1477 YELLOW SPRINGS RD Chester Springs, PA 19425

1477 Yellow Springs Road is a classic fieldstone Chester County Farmhouse with Barn on 2.2 lush acres across from West Pikelands Pine Creek Park, a park containing 70 acres with playground, nature trails, a creek & sports fields. This circa 1800, 5Bay structure & barn was a part of the John Krauser Grist Mill in the 19th century (note the Mill & tenant house across the road). The house is in late Federal style with frieze-band windows & earthy palette, which accentuates the variegated rustic fieldstone. Over 3,000 sf with 5 Bedrooms & 3.5 bathrooms along with gardens & inground pool. A class 2 historic resource (w conditional use approval perhaps a B&B, office, antique shop, craft shop, accessory use conversion of barn, verify with twp), this is a property which gains the admiration of all who pass by this beautiful part of Chester Springs! Notice the symmetrical faade with wood windows, shutters & a grand main porch entrance with matching benches & transom windows over the doors. The elegant interior reveals well crafted original architectural features & hardwood floors on the main level.
