332 Reading Furnace Rd

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Bring your vision and stake your claim to this 2-acre parcel in the bucolic Chester County countryside surrounded by nearly 750 acres of preserved land. This is a unique opportunity to renovate/reimagine an 1820 stone barn that was converted to a residence in the 1970s by local architect David Quigley. Perched above the French Creek, the southern exposure provides absolutely breathtaking views over the creek and across the preserved landscape towards the Redding Furnace Farm. The large, raised deck is supported by stone beehive pillars and is the perfect place to relax in this serene setting. The location is just 1 mile from Rt 401 Conestoga Rd, for easy commuting to Malvern, Exton, and the 202 corridor. The famed Stonewall Links golf course is just 1.5 miles away. Once set up as 2 separate residences (still has 2 mailboxes), it is currently being utilized as a single home. Staircases at either end of the home provide flexibility for separation within the home if desired - live on one side while renovating the other. The layout could also be ideal for a live/work scenario or multi-generational living. The interior features plank wood floors, stone walls, and exposed wood timber beams. The main level layout is a mirror image - each "side" having a living room, kitchen, and dining room - with an easy flow throughout. The upstairs remains separated between the two sides, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and storage on each side. The east side also has a main floor bedroom with en suite bath. This property is being sold AS-IS. A minimum of 48-72 hours notice is required to schedule showings, and listing agent must accompany.
