This traditional Pennsylvania stone farmhouse, designed by architect Charles T. Okie, sits on a hill up a private lane on 2 acres. Built in 1971, this reproduction of a Pennsylvania fieldstone farmhouse offers historical style and modern convenience. Stone exterior and newer roofing show the character of this home as you arrive. Hardwood floors, plaster walls and deep window sills throughout emulate the traditional character of a Chester county farmhouse of long ago. Upstairs, each spacious bedroom suite offers a full bath, with access to a walk-up full length attic that could offer the possibility for additional bedroom(s) and bathroom expansion. The main level has a large formal living room with fireplace and bookcases, a fully equipped kitchen has everything within reach, and an adjacent dining room. Just off the kitchen, there's the spacious gathering room with a fireplace, bookcases, and wet bar. The beautiful and private rear yard is an ideal spot to enjoy the serenity of this setting or the pleasures of a swim in your own pool. Back inside, and downstairs, the basement guest suite has its own fireplace and a full bathroom or it could just as easily be a perfect media room. The balance of the basement offers easy egress to the exterior and the rear yard. Located in the Great Valley School District, minutes to Route 202 and the PA Turnpike plus Great Valley Corporate Center and all the shopping the area offers. Separate from the ordinary, here's your opportunity to own a distinctive yet traditional home. Be sure to see 478 Conestoga Road soon.

This traditional colonial home was designed by the well-known architect, Charles T. Okie, as an authentic reproduction of a Pennsylvania Fieldstone Farmhouse. The exterior stone was excavated during the construction of the basement, and hardwood floors, plaster walls and deep window sills were used throughout to emulate early 1900's construction. Upstairs boasts two bedroom suites, each having a full bath. The basement guest suite with a fireplace, also has a full bathroom. A walk-up full length attic allows the possibility for additional bedroom(s) and bathroom expansion. On the main level is a large living room with fireplace, a kitchen with newer appliances, an adjacent dining room, a huge gathering room with a fireplace and wet bar. The secluded lot features serene settings and the fenced backyard is enhanced with a completely renovated Sylvan pool for entertaining. All of this in Great Valley School District. Minutes to Route 202, the slip ramp to the PA Turnpike, Great Valley Corporate Center and all the shopping the area offers.
