SALE PENDING As sunlight clears the treetops and warms the natural stone exterior of Silver Creek Farm, faint whispers of history rustle through the fields. Built in 1790, this quintessential Pennsylvania farm is offered for the first time in 75 years and is sited on 23 acres of open fields, creek and pristine woods. The pond offers winter sport and summer delight for all who are fortunate enough to enjoy it. The historic home, freshly painted with softly glowing hardwood floors, is a sunlit haven with deep windows and generous rooms ready to hold the laughter and love of coming generations. The first floor of the classic stone farm house has a large living room, dining room and kitchen, while the private sleeping area consists of 3 bedrooms and a usable walk up attic. The old smoke house remains attached, and the deep front porch invites you to spend the evenings stargazing. The original farm buildings offer unlimited potential for workshops, animals, or farm equipment, and the barrel-roofed root cellar awaits the perfect wines. From the first light of day to the soft shadows of dusk, Silver Creek Farm is poised to move forward with all the grace of the past and a view to the future. You are in the country but near every convenience.
