The interior and exterior of the farmhouse, located at 1775 Meetinghouse Road, appeared in the 2008 film Marley & Me, the beloved movie starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston as the owners of Marley, a lovable but troublesome Labrador retriever. The story's connections to the Philadelphia area run deep, as the film was based on the memoir of former Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Grogan. The listing describes the property as move-in ready, while also noting ongoing upkeep and grounds maintenance.
- The farmhouse spans nearly 5,000 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, featuring wood ceiling beams in the kitchen, a sunroom, and a dining room on the first floor.
- Once a working dairy farm, the West Chester property has received a historical designation, adding a layer of provenance that few properties in the region can claim.
- The sale at $2.3 million reflects sustained demand for historic estate properties in Chester County and the broader Delaware Valley, where character, acreage, and story continue to command premium pricing
- For buyers drawn to properties with genuine history and cinematic provenance, this sale is a reminder that the right property, in the right location, with the right story, holds value in any market
Properties like this one do not come to market often, and when they do, they tend to move. The Main Line and surrounding Chester County communities remain one of the most compelling markets in the country for buyers who want something more than a house.
