About This Home

As of October 2020

Welcome to the"Deckhouse". This home has been lovingly cared for by its owners over the years. Situated on 2 acres on a quiet country road in the Chester Springs-Birchrunville area the property has a unique country setting with woods, views, fields and pastures. As you enter through the hand-crafted Mahogany front door, a slate entry and several steps take you to the main floor of living space. The home has many floor to ceiling windows that lets you capture the beauty of the outdoors, as if you were in an aviary. The Living room has a raised hearth stone fireplace, beamed vaulted ceiling. The kitchen features natural cherry cabinets, tile flooring, double ovens, workstation area, Subzero refrigerator and skylights.The Master bedroom has a brick raised hearth fireplace, master bath with shower and vaulted beam ceiling. Mahogany millwork, baseboards, railings and trim are throughout the house. A two story addition was added in 1988 which on the main floor created a picturesque dining room with oak flooring and separate wing with a large sitting/family room area, bedroom and full bath. Sliding glass doors on the main floor exit out to a full deck that has breathtaking panoramic views. On the lower level:There are two bedrooms, a full bath, family room with wood stove, exercise room, Laundry and entrance to an oversized two car garage with a built in cedar closet.The exterior of the property in the front looks onto the woods, gazebo and small playhouse. Ample driveway parking and access to the oversized garage. A garden/utility shed and additional parking is off to the one side of the house. The rear of the property is fenced in with an exquisite stone walkway that meanders past a garden waterfall. Additional stonework can be seen in the walls and around the in-ground heated pool and hot tub. Many native plants are in and around the property. A sculptured bear carved tree faces the pool and rear of the house. Below that, there is a fenced in area with a small barn that would be perfect for livestock. This home has very generous room sizes, a wonderful, comfortable floor plan and magnificent vistas. You are within comfortable walking distance to the charming village of Birchrunville where you can dine at the popular Birchrunville cafe or lunch at the Butterscotch Bakery or catch up with your neighbors at the quaint post office. The property is adjacent to the Horseshoe trail with gently sloping hills, where you can hike, bike and horseback ride. Despite its magnificent seclusion you are close to all the major highways of PA including turnpike, Rtes, 100, 401, 202 and 23.
