Step back in time in this timeless stone and stucco Colonial farmhouse on 10.9 acres (Springwood Farm) --- priced to sell in the beautifully historic West Bradford Township of Chester County. This spacious property boasts its very own private pond and beautiful, flowing streams -- yielding a breathtaking view from atop the rolling hills just to the right of the home. Although family-owned since 1978, the original structure - located in the center of the home offers 3 floors plus generous attic space. The addition on the right side was added at a later time. This authentic farmhouse literally takes you back in time with beautiful hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, an elegantly curved staircase, and a main floor sunroom with gorgeous slate floors. The kitchen - originally the smokehouse - and dining area showcase beautiful exposed wood ceiling beams. Although seemingly tucked away in its own corner of the county, this stunning piece of history is conveniently located only minutes away from the train station and major highways. A left out of the driveway takes you onto the continuation of Saw Mill Rd, and there are only 1.5 sparsely traveled miles to Old Shadyside Rd and Rt 322. The long, winding driveway leads to the outbuildings overlooking the picturesque, spring-fed pond. This property is located in the award-winning Downingtown School District, whose STEM school has been rated number 2 in the state. Because the property is enrolled in ACT 319, it offers the perfect opportunity to own a beautiful, manageable farm with surprisingly low taxes ($4339 per year). There is also space to build an additional home if so desired (please contact the township for specific details). Ideal for nature walks, horseback riding, and biking, it truly is a nature lover’s prime opportunity to own a tiny piece of Pennsylvania history. Don’t miss your chance to call this beautiful, authentic historical treasure your own! This property is being sold in as is condition.
