Welcome to 1562 Yellow Springs Road, a charming farmhouse nestled on 1.5 picturesque acres in the heart of Chester Springs.

Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a spacious full bath. One bedroom includes direct access to the roof above the covered porch, presenting an exciting opportunity for additional exterior space. Throughout the home, timeless farmhouse details—including beautiful original hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, the original front door, and classic 6-over-6 windows—create an inviting atmosphere full of warmth and character. Recent improvements include updated siding, gutters, interior and exterior paint, a newer roof, and a newer well, allowing you to enjoy the home's historic appeal with the confidence that many of the major improvements have already been completed. The dry basement offers abundant storage along with a dedicated workout area, while the oversized detached 2-car garage with walk-up attic space provides even more room for storage, hobbies, or a workshop.
