Description
Welcome to a rare treasure tucked in the chester county countryside. this four-bedroom, two-bath historic home offers 2,660 square feet of living space on 4.3 acres of private, park-like grounds. known as the original mill keeper’s house, this 300-year-old stone and stucco residence was fully renovated to code in 2010 and has been further enhanced with many recent upgrades, including a fully renovated kitchen, new well pump and water filtration system, new boiler, new water heater, and fresh interior paint throughout much of the home.
the property invites you into a lifestyle of serenity and timeless beauty. enjoy two spring-fed ponds, one with a brand-new fountain that adds gentle sound and movement to the landscape. explore landscaped gardens, a half-acre fenced pasture, and a historic pitcher well pump just off the elevated deck—all combining to make the grounds feel like your own private retreat.
inside, you’ll be charmed by refinished original wood floors, exposed stone walls, hand-hewn beams, and the home's original stone chimney, now the backdrop to a cozy gathering room with a gas-fired wood stove.
the detached two-car garage includes additional rooms perfect for storage, workshop space, or creative use, along with three additional dedicated parking spots on a newly poured crushed stone driveway.
additional features include a new sump pump, electric service with generator transfer switch, separate electric service for the garage, and a septic system that was recently pumped, serviced, and professionally inspected.
located just minutes from the octorara reservoir, with opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and peaceful nature walks, this is more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary of history, beauty, and thoughtful living.
whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or someone who simply appreciates a truly one-of-a-kind property, the mill keeper’s house is ready to welcome you home.
