Historic character. Modern performance. An extraordinary 2.06-acre Chester County setting. Originally a 1950s kit house, this approximately 2,316-square-foot residence was extensively redesigned and rebuilt in 2012–2013 to resemble an authentic 19th-century Chester County stone farmhouse. The result is a remarkable blend of old-world character, exceptional craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design. Locally collected stone, antique-inspired grout, reclaimed doors and brick, custom wide-plank red pine floors with antique face nails, maple millwork, and a 200–300-year-old reclaimed barn-beam mantel give the home an unmistakable sense of history. Yet behind the character is modern construction, including spray-foam insulation and infrastructure designed with an eventual zero-energy future in mind. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, maple and quartz countertops, a 48-inch Viking range with six burners, griddle and double ovens, two sinks, and a generous seating peninsula. The living room offers custom built-ins and a new stone wood-burning fireplace, while the dining room retains an original fireplace with Heatilater heat-recovery vents and a custom bar incorporating salvaged Civil War-era parsonage glass. Three adjoining porch rooms—the mudroom, laundry room, and greenhouse/sunroom—feature reclaimed brick flooring salvaged from York High School. The mudroom includes custom lockers, a dog shower, black walnut counters, and a salvaged Dutch door. The greenhouse has operable skylights and sliding doors for natural ventilation and was thoughtfully designed for passive winter heat circulation. Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual walk-in closets, roof-deck access, and a beautifully appointed bathroom with heated floors, custom walnut vanity, quartz counters, rain shower, and separate water closet. Additional bedrooms include custom built-ins, window seats, reading nooks, and attic storage. The home's distinctive cupola is both architectural centerpiece and functional passive-cooling feature, with remotely operated windows designed to draw hot air upward. The roof deck provides a private setting for outdoor dining and summer evenings. A detached barn with matching stone, new 2026 metal siding, 2022 roof, wood stove, LED lighting, thermostatically controlled ventilation, and historic rebuilt shop doors provides an exceptional workshop or studio. Additional highlights include hot-water heat with reclaimed cast-iron radiators, two-zone AC, a 2026 radon system, new 2026 driveway, extensive future-ready wiring chases, and infrastructure planned for potential geothermal, photovoltaic, solar hot water, and other energy upgrades. Located near historic Yellow Springs Village, Milky Way Farm, and Valley Forge National Historical Park, with access to the Downingtown Area School District and Downingtown STEM Academy. A truly special property—part farmhouse, part architectural time capsule, and part forward-looking sustainable home. Purchase this property along with next door 1211 Street Rd to make a compound for multi generational living. Offered as a package or $1,590,000.
