Property Description
This extraordinary historic farmhouse, built in 1769 by John Palmer, son of Moses Palmer, is a hidden gem. Tucked away down a tree-lined driveway, the farmhouse sits on over four acres of rolling land, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Unlike most historic farmhouses, this one isn't directly on the edge of a road, adding to its secluded charm. The farmhouse still retains many of its original features and architectural elements, showcasing its timeless beauty. As you approach, the front pond welcomes you, setting a serene tone. The original front door, located at the "back" of the house, features leaded glass windows, a testament to its historical significance. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a spacious and inviting living/dining room. Decorative encased beams adorn the ceiling, and two original fireplaces add a touch of old-world charm. The first floor boasts stunning hardwood floors that extend throughout, and the walls, an impressive 16 inches thick, speak to the farmhouse's solid construction. As you explore further, you'll discover the attic, which reveals the original tree trusses, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the past. A first-floor cooking fireplace, surrounded by hand-stamped brick flooring, adds to the character of the home. The farmhouse's layout currently features a smaller kitchen, a generous living/dining room combination, a den, and a sunporch on the first floor. Each of these spaces provides access to the backyard. The second floor houses four bedrooms, two of which have ensuite bathrooms and walk-up access to the attic. Additionally, the ground floor accommodates a summer cooking kitchen, a laundry area, and a powder room, all leading to a concrete patio. The property also includes a charming small barn and a pool house. Please note that the pool house is in disrepair and is being sold as is. Beyond the farmhouse itself, you'll appreciate the terraced backyard, which offers endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment. Located within the acclaimed Garnet Valley School district and conveniently close to shopping, restaurants, and the airport, this property presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. With its picturesque surroundings, exquisite architectural details, and the legacy of generations, this farmhouse is poised for restoration and ready to be cherished once again. Embrace the chance to own and appreciate this small piece of history today. Note: Because restoration is needed and this is a sale by an estate, we are offering the property in "As-Is" condition.
