This magnificent homestead was built during a time that demanded quality over quantity. The solid brick Federal home displays four double chimneys,eight fireplaces (each with it's own hand-crafted period mantel), high ceilings, plaster walls, original mortise/tenon woodwork and doors, original hardware, gleaming chestnut, heartwood pine, limestone floors and cast iron bake oven. It truly represents one of the finest remaining early American Federal Manor properties located in Southern Chester County. This pristine dwelling is presented via a portico through a front entry surrounded by a fan light above and flanking sidelights into a wide center hallway. Hand-made door locks display the seal of English Royalty. The formal main level embraces a living room, parlor, dining room and eat-in kitchen and is further complimented by a den/office, powder/laundry room. Upon ascending the terraced stairway, the second level reveals a foyer flanked by four generous bedrooms, each with a large lighted closet. The walk-up third floor attic is divided into two sections and also contains a smoke room. The signature hand print of the plaster craftsman is clearly visible above the smoke room door. To the rear of the residence is a wonderful tri-level 19th century stone and frame bank barn with electric and water service, upper level haymow and lower level stalls and six deep covered bays suitable for garage parking and ample storage. The well is conveniently located in the milkhouse. This residence is presented on 1.3 level acres with old shade, flowering specimen plantings and slate terraces. Conveniently located near hospital, shopping, YMCA and community park with walking trails. Easy commute to Delaware and major employment centers.
