Property Description
Step back in time as you enter through the gates to the impeccably restored and meticulously renovated William Lewis House, reportedly the oldest inhabited residence in Pennsylvania. Originally constructed in 1690, with second and third sections being added in approximately 1708 and 1750, it was built on a tract of land sold by Willliam Penn to William Lewis senior, a quaker who moved to this area in 1686. The current stewards have honored it's past with authentic designs and materials throughout while seamlessly integrating every modern amenity for comfortable everyday living, fabulous indoor and outdoor entertaining, privately accommodating guests and working from home. Endless features include hand crafted original restored and replicated floors, beams and millwork, European milk and linseed oil paints, custom fabricated thermal barrier-sound proofing storm windows, imported 16th century European bathroom tiles, state of the art mechanical, electric and plumbing systems with smartphone access, 7 fireplaces, graciously sized rooms including 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, gourmet kitchen and an incredibly restored stone cellar in the main house, beautifully renovated guest house with radiant floors, private bedroom, living area and full bathroom, spacious office building with full bathroom, breathtakingly landscaped grounds with glorious gardens, expansive lawn, specimen plantings, hand-crafted brick patios and a serene pool. This is a rare opportunity to purchase and enjoy a very special and unique historical property with museum quality renovations throughout.
