About This Home

As of August 2016

Chester County Fieldstone Contemporary House and Barn with Apartment. The property is tucked away providing privacy and serenity. Drive down Sycamore Lane for about 0.4 mile and you'll come to a quaint cul-de-sac. Continue on the stone road for another 0.25 mile drive, bordered on one side by a century-plus old stone wall. Enter the barn area and park in the original corral area. There are two garage spaces abutting the barn and under a large flagstone patio above. This is one of the oldest and largest barns in Chester County measuring 46' x 103'. The original barn (built in 1750) subsequently had two additions. Contemporary Home: Walk up a flagstone path to a unique contemporary home built just two decades ago. Open the Dutch-style front door and inside provides one-level living offering open floor plan for Living Room and Kitchen, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths and Laundry. Should one desire the wood stove could virtually heat the entire house in winter. Barn Apartment: The Barn Apartment provides one-level, open floor-plan living wherein you can separate the space as you please. The bathroom also has contains the laundry appliances. The owner has given the barn fifty years of loving attention, maintenance and recent updates. As an added value to this unit, the entire floor of the apartment was recently replaced. Radiant Heat is distributed under the new hardwood flooring making it the very best heating system. There's also a large wood stove providing supplemental heat in winter should one want to conserve the propane. The upper barn has a 10' wide fireplace and full kitchen and bath. There is lots of fire wood on the property that serves both the house and barn apartment. The fenced-in vegetable garden and a small chicken coop are waiting for you. For those of you with historical interest the barn was once home to several scores of cows and was part of the Buckwalter Farm. The land, including the present owner, has known only three owners since William Penn who granted the property in the 17th century. A truly peaceful environment, deep-rooted in Chester County history! Come and experience this extraordinary, refreshing quality of living ?. just 2 miles to revitalized historic district in downtown Phoenixville, 3 miles to Kimberton Village and the Kimberton Inn (exceptional restaurant), 4 miles to Wegmans, 6 miles to the Malvern Train Station, and 7 miles to Valley Forge National Park. Also only 3.5 miles to the Route 29 slip ramp onto the PA Turnpike!
