About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to Fence-Stone Farm. This magnificent 1800s farmhouse is nestled in the rolling hills of East Coventry Township, offering a rare blend of historical elegance and modern luxury, ideal for the discerning buyer and equestrian enthusiast. Set on 6.7 acres of private land, the views of Chester County farmland are priceless.
Through the traditional farmhouse Dutch doors into the foyer, glowing hardwood floors set a warm, inviting tone for the entire home. The heart of the home is the charming kitchen which has tons of custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a center island with additional storage. The large window over the sink offers serene views of the barn and landscape, creating a perfect backdrop for both cooking and casual dining. Highlighted by glowing hardwood floors and a double sided stone fireplace, the elegant dining room features a large, deep sill window that frames breathtaking views of the back pasture, making every gathering a picturesque occasion.
The cozy, yet spacious, living room is adorned with exposed original stone walls and two wood burning fireplaces, one of which has been used as a primary source of heat during cold winter evenings. Also located on the main floor, is a large office space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, custom built-ins, and an attached full bathroom and laundry area, This flexible area can serve as a luxurious home office or provide private living quarters with all of the comforts. On the second floor, this home features four beautifully appointed bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, each with unique character-filled details and en-suite facilities catering to convenient living and private comfort. The master bedroom features a large walk in closet, a cozy seating area and a brand new custom en-suite bathroom, meticulously designed with high-end finishes and fixtures.
The third-floor houses an unfinished space that offers significant potential for customization and added value. It could easily be transformed into two additional bedrooms and an already utilized half bath, perfect for growing families or guests.
The large walkout basement provides ample space for additional entertaining and a workshop area. This versatile space is ideal for hosting gatherings, pursuing hobbies, or expanding your living area.
Now let's go outside and talk about the newly re-finished stunning bank barn. The barn has undergone a major transformation over the last couple of years . All of the original stone work has been repointed, drainage system installed, new roof, and a courtyard area was added. This list goes on!! Inside the barn, new concrete floors were poured, a tack room was built and 3 beautiful 10 x 12 rubber matted stalls were added. The fenced court yard area is a perfect spot to tack up and hose down your horses. Enjoy a long ride through miles of trails and hack to local professional equine facilities, all just outside your door step.
For your four-legged family members, 2 large newly fenced pastures with automatic watering posts and run-in sheds create for the upmost comfortable turn-out space.
Just a short walk past the pastures, nestled into a the wooded area, lies a serene spot along a flowing spring-fed stream. This tranquil retreat area is perfect for outdoor adventures or a quiet reflection in nature.
Situated in the Owen J Roberts School District, experience the unique charm offered by this traditional Chester County farmhouse. Perfectly situated for those who appreciate refined country living with equestrian amenities and a commitment to educational excellence.
