Description

Countryside living at its finest in Chester County Nestled in privacy, set far back from the road on 14.9 acres, rests this exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath stone residence originating from around 1808, with subsequent thoughtful expansions. In 1991, an impeccable extension was seamlessly integrated into the home's structure, masterminded by Charles T. Okie, the offspring of the renowned R. Brognard Okie. This addition skillfully incorporates antique construction materials, harmonizing them with the original architecture to create a unified whole. The main level boasts a formal Living Room and Dining Room, both showcasing museum-caliber punch and gouge mantles, along with the authentic oak flooring and exquisite hardware that has endured the years. The Kitchen, an adroit recreation within an 1840 annex, now hosts top-tier appliances and tailor-made pine cabinetry. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a light-filled Breakfast Room, offering panoramic vistas of the lush gardens, salt H2O Pool, and surrounding fields. With exposed beams, a stone hearth fireplace featuring a crane, and generously proportioned wooden floors, the Family Room exudes character. The covered pergola, pool, and outdoor fireplace offers picturesque country views and ample space for hosting guests. Ascending the staircase reveals a splendid Primary Suite, complete with an impressive full Bath and a walk-in closet. Beyond the charming Williamsburg-inspired gardens, the residence boasts 5 functional fireplaces, custom-crafted Marvin windows, period lighting, and a 7-zone state-of-the-art propane heating system. Situated off the parking area stands a Guest Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, complete with a full Kitchen and Bath. The barn has heated two-car parking and has space for four stalls. The commanding stone barn ruin was restored years ago with stone pointing and capping to preserve its historic integrity as well as the stone spring house which has been rebuilt from the below the foundation to the roof which is situated down by the creek. The home also features a full basement and walk-up attic, offering additional storage space. Many recent upgrades include new roofs, septic and propane tank.
