About This Home
As of November 2017There can be little to equal the unique charm of this mid 1700s Pennsylvania log home that is nestled in one of the most desirable areas of Northern Chester County backing up to woods and facing farm fields. The great room with its wide plank floors,stunning open beam ceiling and stone fireplace with wood stove offers a warm and welcoming living space. The large updated kitchen has newer appliances, oversized farm sink and slate tile flooring. The first floor also boasts a conveniently located laundry area and half bath. The stairs wind up to the second floor where two charming bedrooms share a lovely hall bath with hand painted vanity, claw foot tub and recently renovated stall shower. The main bedroom has its own bath with a lovely new slipper tub and private exit to the rear deck and stairs down to the back yard and flagstone patio. On the third floor there is a large open room that the prior owners used as a 4th bedroom for guests.Many upgrades put in place in since 2015 include: relining the main chimney, replacement of the rubber roofing, upgrades to the electric system (now 200 amp),addition of an on-demand generator,a state of the art water purification system and a new septic system. Outside within the 3 acre property there are some lovely perennials,flowering shrubs and fragrant roses. New post and rail fencing, a two car garage with a full second floor which is ready to be finished. A three season studio completes the picture.
