This Chester County classic will appeal to those who have a deep, almost reverential appreciation for history. Some of the structures were built before the founding of our nation in the 1700's. The rich character of stone walls, timber framing and wide plank flooring are all quietly here. And the land; the land never changes; it is still timelessly beautiful. As with most historic properties, over time additions were added, outbuildings were constructed, and trees and gardens were planted. And now it is time for the mantle to be passed to a new owner; one who can appreciate not only the past, but also has a vision for the future, - and the ability to recognize and capture the potential that this property holds. There is much already here. Starting with the main farmhouse, which has spacious rooms, classic architecture, and the addition of a small attached apartment. There is the requisite bank barn with enormous stone gable walls, and a wide-open upper level space which is quite remarkable. The lower level has stalls from when horses were kept at an earlier time, and horses are still most welcome. Near the glistening, spring fed pond is the old spring house and a separate carriage house, which has been converted to a quaint dwelling. Additionally, there is a detached garage and yet another building which was at one time permitted for use as an antique shop. If historic properties are your passion, and you have the ability to harness a dream, then this property merits your attention. The 10 acre parcel is treated favorably for lower property taxes.
