Property Description
Rarely does a home with this much historic character and in such superb condition come on the market! The original log portion of The Harlan Log House dates to the early 1700s, with subsequent additions in 1814, and an historically compatible new wing seamlessly added in 1990. The fact that the home is currently used as a B&B says volumes about its condition, character, and charm. The home is replete with original hardwood floors, period hardware, exposed beams, numerous fireplaces, and a new cedar-shake roof. The property consists of 5 idyllic acres, gracefully set well off the road, with a peaceful view from the covered back porch. The home's original pool has been converted into a koi pond but could easily be converted back. There is a historically fitting 2 car Garage along with an adjoining Garden House. There is also the original stone Spring House and barn foundation. The Harlan Log House is the quintessential Brandywine Valley historic home.
