Step into centuries of history at this classic Pennsylvania farmhouse, circa 1809, with two thoughtful additions completed in the early 1900s. Set on 4.2 private acres in the East Nantmeal Village Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this home was lovingly restored 21 years ago - new windows, plumbing, and electric throughout - while preserving the soul of the original structure.
Layers of old horsehair plaster were painstakingly removed to reveal the stunning original stone walls found throughout the home's interior, while the exterior stone was cleaned and repointed. Wide-plank, random-width, re-claimed heart pine flooring runs through most of the house.
The heart of this home is its stunning gourmet kitchen - part of a bright, beautifully finished addition (approx. 12 years old) - featuring a large center island topped in granite, a farmhouse apron sink, and a suite of stainless steel appliances. Custom glass-front cabinetry, antique-style iron lantern pendant lighting, and white pine flooring ble
nd seamlessly with the home's historic character, while French doors off the kitchen open to a covered porch for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Above the kitchen, a massive room with soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams - currently used as an office - offers exciting flexibility - envision a primary suite, additional flex space, or a private retreat.
The original walk-in fireplace in the keeping room, along with the dining room fireplace, have both been relined and are in full working order, offering warmth and ambiance on cold winter nights. The great room's dramatic exposed stone accent wall is anchored by a propane gas stove, creating a stunning focal point that opens seamlessly to the kitchen.
The thoughtful floor plan includes a beautifully designed, accessible full bath off the kitchen and a convenient half bath near the stairs in the keeping room on the first floor, plus a full bath upstairs. Upstairs and on the third floor, charming original bedrooms offer character and flexibility, including potential for multi-generational or dual-family living.
Outside, enjoy two covered sitting porches, a storybook Japanese Magnolia tree,Crepe Myrtle trees, established peony gardens, and direct access to scenic bridle trails winding through the property and neighboring land. Equestrian and hobby-farm buyers will appreciate the four-car garage/barn with two horse stalls above and two below, open pastures (currently grandfathered for 3-4 horses),.
A separate stone cabin on the property - the oldest structure on site, dating to circa 1735, with a dramatic walk-in fireplace - offers exciting potential as a wine cellar or outdoor entertaining space for the right buyer. Only four families have called this property home since William Penn himself first conveyed the land - a rare continuity of stewardship that speaks to just how special this place is.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history - meticulously maintained, thoughtfully updated, and full of character that simply cannot be replicated today. Open House to start showings 9/17/26 4-7pm
