Welcome to a special farmhouse home with incredible warmth! Cozy, inviting, and everything you want for comfortable country living!With great privacy, the heart of this neat 1900 National Folk style home is a log cabin. In all, this four bedroom, two-and-a-half bath house with two fireplaces features expansive work/studio/home-gym space off the primary bedroom, an up-to-date high-end kitchen, beamed ceilings, artisan woodwork and hardware, and a mix of beautiful wood floors and wall-to-wall carpeting throughout. With a two-car garage, in-ground pool, barn, chicken house, maintenance shed, and fenced in pastures this property has it all for the right family. It has hot water/steam heat, private well water and on-site septic. All together it is a 3,000 square foot, above-grade, expertly finished house on 8.9 acres with affordable taxes. The U-shaped driveway allows for easy-in, easy-out parking in the highly-regarded Avon Grove School District.There is lots of attention to detail. The oldest part of this unique farmhouse features log cabin-chinked walls. Lovely primitive yet functional hardware adorns doors like on the 1720 front door with strap hinges that leads to a spacious foyer with new skylights installed in 2021. Heated floors in the kitchen, mudroom and baths add extra warmth. Hardwood floors in living room and dining room, wall-to-wall carpeting on the stairs and upstairs halls pull it all together. Beside the radiant heated floors, the mudroom has a washer/dryer, sink, half bath, large closet storage spaces, laundry chute from upstairs, a small refrigerator and separate entrance to the barn. The house has many other neat features including the use of reclaimed chestnut barn wood for the two-tiered kitchen island and the aforementioned wood beamed ceilings throughout much of the ground floor.Updated in 2020 with quartz countertops, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, five-burner Bosch propane stove and gourmet-style double Thermador electric oven, the kitchen also comes with an LG refrigerator with French doors and lower pullout freezer. There are great views overlooking fields from the kitchen sink area, a designated coffee area with a beautiful tile wall, backsplash and bar sink, craft cabinets and a host of other features lovingly updated over the last 17 years.Two wood-burning fireplaces: one in the living room and one in the family room provide added warmth and ambience. There is a propane fireplace in the dining room.The heating is curated by a five-zone oil heating system and old fashioned radiators. The cellar in the old part of the house and basement in the newer section hold the physical plant. New dining room sliding doors lead to a concrete patio and private pool area overlooking the property and presenting great views.Morning sun warms a comfortable country porch overlooking a spring-fed pond anchoring one of the pastures. Moreover, the comfortably chic porch has new beams and a stained bead-board ceiling illuminated with high-hat light fixtures. A ceiling fan, white stained shiplap walls and trim add great modern style. Some of the other new touches include a new black metal roof on the porch, new GAF shingles on rest of the house, as well as new gutters and downspouts. The swimming pool, with pastoral infinity-like views, was re-plastered in 2021 and includes new tile and coping.The grounds have mature, low maintenance plantings. Current bee-keeping operations could be picked up by new owners.
