Listing description

A place where life finally slows down. There are homes you tour… and then there are homes that greet you with a feeling. 1790 Fernbrook is the latter, a place where the world quiets, the air softens, and you can almost feel your shoulders drop the moment you arrive. Wrapped in more than four acres of lush, natural beauty, this stone farmhouse offers a kind of solitude that feels restorative, grounding, and deeply peaceful. A home that holds history, and welcomes you in......Stepping inside feels like stepping into a story. Sunlight spills across wide-plank hardwood floors. Exposed beams stretch overhead. Deep, curved window sills frame views of the countryside like living artwork. Every room carries the warmth and character of a home that has been loved for generations. The main level is designed for connection — a bright, cheerful gathering room perfect for long conversations, quiet mornings, and evenings with friends. Built‑in shelving invites you to display the pieces that tell your story.....Just beyond, a covered porch calls you to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and savor the simple beauty of the day. A cozy parlor and a sitting room anchored by a stone wood‑burning fireplace offer intimate spaces to unwind. A powder room adds convenience, but the real heart of the home is the kitchen. This kitchen feels like the place where memories are made — holiday baking, late‑night snacks, weekend breakfasts. Granite countertops, an added island, and generous cabinetry make it both beautiful and functional. Stainless steel appliances, a double oven, and a french‑door refrigerator support every culinary adventure. The adjoining dining area, warmed by a wood stove in winter, feels like the perfect spot to gather, linger, and laugh. And yes — there’s a back staircase leading straight to the primary suite, ideal for those quiet midnight trips for tea or a treat. A primary suite that feels like a retreat....The primary suite is unexpectedly spacious, with a soaring cathedral ceiling and room to breathe. The ensuite bath features a claw‑foot soaking tub — the kind that invites long, slow evenings with candles and quiet music. Three additional bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, with one featuring its own covered porch overlooking the rolling landscape. Thoughtful upgrades, timeless comfort.....This home blends history with modern peace of mind with a 200‑amp electric panel....New septic system (2002)....New spring house pump (4/26).....Chimneys cleaned (2/26)....Select window replacements.....Wood shake roof replaced in 2021......1790 Fernbrook Lane will prove to be your own private oasis.....And then… the magic continues. The heated pool is tucked away like a secret sanctuary — a place to stretch out in the sun, float under the sky, or enjoy warm summer nights with friends. The historic bank barn is a world of its own: storage on the first floor, creative or office space on the second with a wood stove, and a rustic bar and lounge on the third — the ultimate hideaway. Across the 4+ acres, you’ll find countless places to sit with a book, sip a drink, or simply listen to the quiet. This is the property you've been searching for ....this is a rare opportunity that lends itself to the lifestyle you deserve!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $137,110, well below the ~$405,154 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 $11,130/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($137,110, 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.
