Best of both worlds - past and present. This 1771 Quaker Farm house also known as the Barnes House provides all of the character of an old stone home and all of the comfort you expect for modern living. 450 is nestled on land overlooking Darby Creek in Delaware County, surrounded by undeveloped woods turning this almost acre parcel into a serene five acre experience. The owners love that it's both in the middle of everything and sits quietly off the beaten path. While RT 320 and all its shops and restaurants are just minutes away, the house sits more than 200' back from the road. So, you can enjoy a quiet escape from the rush of life making you feel like you are miles away from everything when you pull in the driveway. You will realize, when you spend your first morning on the covered back porch relaxing with a cup of coffee, that buying this home was a great decision.
