Listing description

Tired of seeing the same housing options that don't capture your sense of what home should be? Available now is the early 19th-century Stone Bank Barn on Moore Road that so many have seen. It's an iconic piece of Chester County's rich history. Bank barns like this can become a spectacular residence., but your imagination and desire are critical. Situated on a bucolic 1.9-acre lot with a spring fed stream in the Downingtown Area School District. This hand-built "old stoney" is complete with 2-foot-thick stone gable ends, has all the elements of a massive timber-framed work of art layered with generations of history overlooking a lovely pond, breezy willow stream bank, and a protected location. The barn is so close to the hiking, biking, and boating network of Marsh Creek State Park, and you enjoy multiple entry access points. Perc tests and septic details are known. This is not a drill; 1this barn has amazing stone, complete with massive quoins and a gorgeous tan mortar. Fully pointed inside and out ready for your spectacular windows and imagination. The square footage calculation contains only the main floor and does NOT include the 68'X15' forebay section or the unfinished lower level, which walks out to daylight. Shown by appointment only.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $61,080, well below the ~$131,463 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $2,609/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($61,080, 1998 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
