From the award winning architect and builder to the myriad of local craftsmen that built this very special, timeless home no detail has been overlooked. Situated on 16 picturesque acres this 3-story beauty evokes the classic detailing found in 18th century Chester County farmhouse designs. Pennsylvania fieldstone and cedar-beaded siding combine with varying roof lines to create the illusion of a home that has been added to over the years, a feature that often characterized farmhouses of that period. Details such as operating cedar shutters, hand-crafted hardware and the application of brick and granite on porches, terraces and one of three chimneys, all contribute to the home's authentic appeal. The magnificent hand-hewn mahogany door has custom nails and salvaged strap hinges, latches and hardware. It opens onto a three-story reception hall featuring a continuous mahogany railing along the turned staircase. A traditional floor plan includes a fireplace in every first floor room and the formal living room and dining room on either side of the foyer. The spacious kitchen and adjoining family room is the heart of the home. The kitchen features a large island and raised hearth fireplace which opens through to the dining room. The wide doorway opens to the family room with a walk-in fireplace true to historical detail. The rear of the room sports a dramatic two story window wall set in a uniquely designed alcove. Commissioned hand blown glass sconces are the crowning jewel of this spectacular room. The all season porch overlooks a herringbone brick terrace, spa, pool, fountain and south-facing sloped yard. A winding rear staircase leads to a suite of bedrooms and guest bedroom. The area also includes a loft used as a computer area and overlooks the family room's arched alcove. A library with cherry cabinetry separates this wing from the master suite which features windows on three sides, gas fireplace, jetted tub, marble shower and spacious walk-in closet. The third floor has 2 more rooms and a large unfinished storage area. The finished walk-out basement is complete with a game area, media space, full bath and a wine closet.
