This home was built in 2007 in the stone wall remains of the 1804 stone bank barn that was part of the prior farm on this property which was from a William Penn Land Grant to William Brinton in 1684 (great history!) and abuts abundant open space maintained by the HOA. This home is remarkable for the large cornerstones & the even LARGER IMPRESSION that this home leaves on those that see it. Cornerstone Barn is listed as a class 2 historic structure (The Thomas Hill Brinton Barn) and loaded with history that is well documented. The Brintons were the family that help Colonize this region and for which Brinton Lake Road and Brintons Bridge Road are name for, among others. The earthen ramp and stone walls have been fully restored. Live in history but still enjoy a modern and low maintenance home because it is on a small lot (1/4 ac) and it is easy and inexpensive to maintain. Adjacent open space is mowed and maintained by the Cherry Creek Homeowner's Association (HOA) which is a Conservation Community w/ over 100 acres of open space which includes approx 4 miles of mowed off-road walking trails and 3 miles of upscale neighborhood sidewalks. very convenient location: less than 3 miles to 5 grocery stores and 1 mile to Wawa and Giant. Close to nearby historic sites including the Brandywine Battlefield where the 9/11/1777 Revolutionary War Battle was fought and the British soldiers recuperated at this very location on the former farm. Later it was a stop on the Underground Railroad with a hideout room in this very barn. The semi-detached design keeps the taxes and utility costs low but it seems like a detached home as you live here, even to your guests and delivery men! Home has just undergone a light remodel including refinished floors, new HVAC, fresh paint, new appliance, all new carpeting and much more. Owner just installed composite deck, pictures added. Move-in ready, turnkey. See the history in the documents sections and displayed in the home along with items from the archaeological dig on-site.
