Description

Nestled on nearly 3 acres of lush, private grounds, this storied and beautifully maintained 280-year-old farmhouse seamlessly combines the charm of old-world architecture with the comforts of modern living and entertaining. Located just steps from the historic Kimberton Village, this exceptional property is bordered by the stunning 60+ acre French Creek Preserve, offering unparalleled privacy and tranquility.
The estate also includes a remarkable and recently renovated bank barn guest house/studio, complete with lower level two-car garage parking. In 2020 an extensive and remarkable barn renovation was completed by renown Janiczek Homes Builders. This work converted the barn into a two-bedroom guest house or studio/office barn. The barn conversion adds incredible options with two loft bedrooms, a full bathroom and kitchen with stunning Belgium tile, soapstone counters and industrial fixtures. Enjoy remarkable year-round views from the barn’s wall of windows on either side and natural daylight from the many skylights to give warmth on even a cold Spring day! The lower-level barn includes two horse stalls, perfect for equestrians with fenced in area, and an exercise suite/flex space with exposed stone walls.
