About This Home

As of December 2019

This majestic stone farmhouse and estate offers endless possibilities for Equestrian pursuits, a Gentleman's farm or private country retreat; an ideal setting for those inspired by beauty and ambiance. Buttonwood Farm, built in 1885, has retained many original features, including the Summer Kitchen with a walk-in stove fireplace. Traditionalists will treasure the new 100-year Canadian slate roof, copper gutters, downspouts and accents, deep windowsills, wood floors, built-ins and beamed ceilings. A beautiful new full color flagstone terrace complimented by stone walls and a picturesque scenery offer the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. The 1760 stone bank barn with newer stone pointing built with hand-hewn timbers and pegged joints has the potential for 4 stalls. The new crushed blue stone paddock is an ideal surface for horses or livestock. In addition, the property has 2 pastures and new high-quality wood fencing that includes a hot wire to keep large animals from leaning on the fence if desired. To complete the grounds, cool off in the in-ground pool during hot summer days. The farmhouse is the perfect fusion of charming character and modern conveniences. The spacious Great Room has a beamed ceiling, marble wood burning fireplace, and access to the flagstone terrace. Also connected to the terrace is the Summer Kitchen, a cherished quite space that can be used as an office or reading room. The dining room features custom corner cabinetry and shelving. Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen that includes a wall of windows that overlooks the lovely landscape, as well as a breakfast room. On the second level, the master suite flaunts a walk around dressing room and updated bath. Two additional bedrooms on the second floor share a remodeled hall bath as well. The in-law/au pair suite with an updated private full bath and a separate outside entrance round out the second floor. The walk-up attic is floored and could possibly be finished for additional living space. The large horse arena, Heyser Field, is free to the public and is only 900 feet away from Buttonwood Farm. Many capital improvements and recent renovations include but are not limited to the following: 2019- 100+ year Canadian roof and copper accents, 2019- 3 updated full baths, 2019- pool filter & electrical box, 2019- exterior and interior paint, 2018- high velocity central A/C system, 2018- full color flagstone terrace, 2018- extensive drainage system near barn, 2018- paddock and wood fence. This property set on 8.73 acres includes 2 parcels and is one of a kind- beauty and serenity only 15 minutes from King of Prussia, Blue Bell, Lansdale and the PA Turnpike. Come see for yourself!
