A stunning 18th-century farmstead in Kimberton with the original house dating back to 1745 recently hit the market for $1,295,000, writes Sandy Smith for the Philadelphia Magazine.
This beautiful home sits by a weathered bank barn that was most likely built around the same time.
The lovely residence has seen many additions and thoughtful updates throughout the years. Most of the main living spaces are from the 1960 addition.
In the original farmhouse, a simple but dignified living room is home to one of two hearth fireplaces in the home, suggesting it was once the kitchen. An adjacent den is likely the original living room. Both rooms still have their original wide-plank pine floors.
An entrance hall connects this area to the main living spaces, including an elegant dining room, light-filled everyday living suite with the second hearth fireplace, and a modern kitchen.
The second floor of the original farmhouse is home to the primary suite with a spa-like bathroom. There are three more bedrooms and a full bath in the rear wing.
The bank barn is currently set up as a guest house and artist’s studio. An in-ground pool and a backyard that faces the adjacent French Creek Preserve complete this lovely estate.
