Property Description
Grist Mill Manor Farm, a lovely example of 18thC pastoral living - built over 40 years before the American Revolution - is awaiting its newest owner. This enchanting compound features a Pennsylvania bank barn circa 1803, charming salt-box guest house circa 1939, a grist mill circa 1720, detached two car garage, tool and run-in sheds, and the main house circa 1732, with later additions around 1750, as well as the most recent addition in 1993 crafted by Worthington Builders. A tour of the main house starts in the grand foyer, which runs the width of the house, features random width flooring, formal chair rail and front and rear doors- one with antique box lock. The formal living room features two outstanding built in corner cabinets with carved shell motif, a decorative fireplace with incised decoration, pilastered sides and built in cupboards flanking the fireplace. The formal dining room - which was most likely the original kitchen - features a massive walk in fireplace, a simple corner cupboard, charming built in glass front cabinet, deep window sills and door to sunporch . A hallway from the dining room to the kitchen features a lighted built in display cabinet - which is a cleverly disguised door to a walk in pantry. The kitchen/great room is the newest section of the home. The cabinetry appears to be crafted by Draper, a box bay window with window seat affords views of the kitchen garden, bar sink with under counter refrigerator - great for entertaining, large bi-level island with built in cabinetry - featuring double S/S sink, DW. Additional features include a marble top counter for pastry making, double wall ovens, recessed lighting and glass front cabinetry. The sitting area/keeping room focal point is the gas fired "wood" stove with mantel and flanked by built in shelves and cabinetry. The two story side entry, part of the newer addition, features brick flooring, a hallway which contains the powder room, laundry room, storage closets and entry to the enclosed porch. The second floor of this newer addition contains the main bedroom - with semi vaulted ceiling, fireplace and sitting area, multiple built ins, 2 walk in closets and a large bath with double vanities, walk in shower and random width flooring. The second level features 3 bedrooms - one of which was the original main bedroom, one bedroom with decorative fireplace with metal insert and flanked by cabinetry, a step down to a third bedroom, hall bath, and stairs to third floor storage room as well as back stairs to the dining room. Additionally, on this landing there is another stairway to the third floor 5th bedroom with en-suite bath. The property also features a charming guest house with newer wood roof and windows- Interior features an eat-in kitchen with wood cabinetry, dining room, living room, and on the upper level two bedrooms and a full bath. The full basement of the guest house features a newer heater and ample storage. Electric for this house is metered separately. The six stall, Pennsylvania bank barn is built around a center courtyard with a chicken coop and a run-in for your four legged friends. A charming grist mill, for which the property is named, still has many of the features of the original as well as a deck with outdoor entertainment area. Several other outbuildings grace this lovely property, including the detached two car garage (1986). Views are enhanced by the two ponds and the historically significant Watson's Creek.
