7007 LAFAYETTE AVE Fort Washington, PA 19034

This remarkable one-of-a-kind home is the fusion of an 1850s Stone Barn, a 1900s Carriage House and a new open spacious design, with morning, midday and evening light and many remaining original barn features. One of the remarkable features of this house is the artistic imagination that many of the open well lighted rooms would lend themselves to. On the first floor there are two large rooms, now being used for a family room and a painting studio that both have high ceilings that could be used for ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, or any other projects requiring a large well-lit space. There is also a guest suite on the first floor with a kitchenette that has a separate entrance that could be an Air B and B, nanny or in law space. The second floor living room with its original board pine flooring and dining room with a newer hardwood floor both have expansive wall space that lend them the feeling of an art gallery, dance, or performance art space. The barn cupola is exposed and lets in lots of additional natural light that filters down into the dining area with a working wood stove and thick deep slate windowsills. The surrounding trees on several sides of the house give you the feel of a tree house while letting in lots of natural light on the other sides.
