This magnificent home is not only breathtaking but a veritable blast from the past: welcome to 1738! The three story Fieldstone farmhouse has been meticulously updated to blend old world charm and character with today`s must-have amenities. Nestled next to old growth trees on 3.54 acres of prime Horsham Township land, this 4,920 square ft residence is the focus of the exclusive Foxtail Farm subdivision, which has a total of six homes, three of which are million dollar properties. The home features enchanting period details, most of them original, including deep windowsills, seven fireplaces,, exposed wood beams, random width old pine flooring, elegant painted cabinetry and many windows with wavy, float glass panes. Entering the stone section of the home through it`s red front door, you will be greeted by a comfortable staircase leading to the second floor. To the right is a family room that will take your breath away. It features exposed wood beams, a hardwood floor, built-in bookcases, a massive walk-in fireplace with the remnants of a beehive oven and original wrought iron hardware to hang the cooking pot, and a very rare wash stone windowsill that allowed waste water from cleaning food and game to flow outside the home. Next to the family room is the large updated country kitchen with an integral breakfast nook surrounded by large windows on three sides. It features plenty of counter space, hardwood flooring, a skylight over the double sink, S/S appliances, including double wall ovens, a gas cooktop with integral exhaust fan, and a butcher-block island with wine fridge and an under counter microwave in addition to central drawers. Accessible from the kitchen is a formal dining room with its own exterior door, hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, elegant fireplace mantel and built-in hutches. A hallway from the dining room leads to a quaint powder room featuring an imported, hand painted pedestal sink and tapestry mirror framing an 18th century street scene. To the right at the end of the hallway, past a spacious, two door coat closet, is a small office with a built-in desk, bookshelves and elegant chandelier. The far end of the office marks the start of the 20th century addition, which features a grand formal living room with its own front door, central chandelier, hardwood floor, deep window sills and multiple lit window panes, in keeping with the style of the 18th century portion of the house. At the front rear of the living room is a Dutch door leading to a stone floored and screened back porch.A second staircase off the living room leads to the master bedroom suite. Entering the master bedroom for the first time is an extraordinary experience. The lofty, vaulted, two story ceiling features clearstory windows on three sides, exposed beams, an elegant, reversible ceiling fan, a central fireplace on a wall of built-in bookshelves and hardwood floors. Exiting this bedroom toward the front of the house leads to a good sized, windowed and tiled bathroom with imported, hand painted double sinks, wrought iron style ceiling and sconce light fixtures, a tiled stall shower and sliding door access to a small changing room.Walking through the bathroom back into the original portion of the house leads to a large dressing room with original pine floors, a sealed fireplace and closet. The balance of the original second floor consists of three spacious bedrooms, each with random width pine flooring, a fireplace and at least one closet. The bedroom facing the front of the house has its own half bathroom while the other two share a large common bathroom served by a connecting central hallway. This well lit bathroom is fully tiled and boasts a laundry area ( with small closet ) followed by a section including a jetted tub, sink, , stall shower and two additional closets. The third floor features two large bedrooms with a shared bath with a clawfoot tub. These two bedrooms and bath are not updated. Close to shopping and major roads
