Welcome to Elkdale Farm home to the second-largest sycamore tree in the state of Pennsylvania and awarded the 2017 Gardens of Distinction by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society for its wondrous gardens and orchard. This property is the perfect country oasis. There are two tax parcels being sold in this listing--a completely renovated and expanded manor house which dates back to the early/mid 19th century with a luxurious in-ground pool, terrace, a detached two-car garage, a guesthouse, a studio, a greenhouse, large barn and two run-in sheds which currently serve for the resident sheep. Upon entry to the house, you are surrounded by the charm of a welcoming home--a large brightly lit country kitchen with cathedral ceiling, granite counter tops, Viking cooktop, double dishwashers, built-in oven, and a large island which opens to the breakfast room and family room with woodburning fireplace. There is also a spacious walk-in pantry. This house has loads of natural light and freshly refinished original hardwood floors. Just outside the French doors is the terrace which is secluded by a pergola and overlooks the elegant pool. The gracious dining room and library are perfect for entertaining and an additional fireplace, as well as built-in bookcases, are in the library. There is a large sunny mudroom with a wet bar. A first-floor main suite with soaking tub, shower, skylights, and walk-in closet, the adjacent laundry room and powder room complete the first floor. The second floor has a spacious bonus/playroom with access to the balcony porch, and there are three additional bedrooms, a full bath and a walk-up attic which has loads of potential. Lots of closets and space for storage. The slate roof has been updated and maintained as has the stucco-on-masonry structure which was recently repainted and appointed. There are magnificent tree specimen, an orchard, a lovely pond, space for riding rinks, and in the front part of the property are the foundations to former farm buildings and creek--all this is situated on over 19 acres. The second parcel is 10 acres of undeveloped land. Both parcels of the property are under Act 319. Located just a short distance from Fair Hill International Equestrian facility and surrounded by bucolic Chester County, this property is a rare find. Property is 454,456, and 458 Elkdale Road.
