Property Description

Rarely do you see a three acre property with such incredible privacy made possible by being surrounded by one hundred forested acres of township park land! Overlooking the Brandywine Valley and close to the Struble Trail, this property features a circa 1800 four bedroom, five bathroom home with a fabulous combination Three Car Garage and Pool House that was beautifully designed by Period Architecture. The house overlooks a picturesque Pond and Spring House. The current Entry into the home is by way of a covered flagstone patio into an 1800’s entrance room with open beam ceiling. The original cooking pots and beehive oven have been preserved. Housed in an addition, the fabulous newer Kitchen features beautiful quartz countertops and ample cabinet space. All of the stainless appliances are high-end. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a Breakfast Area with lofted ceiling, perfectly set under a Palladian window to capture the view. Two atrium doors access the expansive Deck which offers further private views of the Pond and Brandywine Valley. The Kitchen overlooks the Family Room with a cozy gas fireplace, ceiling fan, and lots of windows, perfect for enjoying the fabulous view. Off the Family Room is a Full Bathroom and a spiral staircase to the Primary Bedroom. The current entry also leads one to the antique part of the home. Here we find a Dining Room used by the present owners as a Sitting Room. This room features the original cooking fireplace, complete with the original crane. From the Sitting Room one proceeds to the home’s original Entrance Hall with front door and main staircase to the upper level. The Living Room features a fireplace and several south-facing, nine over nine windows which fill this room with natural light. Off the Living Room is a Library with book shelving and storage closet. It is important to note that all of the rooms on this level, including those in the antique section, feature nine foot ceilings - a rarity in antique homes of this vintage. Also note that all of the antique section’s floors feature the original wood flooring. At the top of the staircase is the Primary Bedroom Suite. Located here is a large room set in the home’s antique section that features a ten foot ceiling! Here is the convenient location for the home’s Laundry and accesses to a private deck overlooking the Entry and pool area. This space could easily house a Home Office or Dressing Room. The carpeted Primary Bedroom features five windows which offer fantastic views, access to the spiral staircase to the Family Room, and a ceiling fan. Off the bedroom is a large Walk-in Closet and the Primary Bathroom. Found here are “his and her” vanities, a shower, commode closet, and a Jacuzzi tub set under a Palladian window. Bedroom 2 has a fireplace and easy access to the Hall Bathroom. Bedroom 3 also has a fireplace and has an en-suite bathroom. On the third level is found Bedroom 4 which has a large cedar closet and access to the attic. There is also a Hall Bathroom. All of the home’s windows were either rebuilt and insulated or are new. The newer Pool House and Three Car Garage features a sitting area with a beamed ceiling and massive stone fireplace adjacent to the magnificently designed pool which is surrounded by a stone deck, stone walls, and stunning landscaping. The spacious c.1830 Stone Barn has two levels. The voluminous top level is currently used to house the owner’s car collection but also sports a basketball net. The lower level has sufficient storage space for lawn tractors and assorted equipment. There is also a large workshop that would be perfect for a woodworker. An additional stone building awaits your vision. Located in the sought-after Downingtown School District, this property is conveniently located for the commuter.
