An Icon of St. Matthews Road! This Chester Springs Historic 18th Century Farm House with spring house and pond opens its doors to a new owner. The seller bought the home over 40 years ago because it was one of the few farm houses available at that time that still showed much of the untouched historic trades and original character so much appreciated by the seller. The wood floors are original in the stone portion of the home, most of the interior woodwork is untouched, the mantels and cupboards are exceptional, all locks date from the 18th and 19th century. During their stay, the property was maintained and improved by 18th Century Restoration, the Antiquarian, Monroe Coldren and stone mason Rollin Hoskins. The electric was updated to 200 Amps for the house and 100 Amps for the summer kitchen. The heating system has a summer and winter hook up. There is a special water tank installed to offer plenty of hot water for the demand of a modern family. A brand-new septic system is installed and also a new well. A brand new radon mitigation system was just installed as well. Four fireplaces and many hidden treasures like a floored attic with a cedar closet and a walkout basement with plenty of dry and clean storage space make this a great place to live. The screened in porch offers a beautiful view over the backyard with its charming spring house and pond. There is even a large wagon shed (which has been expanded throughout the years) on the 4.8 acres of land, and you can take advantage of the two horse farms adjacent to this property that will welcome you to board horses and/or ponies.
