About this home
A RARE opportunity to own a piece of history!! Be only the 4th owners of this property situated on a William Penn granted piece of land and a superbly maintained solid stone home from the 1700s { 1740 believed date}. The home has been completely gutted and renovated true to architectural oversight of the highest standards by such giants as John Milner and Curt Bagnall and features : wide plank floors, 3 fireplaces, Buderus high end boiler system, Central Air, Deep window sills and round walls, New Marvin windows customized for a historic home, 7/8 thick cedar Shake roof and standing seam metal roofs, a custom Cherry kitchen by Rick Ralston, reproduced corner cupboard by Mervin Martin of Winterthur fame. The brick terrace off the family room and back entrance has stone retaining walls perennial gardens and a glorious view across the 27+ acres down to the 2 ponds. The majesty and simple elegance of the home from across the meadows has made it beloved by all who go by.
Also a part of the property is the magnificently maintained barn building complex, detached 3 bay stone garage and other outbuildings. All carry the same standing seam metal roof, solid stone and cedar exteriors and sliding custom metal doors. Store or restore cars?? Work on that boat?? Store equipment of all descriptions?? It is all there including a professional grade painting wing with all the down draft exhaust and fans. The potential is endless.
The barns could also easily be converted in part to stables and the use of the original upper hay barn in the bank barn section of the complex. The fields are gently flat with ponds and stream and are visible from the barn and house...perfect for an equine use if desired!! There are income producing tenants in the barn-no written lease- who would like to stay if a buyer wished it to be so; one maintains the grounds and gardens etc as his payment. A live in Grounds crew is always a great thing! Barns include: corn crib shed, 3 bay shed, Full shop, Body shop, Mechanical shop and 2 shed support bldg and top of bank barn hay storage.
The property is under a Chester County Agricultural Easement and allows for another building site and the possibility of an indoor arena. The buyer and/or buyers agent are responsible for confirming all the facets of the easement provided in the attached documents.
The property - located in the acclaimed Unionville School district-is a short hack or hike to the beautiful 1300 acre Cheslen Preserve and a short drive to the Laurels. 10 minutes to Longwood Gardens!!! Downingtown train station is minutes away and Wilmington station for travel to the east coast corridor is a 30+- minute scenic drive . You are minutes from West Chester, the county seat with shopping and restaurants.
