Have you ever dreamt of owning a piece of Chester County history? Here is your chance! Built in 1758, this gorgeous farmhouse was once part of the local sheep herder's farm. This charming stone home has been expanded and improved over the years, resulting in a more functional move-in ready space that still retains much of its original character. The main level begins in a huge 25x25 family room that was part of a Kutz-built addition from the late 1960's. This room was once the recital room for a local piano teacher and boasts tons of natural light, brand new carpet, and recessed lighting! There is also a convenient powder room and coat closet in the brick floored entryway. A large hallway with built-in cabinetry connects the addition to the original portion of the home, and leads to a dining room with brand new flooring, deep windowsills, and exposed beams! Imagine all of the owners that have lived here. .. before the roads were cut in, before plumbing. .. even the current fireplace with wood stove insert used to be a walk-in fireplace. Just off the dining room is the kitchen, which is part of an addition from 1768. The kitchen has ceramic tile floors, stone accent wall, butcher block island, granite countertops, new farm sink, and access to the huge front porch that is just waiting for sunny days and lemonade! There are 2 staircases to the second floor where you will find two rooms that share a full hall bath with new tub surround, and 2 staircases to the 3rd floor, where there are three additional right-sized rooms. The entire 2nd and 3rd floor have brand new carpet throughout, and the owner has added closets so there is plenty of storage space as well! Outside you can enjoy almost 1.6 acres of wooded privacy, with plenty of room for outdoor activities and gardening. There is a large shed and plenty of parking for party-time! The home has a new roof (2019), newer heater and water heater (2018), replacement windows, replacement oil tank (2014), updated 200AMP electric, public sewer, and has been freshly painted. Come and write yourself into the next chapter of Chester County history!
