This is it- the one you have been waiting for. Modern updated elegance combines with old world charm in this gorgeous 6 bed, 3.5 bath circa 1790 farmhouse located on 1.8 acres in Downingtown School District across the 15th tee in Applecross Country Club. Meticulously cared for and maintained, the character of an old farmhouse is evident throughout- from the wrap around porch , the deep window sills, the built ins, the curvatures of the walls, and the turn of the century refinished plank hardwood floors. However, all the modern conveniences are here too that one would expect in a newer home. The construction design combines the renovated original farmhouse seamlessly with a modern addition. The first floor features a large modern family room with wall of windows ,recessed lighting, and tiled floors. There is an office off of the family room- perfect for remote working or learning but yet still in the middle of it all. The family room opens up to an expansive kitchen with tiled floor, espresso cabinets, stainless appliances, large island, under cabinetry lighting , and granite counter tops. The breakfast room is off the kitchen as well as a walk in pantry and powder room. Also on this floor is a combined living and dining room featuring an original fireplace, refinished turn of the century wide plank floors, and built ins for storage, and gas fireplace. There is also a large den/game room perfect for game night with included pool table. There are 2 staircases to the 2nd floor- the staircase on the original side leads up to 3 bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, a full bath and a large laundry room with work area. Travel down the hallway through a brick archway to the "new " side of the house easily accessed from the 2nd staircase as well. Here you will find a 4th generous sized bedroom as a well as large master suite with two walk in closets and master bath. The 3rd floor "suite" is the 6th bedroom and third full bath . Storage space is plentiful with ample closet space, a garage, and two basements- the original has interior access . The current owners spent 10K on a full basement waterproofing system with transferrable warranty. The other basement is through the bilco doors. Outside, enjoy entertaining from your wrap around porch overlooking a relatively flat 1.8 acres of land or relax on your patio or in your gazebo , which has electric , or tending your garden or by the fire pit which is built around the original "summer kitchen". Recent upgrades by current sellers equals 100K+. Some upgrades previously not mentioned include"pointing" the stone exterior, porch restoration including new porch roof, a radon system, a generator with hookup, flooring, paint, and water softener. There is also a newer 4 zone energy efficient HVAC system and the entire plumbing and electrical system have been redone within the past 10 years. NO HOA fees but walking distance to Applecross amenities and minutes from schools, parks, and shopping - this gem is move in ready and just waiting for it's new owner.
