Inviting 19th Century stone farmhouse on 29+ acres places you in the midst of Springfield Township, known for its extensive farmland and great views. The house is situated amid expansive fields, with woods in the rear that drop down to Cooks Creek, which is just on the property line. All agricultural acreage is currently leased (annually) to a local farmer who maintains the planting and harvesting of this preserved land. This property has been given a conservation easement, while allowing the owner a 2 acre envelope surrounding the house on which to add a pool or outbuilding if desired. Three small paddocks are fenced with solar-powered electric fencing for farm animals, and the vintage sheep barn with running water has been completely renovated with new siding, windows, and structural elements. The house lends itself to an in-law situation, with a ramp leading to the clapboard addition featuring a main floor bedroom suite and foyer laundry. Step into the original part of the house and you will be charmed by the "keeping" room with exposed beams and wood floor and an inglenook stone fireplace now holding a wood stove. The mid-century modern addition features a library downstairs and a family room upstairs that could make a wonderful primary ensuite bedroom. Amazing windows across the back of the house on both floors give an expansive panorama of your property, and a new deck along the back can also be reached from the main floor bedroom. Interestingly, the sellers had originally taken early measures to convert the carriage house/garage to living space before their family situation had changed. They had received permits and approved building plans with the township, as well as permission to install a second septic system. These efforts should contribute to an easier conversion for the new buyer, if such plans were on their mind. Low Taxes!
