Property Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind residence where a classic Pennsylvania barn meets Cape Cod charm. Nestled within the historic Clothier estate, dating back to the 1860s, this architect-owned home blends old-world character with modern living. Built into the remains of the original barn, the home has undergone thoughtful renovations and expansions, including an architect-designed addition in 1999 and an enlarged primary bedroom suite in 2016.
Upon entering, you?ll find a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings and custom-built bookcases, anchored by a double-sided gas fireplace. Large picture windows showcase the unique barn structure, while patio doors invite you to a Tuscany-inspired courtyard, perfect for quiet outdoor dining. The expansive yard features a "secret garden," lovingly named by the owners' grandchildren, providing a peaceful retreat.
Inside, the home is a masterful blend of open-concept spaces and cozy Cape Cod-style rooms. Whether it's a family gathering in the dining room, a quiet moment by the fireplace, or working in the dedicated office space, (which is the 4th bedroom, there is a closet), this home offers a flexible layout designed for living, working, and playing. The garden-level living space features 25-foot ceilings, a playroom, and a half bath, while the main floor is home to an office, a full bath, and a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a large island with an eat-in area.
The primary suite, part of the 2016 addition, includes vaulted ceilings, a sitting room with a gas fireplace, and a step-down into the primary bedroom. The spa-like primary bath offers a double vanity, soaking tub, and shower. Two additional bedrooms on the upper floor are serviced by a hall bath, providing comfort for family or guests.
What makes this home truly special is its unique setting ? part of a peaceful compound of homes, together yet apart, all respecting the character of the historic estate. The balance of old and new is carried throughout, offering a timeless, comfortable, and one-of-a-kind living experience.
With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, gas heat, and a roof updated in 2016, this home is both stylish and practical. Experience the perfect harmony of history, architecture, and modern living in this extraordinary property.
