7 Marshall Road
Steve, Kerry and Patrick Connell represent another intriguing, beautiful home on the tour. Located at 7 Marshall Road, their home ties back to the Click’s home on 151 Oak Park Road – Kerry’s parents. Purchased in late 2004, their home is a great example of the character of the homes found in Observatory Hill.
Beautiful parquet floors in the living and dining quarters, stained glass, unique fireplaces, and pocket doors draw you in and through the home, leading you to the many art pieces and collections Steve and Kerry own, including a typewriter collection, maps from Kerry’s hometown of Annville, and pieces by Jeeto and Elvgren.
One of the most important facets of the home to Steve and Kerry, with little surprise, is the wonderful wrap around porch and beautiful views of Riverview Park. Many points in the home provide a park view, but the front porch is one special to the Connell’s and a feature they love to take advantage of, especially in warm weather.
Furnishing the home with a blend of family pieces, estate sale finds, and other sources, the Connell’s home at 7 Marshall Road is another picture of what Observatory Hill’s neighborhood provides – terrific homes, park views, front porches enjoyed by owners that welcome guests, all rolled inside a wonderful hamlet called Acorn Hill.
