Property Description

Rydal - Wouldn't you like to own a little piece of history? This impressive expanded carriage house was originally built as a barn in 1840 and later converted to a carriage house. It has been said that Mark Twain's horse slept here when it was a barn! This 5+ bedroom, 4 bath home features recently refinished pine floors, an exquisite first floor master suite with sitting area and screened-in porch, a 4-car garage and is situated on 1.55 acres of beautiful grounds with mature trees and plantings. Across the front of the house is a large covered paver patio, and you enter through a Dutch front door to the living room with stone fireplace with beautiful front windows with window seats and shelves underneath. The dining room features built-ins on either side of the side window and has a large front window. The updated kitchen with skylight, dual fuel-gas cooktop and electric double oven, instant hot/cold, disposal ceramic tile backsplash, Corian countertops, Advantium convection/microwave, refrigerators, hi hat lighting and a banquette eating area. There is a door to a quaint vestibule leading to the driveway area. The family room is located off the kitchen and offers a coat closet, ceiling fan and a wall of built-in cabinets and drawers which are perfect for pantry storage. The family room also leads to the living room. The unique master suite addition was added in 2008 and includes a vaulted ceiling sitting room with ceiling fan and sliding door to the front covered patio and a second sliding door leads to a screened-in porch with ceiling fan. An L-shaped office with built-in bookshelves, cabinets and 2 closets is convenient to the master bedroom. The master bedroom includes a ceiling fan, 2 large walk-in closets, built-ins and a lovely master bath with stall shower, 2 sinks and ceramic tile floor. Radiant heat is in the master bedroom and master bath. There is a large laundry room that leads to a 1st floor workshop, to the partial basement and leads to an outside exit. The partial basement (2008) features high ceilings. A 1st floor utility room with 2nd refrigerator, full freezer and powder room complete the first floor. The 2nd floor consists of 2 identical bedrooms that connect with a bright sitting room, a large ceramic tile hall bath with 2 sinks, a tub/shower unit and linen closet, a 4th bedroom with ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, 2nd closet and en-suite ceramic tile bath with stall shower (previously the master bedroom), a den/office with stairs to the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor completes the house with the 5th bedroom with walk-in closet, a 2nd closet and large unfinished storage closet, an en-suite full bath with tub/shower unit with closet and an additional room which could be used as a bedroom (built-in single bed) or storage room.
