About This Home
As of December 2021Own a piece of Chester County history! This home was once a Drovers Inn formerly known as The Rising Sun Tavern built-in 1815 by William Waggonseller. This home has a pedigree along with several books written about it and has been included in Chester County days tour. Gorgeous stone home with an immense bank barn. The 5.20 acres add privacy and possibilities to this property. The barn has very high ceilings on the lower floor that would be perfect for a few horses.
When walking into this home you can immediately see the authenticity from the hardwood floors, the hand-crafted molding, doors, and many original features. The Living room has beautiful original hardwood floors, a working fireplace with a wood stove, built-ins, deep window sills, and double doors that add so much character. The dining room was the Tavern's bar area, hardwood floors and deep window sills add to this lovely room. The Tavern room has a gorgeous walk-in fireplace with the original welcome window, hardwood floors, open beams, and a powder room. A side staircase to the second floor gives that bedroom a private entrance. The kitchen with a fireplace and wood mantle plus a candle closet....just needs your touch, imagine how beautiful it will be. The center hall has an exit to the 29 x 11 deck that overlooks the sprawling backyard. Turned staircase leads to 4 bedrooms and a full bath. Primary bedroom has hardwood floors, fireplace, closet, open beams, and a door to 4th bedroom which could be used as an additional closet or sitting room to expand your Primary bedroom (it also has its own entry to the first floor). There are 2 additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, and one with a fireplace. Full bath. Huge attic for storage. Basement has the original walk-in fireplace, dual oil tanks, laundry and it's a walk-out. Outbuildings include a carriage house, springhouse, and gazebo. The bank barn is magnificent, the upstairs is in great condition, it is separated into different rooms and has a back area for storage. The 1st floor has very high ceilings which are unusual for this type of barn. Upstairs is heated with 5 overhead propane heaters and 2 propane fireplaces all in good condition. The 5.20 acres is serene with a creek running through the spring house and a meadow on the side of the barn. The wooded area in the back provides privacy from other homes.
