About This Home
Welcome to 1047 Cowpath Road. The warmth and charm of this magnificently restored 4+ bedroom C1873 stone farmhouse offers the master craftsmanship of yesteryear with all the amenities of today; nestled in a private, 1.18 acre picturesque setting with English perennial gardens, raised beds filled with herbs, vegetables and cutting flowers, a detached 3 car garage with storage loft, ample off street parking, and she-shed/ greenhouse. The warm and welcoming feeling of this home is accented with large windows with deep windowsills inviting plenty of natural sunlight, a fabulous custom gourmet kitchen with center island, 2 staircases, detailed millwork and trim throughout, and 2 fireplaces. The beautiful 20 x 40 inground pool area includes a shady covered pergola, the perfect place for summertime barbecues. Enjoy the recently added she-shed/greenhouse and lush gardens in a private, tranquil setting wreathed with mature trees and surrounded by birdsong. This charming residence features two welcoming porches overlooking the beautiful gardens just a few steps away. The cozy foyer entryway is located in the original 1700s section of the home – once a log cabin – with an original "Pennsylvania winder” spiral staircase. The first floor includes an elegant living room with reclaimed wood floors and built-in bookshelves. The spacious formal dining room is accented with antique random width wood floors and a gas log fireplace with a rustic wood mantel, perfect for formal dining or warm and cozy fireside dinners.

Adjoining the kitchen is an open banquet-sized dining space highlighted with an exposed fieldstone wall and a pass through to the dining room, perfect for entertaining. The bright and sunny family room adjoins the kitchen and features an original stone walk-in fireplace with beehive oven, once used for cooking, with a freestanding gas stove for warmth and ambience. A fieldstone wall, vaulted mahogany ceiling with radiant heat, and Pella sliding French doors which open to a private wrap-around deck create a wonderful place to sip your morning coffee or relax and read your favorite book. A stained-glass front door transom, powder room, hall closet and pantry complete this spacious first level.
