Description

NEW JAN 2008: BACK ON THE MARKET: After 50 years of ownership by a skilled carpenter, this Chester County farmhouse is awaiting a new old house lover. It sits just north of Downingtown, within walking distance of the Brandywine's East Branch, and the Struble Trail. The oldest section dates from the mid- 1700's, and is comprised of the Living Room on the first floor, and a large bedroom on the second floor. In 1955, the owners added a kitchen, a dining room and a powder room on the first floor, and...NEW JAN 2008: BACK ON THE MARKET: After 50 years of ownership by a skilled carpenter, this Chester County farmhouse is awaiting a new old house lover. It sits just north of Downingtown, within walking distance of the Brandywine's East Branch, and the Struble Trail. The oldest section dates from the mid- 1700's, and is comprised of the Living Room on the first floor, and a large bedroom on the second floor. In 1955, the owners added a kitchen, a dining room and a powder room on the first floor, and two bedrooms on the second floor. Mr Wagoner, the owner, created all the built-in bookcases, and the moldings. He also built himself a three car garage and a workshop. You'll notice that the siding was never installed on the garage, so it could be called "unfinished", and keep the tax bill down. In fact, the total tax bill on this property is only $1500 per year! Make an appointment to see this property - you'll be happy you did so!
