Description

Unique Barn Conversion from an historic 230 year-old Pennsylvania stone bank-barn. Cornerstone Barn is listed as a class 2 historic structure (The Thomas Hill Brinton Barn) a one-of-a kind custom-built semi-detached carriage home next to dedicated open space. Essentially new construction in 2008 but loaded with history as this design incorporates the stone wall remains of a 1804 Quaker-Built Barn with the earthen ramp and stone walls fully restored . Live here and feel the history but still enjoy a modern and easy to maintain home. Close to nearby historic sites including the Brandywine Battlefield where the 9/11/1777 Revolutionary War Battle was fought. This home is remarkable for the large cornerstones & the even larger impression that this home leaves on those that see it. Extraordinary large scale w/10 foot ceilings, 30" thick stone walls, oversized custom woodwork, window seats, lighted cupola, weathervane, Andersen wood windows, 2-zone high-efficiency HVAC, sumptuous Primary Retreat. But wait, there is a Secondary Retreat as well that is set apart on a separate level and features a jumbo bedroom and bath. The 1st flr has a front porch into a large light-filled Foyer, a separate Office, Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room and Kitchen w/ breakfast area. This floor is all oak hardwood flooring with a light cherry stain. Granite tops in the rich cherry kitchen. Second floor has three bedrooms, two bath and a laundry room. The Lower Level is fully finished and brings the living area up to 4,900 sq ft. and includes a full bath plus a Kitchenette and it also has an area that could be utilized as a 5th bedroom. Despite all of the space, the home is still a good fit for just a couple because the square footage is spread out over 4 levels; not a huge warehouse home and definitely not a cookie cutter house! The two-car garage has an extra-wide and extra-tall door with opener and an inside entrance to the Foyer. Ceiling fans and plenty of storage spaces and closets throughout. Listed as a detached home for search purposes but it is semi-detached and owner lives next door; one barn-two houses. Pictures are from prior listing, new pics coming. Undergoing a light remodel including fresh paint, refinished floors and squeaky clean for new owner. Cherry Creek is a Conservation Community built on 220 acres with over 100 acres remaining as HOA open space. Includes approx 4 miles of HOA maintained off-road walking trails and approx 4 miles of public sidewalks. This home was built in 2008 in the stone wall remains of the 1804 stone bank barn that was part of the prior farm on this property which was from a William Penn Land Grant to William Brinton in 1684 and abuts abundant open space.
