. A set of arched doorways on either side of the fireplace lead into the large eat-in kitchen, which features a second fireplace.

Throughout the residence, the floor plan emphasizes natural flow and intuitive circulation, responding to the movement of the rolling landscape. Intimate nooks for reading, dining, and quiet retreat are incorporated throughout the home, creating moments of comfort and discovery while also framing views of the bucolic property. Home to an artist, an art studio above the garage was designed to capture Pennsylvania countryside vistas, while being large enough to host studio events and classes as a separate space from the main living area.

Upon its 45 acres of rolling hills and farmland, the Strasburg Residence is deeply connected to its pastoral environment. The home is nestled into the land in a way that reinforces a sense of permanence, as though it has long belonged to the Chester County countryside. At the rear of the residence, the pool and entertaining terraces are situated to take full advantage of the surrounding hills and vineyards, providing a relaxed setting for gatherings with family and friends.

Rooted in tradition yet shaped for modern living, this new home balances Georgian proportions with regional character. Through deliberate siting, enduring materials, and careful scaling, the home captures the charm of an English Country estate while remaining firmly grounded in contemporary life. The result is a warm, welcoming residence that feels timeless in spirit and deeply connected to the land in Marshallton.
