Welcome to a truly special property tucked into the rolling countryside of Chester County. Resting on 4.3 private, park-like acres, this four-bedroom, two-bath home, known as the original Mill Keeper's House - offers 2,660 square feet of living space within a 300-year-old stone and stucco residence.
Rich in character yet carefully modernized, the home was fully renovated to code in 2010 and has seen even more recent improvements. Highlights include a renovated kitchen, new boiler, new water heater, updated well pump and water filtration system, and fresh interior paint throughout much of the home.
The setting is just as captivating as the home itself. Two spring-fed ponds, one newly enhanced with a fountain, create a peaceful backdrop, while landscaped gardens, a half-acre fenced pasture, and a charming historic pitcher well pump add to the property's unique character. An elevated deck offers the perfect vantage point to take it all in.
Inside, original details shine. Refinished wood floors, exposed stone walls, hand-hewn beams, and the home's original stone chimney bring warmth and authenticity, while a gas-fired wood stove creates a cozy focal point for gathering.
The detached two-car garage provides added flexibility with extra rooms for storage, workshop, or creative use. A newly installed crushed stone driveway offers three additional dedicated parking spaces.
Additional upgrades include a new sump pump, electric service with generator transfer switch, separate electric service to the garage, and a recently pumped, serviced, and inspected septic system.
Just minutes from the Octorara Reservoir, with easy access to fishing, kayaking, and scenic walking trails, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy history, privacy, and natural beauty in one exceptional setting.
Whether you're drawn to its story, its setting, or its sense of escape, the Mill Keeper's House is ready for its next chapter.
