About this home
Experience the timeless allure of a 26-acre equestrian estate anchored by an extraordinary 1775 fieldstone home. Nestled along a tranquil, nearly half-mile-long tree-lined driveway, this meticulously preserved property offers a picturesque and serene approach, unveiling a living piece of history that seamlessly blends 18th-century charm with modern amenities. At the heart of the estate stands the 8,500-square-foot home, proudly showcasing its original features: American plank Chestnut floors, hand-forged hinges, 1735 outdoor summer kitchen, four wood-burning fireplaces, and a slate roof complemented by all copper gutters and downspouts. With 5+ bedrooms and 4.5 vintage bathrooms featuring Moravian tile, the residence exudes character. The grand hall's crown molding and built-in bench seating, along with the splendid family room painted ceiling medallion, highlight the home's historic elegance. Sunlight dances through a mesmerizing sunroom with bay windows, offering stunning views of the property, while the dining room’s built-in cabinets and bay window enhance its warmth. A kitchen designed with practicality includes industrial-sized sinks, a walk-in pantry, and classic tiling. Ascending to the second floor, you'll find five spacious bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and breathtaking views. The third floor offers additional charm with a library, vaulted ceilings, and storage room with a cedar closet. The lower level, spanning the home’s footprint, holds a laundry area and provides endless opportunities for customization. The main house also includes robust 400-amp electrical service. Outdoors, a circular driveway leads to a 6-car garage with guest quarters above, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, 1.5 baths, and barn-style doors. The estate’s allure extends beyond the main house. A separate 18th-century fieldstone cottage has a terra cotta tile roof, perfect for guests seeking privacy, includes a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, and a sunroom. The summer kitchen and carriage house, also fieldstone, add to the estate's rich character, with the carriage house featuring a classic slate roof and additional historic charm. The sprawling grounds offer serene beauty with a meandering stream, pristine landscaping, a greenhouse, an outdoor kitchen, and an artist studio. Equestrian enthusiasts will revel in the magnificent bank barn, complete with nine horse stalls, a heated washroom, two tack rooms, and a caretaker’s quarters. The barn’s upper level offers versatile finished spaces, while indoor and outdoor riding arenas and multiple paddocks complete the equestrian amenities. This enchanting property, brimming with history and character, provides unmatched privacy while remaining a short drive from restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Ideally situated near parks, the Reading Airport, and within reach of Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and New York, this estate is a rare gem waiting to continue its storied legacy. This property is subject to an agricultural conservation easement and is enrolled in the Clean & Green program. Come see this historic treasure for yourself and make it your own.
