Regarding its historic charm, the property was originally deeded by William Penn to Thomas Hillborn in 1702, whose Quaker family would go on to open their home as safe haven as a part of the Underground Railroad during the 1840s and 1850s. More recently, the property has seen a number of investments in order to preserve and enhance this wonderful home, including a complete rewiring of the house, full resurfacing and painting of the interior drywall and plaster, exterior masonry including repointing of the house’s beautiful stone and replacement of the side patio, roofing work including replacement of the dormers and chimneys, replacement of the rear bilco door, and hardscaping/landscaping improvements including new driveway gravel and removal of ivy/wisteria and 4 large trees.
