Want to live off the grid w potential to grow your own food, raise livestock, build additional structures, & even have space for solar panels? Historic 4BR, 2&1/2 half bath Fairbourne, nestled on 27.5 private acres of meadows, woods, old growth trees, perennial gardens w creek and spring-fed pond, is the place for you! Dating to circa 1730 w additions in the 1780s & 1950s, this classic Pa farmhouse offers graciously sized rooms, high ceilings, 5 fireplaces, original architectural features, & handsome hardwood floors. Set off the road, entering the property provides a welcome oasis. The charming original smoke/springhouse will greet you on the left. Its interior maintains rustic beams, fireplace, & spring. The main facade of Fairbourne is elegant w a symmetrical four-bay Federal style configuration, grand porch w double door entrances, 9 over 6 true divided light windows, & original shutters w shutter dogs. Solidly constructed w a white stucco finish, it has a pitched roof & matching brick chimneys at the gable ends. The side elevation offers a view of the 3 periods of Fairbourne. The main structure is circa 1780, the middle section is the oldest from 1730 while the 1950s addition offers an oversized garage & 2nd floor living space. Entering the original structure via side porch, you will encounter what would have been the original kitchen (now DR) w walk-in fireplace, built-in cabinet & paymaster drawers. Notice the white pine random-width floors w an amber satin finish, which will be found throughout the home, many original. A galley kitchen with new stainless appliances and Corian counter tops has fine country views from the windows. There is also a washer and dryer hookup here & an additional one in the basement. The FR offers another walk-in fireplace, built-in bookcase, half-bath & door access to porch. The formal LR is elegant w ample windows, fireplace, matching built-in corner cabinets & its own door to the covered porch. The 2nd level provides a generously sized landing w fireplace, closet, Master BR w fireplace & 2/3 additional BRs, depending on use. The spacious attic is reachable through 1 BR/Den & ideal for storage or potential renovation. A full bath is off the hall which leads to an additional BR w its own dressing room. The oversized garage is accessible from the kitchen. A set of stairs leads from the garage to a separate quarters w 2 rooms & full bath, which could be a home office or in-law quarters. Opening a section of the wall would allow flow into the main home. Up the hill lies the stone barn ruins, which perhaps could be transformed into a 2-BR cottage, entertainment space w in-ground pool, barn, or other creative use. A prominent feature is the spring-fed pond, which is a habitat for a remarkable number of wildlife including frogs, turtles, dragonflies and fish. The dock is ready for summer days of relaxation & tranquility! The property is bordered by various old-growth specimen trees offering surprising privacy. The Clean and Green Act provides low taxes & there may be potential for a 2-lot subdivision, w Township approval. Wallace Township, home to the award-winning Downingtown School District, has 2 lovely parks. Wagenseller Park is a recreational area with ball diamond, tennis courts, basketball court & children s play area. Burgess Park & Hannum Woods is a natural setting w picnic areas, fire rings & is ideal for fishing.
