Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind residence where a classic Pennsylvania barn meets Cape Cod charm. Nestled within the historic Clothier estate, dating back to the 1860s, this architect-owned home blends old-world character with modern living. Built into the remains of the original barn, the home has undergone thoughtful renovations and expansions, including an architect-designed addition in 1999 and an enlarged primary bedroom suite in 2016. Upon entering, you’ll find a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings and custom-built bookcases, anchored by a double-sided gas fireplace. Large picture windows showcase the unique barn structure, while patio doors invite you to a Tuscany-inspired courtyard, perfect for quiet outdoor dining. The expansive yard features a "secret garden," lovingly named by the owners' grandchildren, providing a peaceful retreat. Inside, the home is a masterful blend of open-concept spaces and cozy Cape Cod-style rooms. Whether it's a family gathering in the dining room, a quiet moment by the fireplace, or working in the dedicated office space, (which is the 4th bedroom, there is a closet), this home offers a flexible layout designed for living, working, and playing. The garden-level living space features 25-foot ceilings, a playroom, and a half bath, while the main floor is home to an office, a full bath, and a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a large island with an eat-in area. The primary suite, part of the 2016 addition, includes vaulted ceilings, a sitting room with a gas fireplace, and a step-down into the primary bedroom. The spa-like primary bath offers a double vanity, soaking tub, and shower. Two additional bedrooms on the upper floor are serviced by a hall bath, providing comfort for family or guests. What makes this home truly special is its unique setting — part of a peaceful compound of homes, together yet apart, all respecting the character of the historic estate. The balance of old and new is carried throughout, offering a timeless, comfortable, and one-of-a-kind living experience. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, gas heat, and a roof updated in 2016, this home is both stylish and practical. Experience the perfect harmony of history, architecture, and modern living in this extraordinary property.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
