Charm abounds in this gorgeous converted barn perfectly situated on 2.275 acres in desirable Newtown Square. This 3/4 bedroom 2.5 bath home is like no other. Originally a hayloft, many of the architectural features have been maintained, such as exposed beams, wide plank flooring and wood ceilings. Enter the front door to the vestibule and then the great room with vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves and sliding doors to the expansive, wrap-around deck. The eat-in kitchen is right off the great room and features custom cabinetry, Viking range, black granite countertops and a peninsula with stool seating. On this level, there are 2 bedrooms that share a jack and jill bathroom with a shower/tub combo. There is also a half bath and an office (which can also be used as a den or 4th bedroom, ) that faces the rear yard and has an amazing view. The owners’ suite is situated on the ground level, with a solid barn door, sunken bedroom, radiant heated floors, a custom platform bed, and gas fireplace. The updated primary bathroom features subway tile, large tub and a steam shower. The laundry room is also on this level. The outdoor spaces are just as stunning and include a flagstone patio with outdoor fireplace, a hot tub, huge deck overlooking the scenic vista, a treehouse with suspension bridge and 125' of zip lines. No need to go to camp! There is also a historic circular building on the property that was at one time a water tower for the houses on Dunminning and has many possibilities as an artist studio/party barn? The expansive yard and gardens are easily watered by an in-ground sprinkler system and a whole house generator is included. If you are looking for something different and tired of cookie cutter homes, this is it! Centrally located near Aronimink GC, Episcopal Academy and the towns of Wayne and Newtown Square. Showings start Friday.
