Property Description
Come and see country living at it finest! This charming and quaint farmhouse, circa 1751 is 268 years old. The home was built with artisanal craftsmanship no longer available by today's standards. You can still see and feel the craftsmanship throughout the entire home. From the stone fireplaces, to visible carpentry marks in the hand-hewn wooden beams. The home has changed hands and purposes over the years and according to public records was an Inn at one time. This home existed at the time of the Revolutionary War and the story goes that at some point in the 1700 s, then General George Washington who commanded the Continental Army may have stayed here. This is a storied farmhouse with all the character and charm of the days gone but also has all the modern amenities of newer home. 3 bedrooms and one full bath on 2 beautiful acres. Private driveway, fenced in yard, fireplaces in most rooms, original hardwood floors throughout, detached 2 car garage, as well as beautiful architectural ruins of the original farmhouse barn. An in-ground concrete pool with new filtration system also adorns the property and offers a place to cool off in the summer to entertain family and friends. Nature lovers and anyone seeking a private, peaceful place to get away from it all when they come home will fall in love with this one of a kind beauty. Since purchased by the current owner, improvements and upgrades include; New windows through out, New wood stove insert in living room and new free standing wood stove in family room. Natural screen planting of 40 trees and scrubs . All chimneys pointed and capped . Whole house surge protector installed. Electrical brought up to code. New appliances throughout the house. This home is situated perfectly in the countryside with access to major roadways, close proximity to local schools and not far from historic Kennet Square, Longwood Gardens, Maryland, Philadelphia, etc
