Description

While it’s easy to focus solely on the individual home, it’s important to recognize that the thoughtful design and planning of the surrounding community are equally integral to its value and appeal. Located in the highly sought-after village community of Olde Bulltown in East Nantmeal Township, this exceptional brick, stone and wood-sided Colonial reproduction blends historic charm with the sophistication of modern craftsmanship. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.45-acre lot, the home offers a picturesque and tranquil setting. A welcoming brick walkway with bluestone steps leads to a covered front porch, accented with copper gutters and downspouts—an ideal spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the home opens to a warm, country-inspired kitchen that flows seamlessly into the dining area, offering front-to-back views that fill the space with natural light. Architectural details such as beaded board accents, a beamed vaulted ceiling, and quarter-sawn oak flooring in natural tones bring character and continuity throughout both levels. The kitchen is a standout feature, blending barn wood finishes, soapstone countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, custom antique-painted cabinetry, and top-tier appliances to create a space that is both functional and full of charm. Two Rumford fireplaces, designed for heat efficiency, lend 1800s authenticity to both the dining and living rooms—the latter evoking the feel of a classic parlor. The first-floor primary suite offers the ease of single-level living, with ample closet space and an ensuite bath finished in brick tile. Upstairs, a second bedroom and full bath—complete with a porcelain soaking tub—are enhanced by a loft-style space, adding both charm and versatility. The finished lower level includes a large family room with plush carpeting, an office, a third bedroom, and a full brick-tiled bathroom. Stone-lined window wells allow natural light to filter in, creating a warm and inviting lower-level retreat. Just off the kitchen, brick flooring leads to a powder room, laundry area, and interior access to the attached three-car garage—a rare feature within this community. The garage is fully insulated, finished with hand-sewn wood boards, and equipped with its own dedicated propane heating system, making it ideal for a workshop or year-round car storage. Additional features include an energy-efficient geothermal heat pump, dual-zone climate control, and a whole-house generator, providing both cost-effective operation and peace of mind. Step through the rear French doors to a covered all-brick patio, complete with a built-in propane grill and flue-lined chimney—a perfect setting for entertaining while enjoying unobstructed views of the French Creek Golf Club fairways. Despite the peaceful, secluded location, the property is just a short drive from the many amenities, cultural events, restaurants, and attractions that Chester County and neighboring Lancaster County are known for.
