One of the oldest and finest houses of its time in Charlestown Township, this circa 1860s Victorian home is rich with beauty, charm, and modern amenities. This home was built nestled into a bucolic countryside dedicated to open space and stands charmingly across from the Brightside Farm Park which is lush with farmed hayfields, a serene walking trail, and community garden. Located in the esteemed Great Valley School District, this home was updated to exacting standards for modern living and to honor the history and character of the original home. It sits on two acres of leveled land, has an inground pool, the original horse stable, and views of preserved land. The vistas from every part of this home are amazing. The house will first welcome you with its original front door, detailed with its historic trim-work. Inside, you will be amazed by the original and restored hardwood floors, spacious living spaces, and abundance of natural light. On the main floor, there is a large living room with built in shelves, a bay window seat, and floor to ceiling windows. The dining room is ready to host gatherings with a crystal chandelier and large, open windows. The kitchen is truly stunning with all new stainless steel appliances, goose-neck fixture, new lighting, a gorgeous neutral granite island, new flooring, sunlights over the breakfast nook, a French door leading to a breakfast patio, and glass cabinets to showcase all your beloved wares. There is a new laundry room that abuts a unique treat—an attached greenhouse. The greenhouse overlooks the land and in-ground pool, such a charming aspect of this home. The main floor also houses a huge family room with a dramatic cathedral ceiling, four sunlights, original and restored hardwood floors, a large window seat overlooking the gardens and inground pool, original fieldstone fireplace with a stunning chestnut beam mantel, and a brand new powder room. The second floor houses two large bedrooms each with: brand new carpeting, double-closets, beautiful windows, and en-suite brand-new full bathrooms. Follow the wrap around wooden banister down the hall to the third floor where you will find two additional, updated and newly carpeted bedrooms. There is an easily accessed basement, that boasts new concrete floors. This home also has: an attached, oversized two-car garage, a new whole house generator, updated electric, new roof over family room and attached garage, new plumbing, all new fixtures and lighting, new alarm system, new central HVAC system, and new septic tank. The whole home has been freshly painted and is move in ready. It’s a truly stunning home and is ready to welcome you and your family.

Farm Residential District
The Farm Residential District contains various critical environmental areas, and soils which are highly suitable for the cultivation of crops. The purpose of the District is: to encourage the use of prime agricultural soils for cultivation, to conserve critical environmental areas, and to limit the sprawling effect of development by encouraging the conservation of open space through a more compact arrangement of lots and buildings. The use of on-site domestic waste disposal is encouraged where appropriate in order to replenish the supply of groundwater. This District is within the zone of low groundwater capability (0-10 gpm) and the zone of severe to moderate soil limitations for on-site sanitary sewer systems.
