Property Description
Come home to serenity when you drive into this permanently preserved, 22+ acre farm in Worcester Township, offering breathtaking views overlooking a calm, peaceful pond, surrounded by lush, green, open space. Enjoy your 3000 sq ft, charming, original, lovingly maintained farmhouse. It’s rich in history, built in 1744 by well-known landowner Peter Wentz for himself. Endless possibilities await you. A 6700 sq ft barn is the jewel among the other 5 smaller buildings that could be used for horses, farming, agricultural production, yoga, a hobbyist’s workshop, parties, games or anything else you can imagine. The gorgeous grounds offer the ability to farm, plant an orchard, or grow your own vegetable garden while your horses, cows, goats, livestock or any other farm animals you choose (or not) graze across the expansive grounds and a variety of birds fly above. From the screened-in porch, enjoy your morning coffee, work from home, or entertain as you watch friends or family catch fish in the well-stocked sparkling pond. The bright exterior facade of the house is plaster over fieldstone. Original hardwood floors, custom millwork, exposed beams & 5 fireplaces w/original mantels all personify the character of this special home & pay tribute to the skill of the builder. The Entrance Hall features a coat closet, chair rail, exposed beam & stairs to the 2nd floor w/original newel post & rails. A spacious living room w/custom built-ins offers a stone fireplace. Gather in the connecting Family Rm w/ original stone fireplace w/wood stove insert (2021), built-in cabinetry & exposed beams. A formal Dining Room connects to the Kitchen and features a chandelier & chair rail. The country Kitchen has been updated but still features its original walkin fireplace with large pot included. Updates include center island w/butcher-block counter, seating for 3 as well as space for a small table, granite counters, newer Bosch stainless dishwasher, stainless self-cleaning electric oven & stove, microwave, wine shelves, refrigerator, coffee nook, exposed beam & ceiling fan. The Laundry Rm provides included washer & dryer plus 2nd refrigerator. Adjacent Powder Room offers pedestal sink. An original barn door from hallway opens to the gem of the home - the screened porch w/vaulted wood ceiling, ceiling fan/light, & pass-thru window from Kitchen, perfect for entertaining. You’ll experience tranquility here with a stunning panoramic view. The 2nd floor features 4 bedrms & 2 full baths worthy of a Bed and Breakfast. The spacious primary bedroom includes 2 walk-in closets & a charming brick fireplace w/rare “jamb stove,” (a 5-plate stove). The Full Bath serving this bedroom includes an updated stall shower (5 years) w/tiled surround, wood ceiling, & vanity. 3 additional sun-filled bedrooms share a Full Hall Bath w/soaking tub w/shower, vanity w/Corian counter, & wood beams. Stairs w/an original banister lead to a very spacious, ample storage space, floored Attic. The Basement includes Bilco exit doors, a newer oil furnace & hot water heater (both 2 years) & new water filter. Stroll on the bricked walkway to the various exterior structures, including a “Milk House” w/included workbench; an original stone interior “Pig House”, uses of which could range from playing Ping Pong to garden tool storage; a “Bake House” w/included portable generator; 2 open Garages w/multiple bays. Create your dream 2-story, 6700 sq ft Barn w/water, electricity, & w/a 1-story workshop addition. An additional 10 acres is available for an annual rent for any farming. Consider the possibilities w/a one-time ability to subdivide 2 acres for a family member or farm employee. This peaceful setting is conveniently located minutes from major routes (including PA turnpike) or to quaint Skippack Village. K of Prussia close & 45 minutes to center city Phila. Be close enough to the energy of other places but come home to a peaceful place that nourishes your soul.
