A beautiful stone colonial farmhouse on a large property in the Brandywine Valley, this home is one of a limited number of offerings of its kind. Located within one of the most scenic areas in Chester County, it also provides quick access to West Chester, Downingtown, Exton, Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. The lovely stone house features a gorgeous circular brick entrance patio, pointed stone, and original hardwood floors throughout. Meticulous effort was made to restore the home in the traditional style - right up to the colonial Williamsburg paint colors. Custom wainscoting, chair rails and cabinetry with period hardware all add to its charm and unique beauty. There are four fireplaces and the largest is a charming walk-in hearth from the home’s 1760 origin. A beautiful original barn adds to the appeal, with a tack room and grooming area, four stalls and open area, and covered sheds for multiple additional horses or other animals. The barn was completely re-roofed in 2022 with traditional cedar shakes. Other buildings include a three-car garage and a lovely original stone springhouse at the property’s entrance. The home's other amenities include two riding rings, a picturesque woodland lake (bring your fishing poles!) and two streams providing water to each of the three main pastures. Within the property are many riding trails with equestrian jumps. Sunset views over rolling pastures complete the experience of living in this amazing home. It's ready for those who love horses and nature – and want to be in a beautiful location in the country with easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
