If you're yearning for the charm of an old house visit the "John Hannum Tenant House" ? a Chester County Day home located on a quiet road but convenient to major roads, schools and parks. The yard - with huge old maple, holly, locust and black walnut trees - is partially fenced; original spring house ruins can be seen in the wooded area. Typical of many Chester County homes this one was built in 3 stages; the earliest (from the late 18th c.) is today the large Dining Room with walk-in fireplace and the oven. The adjacent room ? now the Living Room ? was built in the mid-19th c and has original wide-plank floors, curved window surrounds with wide window sills and built-in cabinets and fireplace. A corkscrew stairway leads to bedrooms above. The newest part of the house (1940's) contains the kitchen entered from a large porch overlooking the spacious lawn. There are a total of 4 bedrooms (2 w/fireplaces) and 2 full baths upstairs. In addition there is a finished lower level which has a private two-room suite with fireplace, kitchenette and full bath. This area, although connected to the rest of the house, also has its own entrance so could be an in-house office, apartment, in-law suite, etc. (This area is not included in square footage.) The inside has been recently painted and has gorgeous hardwood floors ? some tongue and groove, some random width ? most recently refinished. Architectural details such as original hardware and woodwork have been preserved. All 5 fireplaces are working. Public water and gas are located in the street and could be connected to this house. HOME WARRANTY included. NOTE: The 28 acre farm across the street is in a Township Natural Trust and will not be developed. Its owner's intention is to restore the historic homestead. Seller is a licensed Pa. Realtor.
