Property Description

Welcome home to an exquisite and romantic circa 1812 historic Bank Barn and Carriage house that was transformed to accommodate the 21st century family. Horse carriages once used this house and it is now used as a two (2) bedroom, 2.5 bath lovely 2 1/2 story home. The main barn is inspired by its grand heights and soaring stone walls. Underneath, horse stalls once occupied this area, and it was used as an amazing workshop. The 2nd floor of the two-car garage is a finished and heated/cooled 2nd floor that now serves as an up-to-date office that can possibly be converted into an in-law suite. This area connects the Porte Cochere to the barn. All of this on a neatly landscaped 1.17 acres that used to be part of the historic P.A.B Widener estate. The 1st floor has a glass and screen enclosed 3 season porch that serves as a delightful spot to just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The living room features a wood-burning stone fireplace with a custom carved wood mantel, exposed beamed ceiling, oak floors, deep windowsills, huge mirror, and recessed lights over the entry to kitchen. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2009 with radiant heat, Brazilian pecan floors, electric double oven (warming oven below), 5-burner stovetop cooking, refrigerator, extensive polished granite counters with a subway style tile backsplash, built-in microwave, an abundance of storage cabinetry - some with glass doors and a light inside, deep copper sink, dishwasher, wine refrigerator, extra pantry and extra storage space. There is even an adjacent powder room with an awning window for convenience. The 2nd floor features the main bedroom suite including a landing with a large closet; full bath with a sparkling soaking tub and glass enclosed stall shower, ceramic tile floor and walls, towel warmer, beautiful sink cabinet, water-saver toilet, and radiant heat. The main bedroom offers two large rooms that are combined to create one large bedroom. This area can be used as a sitting area or office workspace and has a wall of closets with wall sconces. The 3rd floor staircase leads to airy bedroom under a roofline with plenty of closet/storage space, a window bench under a span of casement windows that overlooks the outside lawn, exposed ceiling beams, wall AC/Heat, private bathroom with shower stall, sink, ceramic tile floor and half wall, and a delightful pull-out closet for convenient storage. The basement is unfinished and offers high ceilings with a washer and dryer, double utility sink, storage space, 200 AMP electric panel (2009), oil-fired boiler with two zones (house and towel warmer) rebuilt in the fall of 2020, and above-ground 250 gallon oil tank. The barn is accessed from the side entrance through a custom split door through the mud room/sitting area that offers ceramic tile floor, deep walk-in closet, access stairs to basement, and a built-in floor-to-ceiling bar cabinet. From the mudroom/sitting area, you will access the BARN that is unheated. Climb the stairs to a grand space of the bank barn itself. The 2nd floor level is on one side, and the other side is ground level through giant red doors. You can view a venture of extensive lawns and foliage. There is an unfinished gigantic attic that can possibly be transformed into living space. This home has a new septic system, public water, outdoor whole house generator, and Pella windows throughout. This is a home you will fall in love with because it is very private and yet so close to City life, shopping malls, restaurants, mass transit and major transpiration arteries.
