Property Description

There’s something undeniably special about a home that has been standing since 1868. Long before additions, modern conveniences and changing lifestyles reshaped the way we live, this home began its story—and more than 150 years later, traces of that history still give it a character all its own. Set on approximately half an acre beneath the canopy of magnificent, mature trees, the covered front porch overlooks a broad, almost storybook lawn that feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary. Step inside from the front porch to the original living room, where a stone fireplace creates a natural focal point. A separate side entrance opens to a convenient foyer and into the kitchen, with the dining room just beyond. From the kitchen, a hallway passes the main-level laundry and full bath before opening into the spacious family room addition. Here, a wood stove brings another layer of warmth and character, while doors lead to the large rear deck and backyard beyond. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms and a full bath are connected by a central flex space—one of those wonderfully unconventional areas that invites a little imagination. Use it as a home office, reading or sitting room, play space, or explore the possibility of creating an additional bedroom making this a four-bedroom home. Beyond that, the primary suite addition feels almost like its own wing, with a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and private bath with a jetted tub, while the spiral staircase provides an unexpected second connection directly to the family room below. And there’s plenty happening outside, too. The large rear deck overlooks the above-ground pool and expansive, level backyard, with room for gardening, playing, entertaining or simply enjoying the setting. Mature trees lend shade, beauty and a sense of permanence that simply can’t be recreated overnight. All of this comes within the Penn-Trafford School District, adding another desirable element to a property that already has so much to offer. This isn’t a cookie-cutter home—and it was never meant to be. More than 150 years have shaped a home filled with character, generous spaces and reminders of the many ways it has grown and evolved over time. For the buyer who appreciates character, space and the opportunity to make a one-of-a-kind home their own, there’s a story here worth continuing.
