Originally established in 1800 as a dairy farm, this captivating Chester County property has been thoughtfully renovated with the ideal balance of old-world character and contemporary comfort. Set on a picturesque one-acre lot, the property features two distinctive buildings: a beautifully restored two-story stone bank barn with attached private residence and a charming single family cottage. The barn has undergone extensive updates, blending its historic features with modern functionality. Recent renovations to the barn include a brand-new kitchen and a full bathroom, elevating the space while retaining its original character. A standout feature of the barn is the third-story catwalk, which overlooks the open lower level, creating a unique sense of space and includes a dedicated workspace, ideal for a creative studio or home office. The barn also features unique rotating walls that allow the large space to be divided or shaped into what best suits your needs. The barn is equipped with a commercial-grade heating system to ensure year-round comfort, while the expansive basement offers plentiful room for storage, hobbies, or workshops, especially for car enthusiasts. Step outside to a private, fenced courtyard for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. Attached to the barn, yet separate and privately accessed, is a renovated two-bedroom, one-bath residence. This single story home has been renovated with the highest grade finishes, highlighting the craftsmanship in every detail. The chef-inspired kitchen boasts a gas range, double oven, new appliances, custom shelving and sleek stone countertops. The cozy living area centers around a Vermont Cast Defiant wood-burning stove, adding both warmth and character to the space. Throughout the property, reclaimed oak and wormy big heart pine floors, along with exposed wood beams, enhance its rustic elegance. The spacious bedrooms offer generous closet space, custom woodworking, and sliding doors. The laundry room is spacious and can double as a walk-in closet and storage area. A newly added front deck provides the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding Chester County countryside. The secondary residence, a single family cottage, offers a one-bedroom, one-bath retreat with a private fenced yard. The unique finishes, exposed original stone and found features blend seamlessly with the updated amenities throughout. The open floor plan includes a stylish kitchen, dining area, and a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy atmosphere. Attached to the cottage is a two-car garage that currently serves as a glass-blowing studio, providing an ideal creative space. Whether you're an artist, hobbyist, or someone looking for extra room to pursue your passions, this flexible studio can be tailored to your needs. It can also easily be returned to a standard garage area. For those with a green thumb, the property also features fruit-bearing peach trees, a variety of berries, and native paw paw trees. Additional highlights include ample parking, easy access to nearby Marsh Creek State Park, and convenient proximity to local restaurants and major highways. Whether you’re seeking a unique home with potential for rental income, a live-work space, or simply a peaceful retreat, this property offers modern comforts, limitless potential, and a rich sense of history.
