As you approach the house by a long, tree-lined winding drive you will appreciate the privacy and amenities this beautiful home has to offer. Sitting on over 7 acres in a quintessential country location, this fully updated farmhouse with five stall barn, riding ring, paddock, and swimming pool offers an oasis from today’s busy lifestyle. Enter the house into a gracious through center hall with views of the beautifully landscaped rear terrace. To your right is a large formal living room with fireplace and custom millwork. The formal dining room with wainscoting provides opportunity for more structured entertaining. These rooms are adjacent to a spectacular kitchen and family room, highlighted by cathedral ceiling and iron trusses. This comfortable and stylish space provides the open concept that is so popular with today’s buyers. The kitchen is a chef’s delight with stainless steel Thermador appliances, including a six-burner gas range. There is generous counter space and an island with breakfast bar. The family room boasts a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wall of windows which infuse the space with natural light. A large main floor laundry room with plenty of storage is just off of the kitchen. There is a cozy den adjacent with built-ins, a family entrance with a very large mudroom with stone floor and a convenient powder room. A useful library with more built-ins and bar area is also found on this level, providing even more space for work from home or relaxing. Finally, a much sought-after main floor master bedroom with ensuite newly remodeled bath and private hallway finish the first floor of the house. The second floor features three newly carpeted, generously proportioned bedrooms and a hall bath. The outdoor features of this property are spectacular. A large pool perfect for swimming laps and multiple patios with plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing with friends and family surround the exterior of the house. A dedicated powder room has outside access. These spaces feature beautiful landscaping and views of the surrounding countryside and imbue the property with a calm serenity. Perfect for horse and animal lovers is the newly rebuilt and refurbished barn with seven stalls, tack room, washroom, its own front porch, and two outdoor stalls. The barn has loft space ideal for storing hay. Two paddocks and a riding ring provide amenities for the horse enthusiast that make keeping your own animals easy. There is also a chicken coop, and two more utility sheds on the grounds. This is all surrounded by the horse trails that Chester Springs is known for. Very conveniently located in close proximity to the PA Turnpike, shops, dining, and award-winning schools. This is truly a special home on a fine piece of property, perfect for creating your own peaceful retreat. Showings begin on 9/7.
