Property Description
If you think this “Carpenter's Gothic” Victorian stone farmhouse is charming in the pictures, wait until you see it in person! A master cabinetmaker has lovingly and meticulously rebuilt every detail of the house and barn to the exact proportions of the original, but with all the modern amenities. The original home was a one-room stone cottage built by German immigrants before the Revolutionary war. In 1867, the home was converted to a 2-story Carpenter’s Gothic Victorian. This beauty was restored, inside and out, from the studs up; from the original 2-foot-thick fieldstone walls that were sandblasted and repointed, to the standing-seam metal roof, to beautiful white oak and walnut floors, made from lumber harvested on the property, to the majestic 9’ high ceilings. A mansard slate roof with soldered-seam Philadelphia gutters, thirteen ships-wheel dormer windows, and colorful gingerbread trim complete the Victorian roofline - all of it rebuilt to the original pattern.. brand new & freshly repainted. Inside are dozens of creative, craftsman-made touches, like a china cupboard inset in the original deep-silled window (with float glass fronts), vintage Victorian hardware on the doors and built-ins, new molding and trim, and lots of extra pantries and storage shelves hidden behind custom cabinet doors. An 8’ high, full-sized basement has concrete floors and yards of shelf space. The kitchen features a SubZero refrigerator, Viking range and dishwasher, granite countertops, and custom cabinets made from ash lumber cut and milled on the property. The huge 32’ x 54’ three-story, chestnut-timber-frame bank barn is perfect as a party venue, agricultural building, vehicle storage, or additional space for your business or hobby. It was also rebuilt like-new over the original timber skeleton, from its restored stone foundation to the red metal roof. It is fully equipped with electricity, heat and running water, three parking bays large enough for vans, boats or tractors, plus a 12’ x 12’ farm office, an additional 12’ x 32’ art studio/ office, and a large apartment-sized room on the third floor with a unique cantilevered balcony that looks over the entire property. The ground floor of the barn has an enclosed, dry, concrete-floored “tack room” fitted out with cabinets, and three additional bays for farm equipment and/or animals. Also on the property is 30’ x 42’ two-car garage with an attached 600 sq ft. workshop, also with heat, electricity, and running water, and a full second floor for storage. A 12’ x 24’ canopy-covered RV port has a concrete pad and is fitted for electricity and water. Three Adirondack stables were built for alpacas and llamas, but are perfect for horses or other livestock. Two are 16’ x 24’, and the third is 12’ x 16’; all have concrete floors, running water, lights and ceiling fans. An additional large stone foundation awaits your best ideas for improvement (pool house? writer’s retreat?). Whether you dream of a small farmstead, a home business, or just the beauty of country living, once you cross the small stream at the bottom of the driveway, the “real world” falls away and you are the ruler of your own domain. The property is bordered by woods and streams that have been protected against development, with the waterway at the bottom border belonging to the Borough of Shillington. he views from the giant wraparound porch make it seem like you are the only house for miles, but a half-mile drive to Rt 222 can take you to Philly, NY, Allentown or local shopping hubs. Miles of hiking, biking or riding trails branch off from the circular driveway, and 8 well-tended acres of pasture are frequented by herds of deer Enjoy the fire circle with views for miles, and enough parking for all of your friends
