This beauty featured on DIY Stone House Revival was built in 1684 by Nathaniel Evans upon arriving from England in 1682. The “Thimble House” is the first home built in Aston Township and it is the second oldest house in Delaware County. It is rumored to have been part of the Underground Railroad. The house includes a two-story barn, spring house, detached one car garage, fully stocked koi pond plus lovely landscaping including many flowering magnolia, dogwood, redbud and weeping cherry trees. This home has been meticulously maintained and cared for and is quite a hidden treasure. Be sure to click on the movie camera icon for an impressive slideshow. Welcome home!

This home has lots of charm. Many original details have been beautifully preserved and incorporated. The kitchen is bright and spacious and the lower level has a walk out, full bath and very nice finishes. There's one bedroom on the second floor and...
