Nestled in the rolling countryside just outside Downingtown, this mid-1800s stone farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a classic piece of Chester County history. Set on a secluded parcel surrounded by mature trees and open space, this traditional stone dwelling reflects the character and craftsmanship of its time. The home features a traditional layout with generously sized rooms and original stonework, providing a solid foundation for thoughtful updates and creative design. While the property is in need of repair and modernization, it presents the ideal canvas for buyers looking to bring new life to a historic residence.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
