Since 1772 this homestead has been a part of Hereford Township, with stone bank barn, three pastured areas, and spring-fed koi pond. A wonderful addition was architecturally designed to incorporate the summer kitchen into the structure, which brings an open-plan great room with solid cherry floors, wood-burning fireplace and plentiful light. The attached custom-cabinetry kitchen has vaulted ceiling, quartz counters and gas cooking. An appropriately placed eating area sits adjacent to the original farmhouse with original wood flooring that carries into the formal dining room with fireplace and living room with built-ins. The focal point of the summer kitchen is the characteristic walk-in fireplace, with storage above. Two stair cases lead to the second level, the primary suite with vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, Brazilian cherry flooring, and attached bath. Original hardwood floors flow through the additional three bedrooms with open beams; hall bath and convenient laundry area complete the upstairs. Stunning touches of exposed stone are appropriately placed throughout the home along with original fixtures on doors. Presently-blooming gardens surround the home and envelope the Trex deck with pergola, with views of the massive maple tree, barn built in the late 1800 into early 1900's, and pastures. The back pasture is accessible by a well maintained path and is shaded by mature landscape and has RAM fencing. Two of the three pastures are electrified by solar power. A shed by the koi pond used to be an art studio and has electric. The roof of the home and barn are more recently replaced with black metal. Four horse stalls with fans and wash area below, reinforced floors above for storage and hay, as well as a garage space with finished area above (450 sq ft), great for office or studio. Property is in Act 319 for tax preferential assessment. Beautiful and practically designed in structure and landscape, such a timeless property!
