Looking for the charm of an old farmhouse, combined with all of the conveniences of modern living? Look no further than this home built by Quaker farmer, Nathan Wickersham, in 1855. This special property, with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, sits on a beautifully landscaped half acre lot. A pebbled concrete patio and fully fenced back yard overlook the original farm and neighboring horse farm.
Crestfield Cottage, as the home has been named, was totally refurbished by the current owners in 2011. Updates include all new electrical, new gas heater, central air conditioning, all new windows, new metal roof, new patio, custom cherry kitchen cabinets with corian countertops, fresh paint inside and out, and much more. You will love the gleaming, refinished hardwood floors throughout, and the ease of the tile floors in the kitchen, foyer and laundry room.
The sunny main floor provides great circular flow with the large family room, dining room and kitchen all connected. The living room is in the original part of the home and connects to the front porch, which overlooks horse pastures. Completing this level is a renovated half bathroom, laundry room with washer and dryer, and an attached oversized garage. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and a nursery or office, plus the main bathroom.
This delightful home has been lovingly cared for and is ready for its new owners to cherish it as much as the previous owners have. There is nothing to do to be a part of the Crestfield Cottage history but move in!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.

The air pollution index is calculated by county or urban area using the past three years data. The index ranks the county or urban area on a scale of 0 (best) - 100 (worst) across the United Sates.
Listing Agents and Buyer’s Agents represent the two sides of a real estate transaction. As a Seller of a home, your Listing Agent represents your interests and will advise, consult and follow your instructions to sell your property at the best possible price and terms.
If you’re a Buyer, a Buyer’s Agent advises you throughout the transaction, helping you get the best deal and advocating for you. The Buyer’s Agent commission is also paid by the Seller, so the Buyer never sees a bill for their service.
Many first time Buyers believe they can work without a Buyer’s Agent and instead use the same agent as the Seller. When both Buyer and Seller use the same agent, known as “dual agency”, it can sometimes save on fees, but it also puts the agent in a conflict of interest, not fully representing either party.
