Description

Nestled in a bygone era stood a stately estate, its foundations laid in the year 1736. This grand home is a masterpiece of the Georgian style architecture. There is a rich past and the home awaits a visionary to breathe new life into it. Approaching the estate, one is greeted by a scene of timeless elegance—the driveway gracefully splits between twin ponds, while the meticulously crafted stonework speak opulence. On the side of the home, one can view the datestone etched into the foundation. History is often showcased throughout this property! Fashioned from limestone and fieldstone, this home was built to withstand the passage of time, a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of yesteryears. Records indicate that there was once a covered porch that stretched across the entire width of the front facade. Picture sitting under a new porch, swaying in your rocking chair, and imagining what life was like at this once bustling farm! Inside, the home boasts of hardwood floors, a majestic staircase, multiple fireplaces, and ample space for relaxation and entertainment. The wood beans throughout the first floor are eye-catching and the abundance of windows pour in a ton of natural light. Outside, the land tells stories of days gone by, with remnants of an ice cave, a stone barn, a milk house, a chicken coop, and the foundations of two other outbuildings dotting the landscape. This property's history is as rich as its architecture, having served as a farmstead from the mid-18th century until the early 1960s. There have been various names for this farm over the course of two hundred plus years. It was once named the Custer Farm and then Fairfield Farms. Nature surrounds this home, offering a retreat from the business of modern life. Nearby, Evansburg State Park, Green Lane Park, Valley Forge National Park and the Perkiomen Walking Trail invites you with their peaceful allure. For the golf enthusiasts, one can enjoy an outing at either the Worcester Golf Course, Raven's Claw Golf Club, or River Crest Golf Club.
