Presenting "Ivystone" ? a unique converted bank barn adjacent to the Borough of West Chester with quick access to major highways. Its vintage craftsmanship has been lovingly maintained by the owners. The home, along with the carriage house, was built around 1827 and sits on one acre of ground with gorgeous landscaping and an in-ground pool that was just opened and is ready for summer fun!! Beyond the pool is a wooded area where you'll find an authentic stone Grotto. As you enter the enclosed courtyard you'll notice the original stonework, stone arches and brick walkway as you approach the front door. Right inside is a large flagstone foyer with two-story windows. The first floor consists of a large bedroom/office, second bedroom with bath, laundry area with new cabinets and a large open room with new hardwood floors (2014), a fireplace and double doors to the outside patio made of Italian Marble. Upstairs is a more traditional layout. There is a spacious living room with stone fireplace and dining area, a master bedroom with exposed wall and bath which was recently remodeled (2010) with granite countertops, tile flooring and a jetted tub. The large eat-in kitchen/family room opens to a large deck overlooking the fenced-in yard with luxurious pool, gazebo, potting shed and cabana. On the third level of the home is a large open space ? ready to be finished - with exposed beams, beautiful floor boards and casement windows; it's currently used for storage but has great potential to be a spectacular living area. The detached carriage house, with exposed beams and beautiful stonework, can hold 4 cars. There's also a loft area above which could be renovated for an in-home office, studio, guest area, etc. (Check with Township for possibilities.) The layout of this home with its flexible floor plan would enable you to have an in-law suite or separate living quarters on the first floor, if desired. This home is part of the North Hill Civic Association and if you choose to join ($150/year) you may use their lake for swimming and be included in neighborhood social events. This wonderful property ? with its outstanding architectural features and beautiful grounds - has unlimited potential to be the historic home of your dreams!
