About This Home
Set on 15 magical acres and overlooking a sparkling three acre pond, Willow Lake Farm is an extraordinary country estate where timeless architecture, exceptional privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty come together. Built in 1936 by acclaimed builder, Albert H. Jacobs Jr., the residence showcases classic Pennsylvania craftsmanship with a handsome fieldstone exterior and Vermont rough-texture slate roof. Rich architectural details - including eight fireplaces, a circular staircase, random-width pegged oak floors, flagstone terraces, custom millwork, and abundant French doors and windows - give the home warmth and character rarely found today.
Inside, a gracious entrance hall sets the tone for beautifully proportioned living spaces designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Along the rear of the home, French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping water views, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and the picturesque grounds beyond. The spacious family room, anchored by a fireplace, offers an inviting place to gather with family and friends, while the adjacent private study, complete with a built-in desk and bookcases, provides an ideal setting for working from home. An open den with its own fireplace creates a cozy retreat for relaxing while enjoying views of the surrounding landscape. The formal dining room, enhanced by a fireplace, custom crown molding, and timeless architectural details, provides an elegant backdrop for memorable dinners and holiday gatherings. Completing the main living spaces, the handsome living room offers a refined yet comfortable retreat featuring another fireplace and beautiful custom Stephen Tait moldings.
The expansive kitchen and breakfast room/den addition seamlessly blends the home's historic character with a more open, light-filled lifestyle. Exposed stone walls, custom white cabinetry, handmade Mexican tile floors, vaulted ceilings, and walls of glass, frame views of the surrounding grounds. Just beyond, walking paths wind through the property to a meditation garden and an arched Monet bridge crossing the stream and waterfall. A flagstone terrace overlooks the pool and pond, creating a spectacular backdrop for entertaining and outdoor living.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a serene retreat, highlighted by a balcony with picturesque views of the estate and surrounding grounds. A thoughtfully converted sleeping porch now serves as an impressive walk-in closet complete with its own laundry area, while the light-filled primary bath - adds distinctive character to the suite.
