About This Home
As of April 2025Remarkable Price Reduction on This Dream Home! This means YOU get the benefit and now is the perfect time to make a move. Last chance for any buyers looking to own a piece of history! lWelcome to the Old Corbitt Farmhouse! The original farmhouse was built in 1771 and the 2 story addition was added in 2007. This one-of-a-kind home is situated on 2-acres just beyond historic Odessa and near the locally-famous Coleman’s Tree Farm. Here you can enjoy all the benefits of country living while still having all the amenities within a 5 mile radius and you’re just minutes away from the Fairview Campus (Appo School District) Just picture yourself sipping coffee on the porch, enjoying the view of your secluded tree-lined back yard and catching glimpses of local wildlife! The home sits across from 200+ acres of preserved farmland so no worries about new construction or building. From the gable roof to the brick front this historic home has all the character and charm you could want with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a bonus room, eat in kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, second floor laundry room and basement with walk up and that’s just the inside! The yard features a chicken coop with enclosed run, a detached workshop/garage and a huge level backyard. The sellers put a large addition off the back of the home in 2007. Upstairs this added a bedroom with cathedral ceiling, large laundry room and full bath. On the first level this added a bonus roomLVP flooring, a full bath and outside a large porch. Take a step back in time as you enter the kitchen, which features wood paneling, cabinets and an an open hearth fireplace in the eat-in kitchen, with the original lug pole crane. The freshly painted dining room with crown molding and chair rail, another fireplace and lots of tucked away cabinets for storage leads into the formal living room, featuring a fireplace, great windows and the main entrance to the home from the front with the original front door! The warm, welcoming and cozy space is filled with natural light from the many windows. There are 2 spiral/box-winding staircases leading up to the second floor and a third staircase up to the attic, which could be finished if you’d like more living space. There is also an unfinished basement with bilko doors leading up to the back yard. Upstairs is a lovely landing space that would be perfect for a library, an office, a study - endless opportunities! And there are 3 bedrooms and a master suite with en-suite bath and attached laundry room. There is NO HOA or historical revue obligations, responsibilities or requirements and you are super secluded! You just can’t find homes like this - especially in the acclaimed Appoquinimink School District. Serenity, peace and privacy can all be yours! You have to see this in person to really grasp the uniqueness and absolute rare opportunity this home affords the owners. The sellers raised their family and are sorry to leave this paradise behind due to an unfortunate job relocation situation. Their loss is your win.
