Step back in time as you tour this exquisite Victorian farmhouse thoughtfully perched on a delightful 2.3 acre parcel with views of the rolling hills of Chester County. Enjoy the sounds of the nearby trickling creek from your large covered front porch that is just begging for sweet tea and rocking chairs. As you step through the solid wood front door with transom, you are greeted with 9 ft ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, delicately hand-painted wood graining trim, original hardware, and 5 ft windows that flood the home with natural light. The arched doorway and the three-window bay area of the dining room provide so much beautiful detail all in one space! The living and dining areas are quite impressive in size, so this is surely to be the gathering place for friends and family. Preparing meals will be a delight in this bright and cheery kitchen with built-in pantry cupboard, pressed tin ceiling, and real wood cabinetry, and there is still plenty of room for an island or table. New vinyl flooring flows throughout the kitchen and into the large powder room, the laundry room with storage, and the additional mudroom hallway, providing an abundance of functional space that is so rare in a home of this age! The piece de resistance of the first floor is the cozy den, rich with wood paneled walls (wood was milled from trees on the property), and beamed ceiling. The fireplace wall is floor-to-ceiling pointed field stone with a massive wooden beam mantel and two glass block windows flanking the central hearth. From here you can also access the deck that allows quiet enjoyment of the open field and mature trees across the property. When it is time to retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle, you can retire to the main bedroom suite via your private staircase from the den. This thoughtful sanctuary comes complete with an updated full bath with walk-in shower, office area or dressing room, and linen closet. You can also access the second floor with the front staircase with solid oak Victorian carved newel post, balustrade, and rail. Two additional large bedrooms with even more beautiful detailing, like paneled doors with ornate handles and hinges, and a full hall bath complete this level. The third floor has a lovely Victorian period arched window, original hardwood flooring, and can easily be finished as a 4th and 5th bedroom offering an additional 400+ sq ft of living space! The oversized detached three car garage offers a large work/storage space, and the outdoor fireplace, fenced-in garden area, and access to a branch of Pigeon Creek make the outdoor space just as appealing as the indoor space! Public sewer, well water, and the updated electrical and just a few more reasons to end your search here. This truly gorgeous property is stunning both inside and out, so don't miss your opportunity to make this home your own.
