Welcome to 1690 Yellow Springs Road — a piece of Chester Springs history! Set in the heart of the charming 140 acre Yellow Springs Village, the historic Rosato House blends the character and craftsmanship of its 18th and 19th-century origins with the comforts of modern living. The original portion of the house dates to about 1750 with the upper floors coming in the 1850s, this gracious 4-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath home has been thoughtfully restored while preserving the details that make it so unique. From your first steps into the entryway, the home’s timeless character shines through, with beautiful hardwood floors, original millwork, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows. The inviting main level flows between the sitting room, living room, dining room, and kitchen, while three covered porches provide wonderful spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The lower level features an 18th century stone fireplace dating to the Revolutionary War era. Outside, the historic steam house remains, now thoughtfully repurposed as a garage offers additional storage space. Between the 140 acres of preserved land and the small town of Yellow Springs, this home offers the type of community and relaxation that is hard to find.
