This 1747 brownstone home originally sat on 100 acres, spanning to the river banks. The property was granted by the King of England, given to William Penn, and eventually sold by William Penn's son. During the Colonial days, the house served as a "road house" where stagecoach travelers could stop for food, drink & a night's rest. Present day, the home sits on .5+ acre with beautiful hardwood trees (Southern Magnolia, a 40-ft Holly tree near the porch & pine trees border the road). The home is comprised of 3 floors and a cement floor walk-out basement. All the window sills are approx. 12" deep. The 1st fl includes a large living room w/original floor boards & 2 entrance doors, the eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar, and the sunroom with its own entrance. The 2nd Fl has 3 bedroom with original floor boards and the full bath. The 3rd Fl-attic space has 3 addt'l rooms. The home has an updated oil furnace, 200 amp elec panel, private well water, public sewer. The 4-car detached garage has a 2nd fl studio/loft area. The largest of the bays has a built-in engine hoist/trolley. The garage also has a forced air heat system if the new owner would want to heat this space. The storage shed is attached to the end of the garage outbuilding. This home exudes old world charm. Just minutes from all of today's conveniences. While the home is move-in ready, the kitchen & bath need updating. Property is being sold as is.
