Description

Welcome to this charming 1830’s Farmhouse nestled in the heart of the sought-after Rose Tree Media School District. Sitting on a generous .77-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home blends historic charm with modern convenience. It is very spacious throughout and boasts 2,988 interior square feet. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious Living Room with exposed beams and two fireplaces. The cozy fireplaces are located on opposite ends of the room and provide such a warm ambiance which is ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. An ample Dining Room with hardwood floors and an antique Franklin Stone is perfect to host loved ones or holiday meals. Conveniently located off of the Dining Room is the Eat-In, Country Kitchen. The Kitchen has everything you need from modern appliances (dishwasher, electric oven & refrigerator) while maintaining its farmhouse charm with rustic cabinetry and plenty of counter top space. There is a quaint nook for eating surrounded by a wall of windows and deep window sills throughout the home which just embody the character of the farmhouse charm. The pantry, laundry area and half bathroom are located right off of the Kitchen. The main level also features a solarium complete with stone floors, windows galore and a hot tub which will stay with the home. Right off the Kitchen is a screened in porch which is a glorious place to eat and relax especially this time of year. The Upper Level features the primary bedroom with a decorative fireplace, two closets and plenty of windows which let in the natural sunlight. Two additional bedrooms, the spacious full bathroom and linen closet are also located on this level. The stunning spiral staircase leads up the third level of this home. A massive 4th bedroom awaits you, along with a bonus room which could be a 5th bedroom if desired, currently it is being used as a craft room. There is a walk-in attic area for storage on the 3rd level as well. A partial unfinished basement hosts the mechanics of the home and wonderful news is there is a brand new boiler (September 2024) and water heater (2022). Also for added peace of mind a one year America's Preferred Home Warranty is included with the sale of this home! This home has been well maintained and lovingly cared for over the years by these owners. It is rare to find such a wonderful lot with a flat yard in such a popular location. Even though it is located in a busier area, the trees surrounding the edges of the property provide privacy. The driveway is accessed off of Van Leer Ave and can park about 8 cars if needed. There is also a detached barn which is in need of repair and is being sold as-is. This charming and spacious farmhouse is located on an ideal lot and yet you’re just minutes from top-rated schools, parks, shopping and restaurants. This unique property combines the best of both worlds—historic charm and a fantastic location in one of the area’s top school districts. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of history with all the modern comforts you need.
