Privacy abounds in this truly unique property, set high on 8 acres with a pastoral view overlooking the neighboring pond! Built 60 years ago by a mason for himself and the enjoyment of his family, you won’t find a more solidly built home. The gorgeous grounds include custom stone walls, a stone path leading to a large gazebo with built-in benches and tables, a spacious screened picnic pavilion with a custom-built brick fireplace, grill and large exterior patio, and large barn. The first floor office has its own separate entrance to the outside and driveway. You’ll enjoy strolling the acreage to meditate, or enjoy the wonderful gardens of mature trees, plants, daylilies and seasonal bulbs. Beautiful views from the living room and dining room bay windows, patio, screened porch and full-length 2nd floor balcony have a terrific view of the grounds and pond. The home features hardwood floors throughout, living room fireplace, huge dining room with a built-in corner cabinet, screened porch, back staircase, 3 very large bedrooms, 4 heating zones, and a 2 car garage with extra storage above. Other buildings include a never-used chicken coup and storage shed. Thanks to the solid masonry construction, ventilation and shade from trees, the home stays cool throughout the warmer seasons. Located in the highly-rated Owen J Roberts school district, this is such fantastic place for kids to grow up - or adults to entertain!!
