Blending historic charm with thoughtful updates, the home features a substantial 1970s addition and a 2010 renovation that introduced a first-floor primary bedroom with a private ensuite Bath. Period details are found throughout, including original wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, deep windowsills, a large walk in stone fireplace, and a hidden “Betsy Ross” staircase leading to the second floor. The upper level offers three bedrooms, a full bathroom, an office with skylights and a beautiful exposed field stone wall , and access to a private outdoor deck. Modern improvements include newer windows (2010-2019), central air & HVAC (2024), water heater (10/25) & new roof (10/25) - providing comfort and peace of mind. Outside, a charming covered front porch invites you to relax and take in the scenery, with mature gardens and a flat, sprawling yard extending across the one acre property. An oversized two-car garage and plenty of off-street parking complete this idyllic country side setting. Don't miss the opportunity to make this truly authentic piece of Chester County history your home!
