Farmhouse/National Folk

Built in 1895 on an expansive 1.89 acre lot sits an idyllic Chester County farmhouse with separate carriage house. The next lucky stewards of 501 Newtown Road will enjoy the high ceilings, gracious room sizes, hardwood flooring throughout, beautiful moldings, and two breezy porches. Get the best of both worlds: the charm of an older home with today’s modern amenities and updated plumbing, high efficiency windows, central air conditioning, and an updated electrical system. The first thing you will notice is the welcoming front porch, the perfect place to leisurely hang out during the warmer months. Enter through the original double front door to the center hall with a half bath tucked under the steps and a cozy fireplace with detailed ironwork. Flow into the formal living room with fireplace and ample windows, bathing the room in natural light. The eat-in kitchen features wood cabinets with granite countertops, gas JennAir range with grill, desk area and breakfast room with skylights. Through a cool dutch door is a sunny office, leading to the huge family room addition with built-in speakers and windows on three sides is ideal for game night or watching a movie. Some architectural details in this room are an exposed stone wall and embossed ceiling. The back door area includes a mudroom with slate flooring, a quaint window seat with storage, double coat closet and a half bath. Off the mudroom are French doors to a side covered porch for alfresco dining. Take either the front of back stairs to the second level which includes three full bathrooms and four bedrooms. (a fifth bedroom was converted into two large walk-in closets in the primary suite.) There are three nice-nice-sized bedrooms and two hall bathrooms, both with a shower/tub combo. The primary suite boasts an updated bathroom with double vanity and large shower with six heads/body sprays. A convenient second floor laundry room completes this floor.
