Property Description
Obscurely tucked away from the road, snuggled behind thick yews and a short stone wall, you will discover a secret treasure; one that could become your secluded refuge and home. Upon seeing this charming stone farmhouse built in 1829, you will be transported to a simpler time in Pennsylvania history, rich with stories that contributed to our American heritage. When entering the home, you will be initially captivated by the beamed ceilings in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Then, you will discover the original fireplaces in the kitchen and dining room. Subsequently, the fireplaces have undergone major refurbishment and comply with architectural and safety requirements. Adjacent to the kitchen is the “mud room,” a transitional space between the kitchen, half-bath, garage, and staircase to a room above the garage. The spacious room above the garage is affectionately referred to as The Treehouse. It was added to the house in the 1970’s from a property located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The multi-purpose room overlooks the pool and the trees that have been carefully maintained. The second floor hosts a large bedroom and closet, as well as a bathroom that has a claw-footed tub. Also, located on the second floor is another room used as an office complete with a large built-in bookcase, fireplace, and closet. Continuing up to the third floor, there are three more bedrooms (purple, orange, and red), full bath, storage, cedar closet, and laundry room. The property owner of this amazing retreat, is proud to have loved and cared for this home. The current owner has installed new oak floors, copper piping, and the plastering of the pool. Additionally, inspections of the roof, furnace, trees, and more have been completed. The records, deeds, and the description of the property are on display from the original builder, stone mason, and farmer Jesse Priest to the present. The evolvement from farmland to community is well documented. Although, a reclusive and private haven, it is but a stones throw from wonderful communities and the delightful area known as West Chester.
