Step into a piece of history with this enchanting circa-1700s Chester County farmhouse, a true gem for lovers of period architecture. The deep, curved windows, wide-plank wood floors, and elegantly turned stairway highlight the home's character and charm. Nestled in the historic "Grove Village," the property features vibrant perennials and trees, all enclosed by a charming fence. Relax on the large slate patio, a perfect spot to soak in the natural beauty before entering the home. Inside, you’ll find a blend of historic elegance and modern convenience. The kitchen, with its exposed wood beams and welcoming nooks, boasts newer appliances. It flows seamlessly into a dining room adorned with custom-built cabinetry, and a cozy living room complete with a wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the second floor radiates old-world charm with its batten doors and deep-silled windows, featuring cozy bedrooms that invite relaxation. The spacious walk-up attic reveals flooring planks marked with Roman numerals, a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Lovingly maintained, the home features a newer kitchen and bathroom, refinished hardwood floors and recently painted interior and exterior as well as a modern security system. You will also find newer cedar shakes on the lower roof, and new masonry stairs from the basement. Two banks of woodsheds offer ample storage, and a potter's shed is a delightful addition for gardening enthusiasts. You will appreciate the new clothes washer and dryer and as a bonus the owner is prepared to leave most of the furniture. Don’t miss the chance to own this unique and special home—it could be the perfect fit for your dream lifestyle! PHOTOS TO BE POSTED BEFORE 10/5.
