Welcome home to 1551 Old Ridge Road (“The Samuel Shafer Mansion House”), nestled in the historic village of Coventryville! A historic village that crossed paths with Ben Franklin, General Washington, the Lincolns, and the Potts family of Coventry Forge. This is a rare opportunity to own a storybook estate with multiple buildings, including the 1800’s Main Residence; Cottage for guest/in-law suite; and refurbished Barn with dedicated workspaces --- all set on 5.6 picturesque acres of sweeping lawns, vibrant gardens, and tree-lined meadows. Plus an in-ground pool complex with cascading hot tub and oversized pool house!

The exterior accents on the main house were just painted, and the covered front Porch offers shaded comfort. Inside are antique pine and original wide wood flooring plus original trim work, built-ins, stonework, doors, cabinetry and hardware. The home showcases a spacious grand Center Hall; an oversized formal Dining Room with original fireplace and cabinet; and a remodeled Kitchen ideal for the home chef with: Wolf double oven & ceramic cooktop; GE Advantium microwave; Subzero fridge; quartz counters & backsplash; sit-up center island with farmhouse sink; custom cabinetry (designed to match the original); custom lighting; brick tile radiant heat floors; and the original walk-in cooking fireplace & pot crane.
