Property Description
The James Sorrell House, circa 1735. Own a piece of Chester County History! You'll enjoy unexpected modern conveniences in this lovingly RESTORED & tastefully UPDATED Pennsylvania Farmhouse. History abounds in this picture-perfect home that has been featured in Chester County Day three times! RECENT RENOVATIONS include a NEW CEDAR ROOF (with copper gutters & downspouts), UPDATED BATHS, a NEW FRONT PORCH (new foundation & decking), RE-POINTED STONE, and TWO NEW FURNACES for ZONED HEATING AND COOLING. The GOURMET KITCHEN features a SUB-ZERO fridge, VIKING professional series gas range, an apron-front farmhouse sink, & custom furniture-style island. The kitchen & adjacent dining room both feature deep windowsills and decorative (non-working) fireplaces - but the WIDE PLANK PUMPKIN PINE FLOORS and the living room GRAND HEARTH FIREPLACE (4' deep, 5' high, 10' wide) are the real show-stoppers! The cozy LIBRARY/ DEN is cable ready and features built-in bookshelves, a WET BAR & WINE FRIDGE, and adjacent powder room. Listen to songbirds while you enjoy the BEAUTIFUL GARDENS & PRIVATE YARD from the comfort of the three-season ENCLOSED PORCH. Stunning pumpkin pine floors extend to the second level where you'll find a peaceful master bedroom retreat with a walk-in closet and LUXURY, UPDATED MASTER BATH. Also on this level is a second bedroom & updated hall bath, plus a room currently used as an OFFICE/ LAUNDRY ROOM (could be Bedroom #5). On the third floor there are two more bedrooms & an updated bath. Downstairs, the DAYLIGHT WALK-OUT LOWER LEVEL offers more above-grade living space. The lower level rec room is cable ready & generously sized with sunny windows. The handsome stone-floored office has a separate entry and powder room. Are you ready for one more surprise? How about a WINE ROOM with a stunning "WINE GROTTO!" The yard & gardens are as special as the home, with mature, specimen plantings & perennials galore. Adding yet more character to the property is a SPRING HOUSE (working but not in use) complete with a BELL TOWER and POTTING/ GARDEN shed. The Oversized TWO-CAR GARAGE includes plenty of extra storage space. This exceptional, one-of-a-kind home is looking for the next stewards of its history, who will cherish it for years to come! NOT on the national historic register. Super-convenient location just minutes from Malvern & Paoli, King of Prussia, and all major commuter routes. PUBLIC WATER & SEWER; natural gas cooking & zoned newer HVAC.
