Description
Welcome to 1271 Byberry Road, where a circa 1730 farmhouse sits on two+ acres ofnatural beauty. The long driveway passes the spring house, root cellar, and barn, and thevaried rooflines reflect thoughtful additions made over time to enhance comfort. In thefoyer, a large fireplace with a custom screen creates a warm welcome, complete with a"dry sink" of original cabinetry. A first-floor powder room sits off the foyer,enhanced by Mercer tile floors. These Mercer tiles continue throughout much of the mainlevel. To the left, the dining room features another large fireplace with a wood-burninginsert, as well as original cabinetry and a low, open-beamed ceiling thatcalls to mind the ambiance of an early English pub. Nearby, the modern kitchen andbreakfast area combine convenience and character with a stone wall, practical galleylayout, and six large windows overlooking the grounds. Just outside is a lovely bluestonepatio, while inside, a butler's pantry and powder room add modern convenience. Thespacious living room is filled with natural light and showcases beautifully restored flooringreclaimed from a barn of similar age. Another fireplace, here with a gas insert, adds bothcomfort and charm. Upstairs, two large front-facing bedrooms retain the home's historiccharacter, including one with a working fireplace and a hidden wall safe. Two smallerbedrooms and a hall bath occupy the center of the second floor, while a large primarybedroom with an en suite bath is located at the rear. This room features an arched ceilingand large hangers said to have been used by a former owner who made caskets! On thethird floor, you'll find an additional bedroom and a smaller, under-eave room with theconvenience of a toilet & sink and built-in closet. This floor features an attic, accessible form the hall, with views of the area from three sides and remodeling potential. Another attic is functional with a low ceiling and attic fan for air circulation in the warmer months. Outside, the spacious barn includes a workshop, upper-level storage, and a garage with room for two cars or SUVs. The spring house offers a variety of possible uses. An original outhouse still exists as a conversation starter, though not desirable or usable with all the bathrooms available inside! The root cellar contains an artesian well and is not accessible to guests,but will be available for inspectors. A whole house generator provides power when needed. The present owners have lived here for 50 years and made many wonderful memories in this home. And though they love it, it's time to move on and let you make it your own!
