Property Description

Welcome home to 1551 Old Ridge Road (“The Samuel Shafer Mansion House”), nestled in the historic village of Coventryville! A historic village that crossed paths with Ben Franklin, General Washington, the Lincolns, and the Potts family of Coventry Forge. This is a rare opportunity to own a storybook estate with multiple buildings, including the 1800's Main Residence; Cottage for guest/in-law suite; and refurbished Barn with dedicated workspaces --- all set on 5.6 picturesque acres of sweeping lawns, vibrant gardens, and tree-lined meadows. Plus an in-ground pool complex with cascading hot tub and oversized pool house! As soon as you arrive you will experience how the property superbly blends history with modernity (including central air!). The exterior accents on the main house were just painted, and the covered front Porch offers shaded comfort. Inside are antique pine and original wide wood flooring plus original trim work, built-ins, stonework, doors, cabinetry and hardware. The home showcases a spacious grand Center Hall; an oversized formal Dining Room with original fireplace and cabinet; and a remodeled Kitchen ideal for the home chef with: Wolf double oven & ceramic cooktop; GE Advantium microwave; Subzero fridge; quartz counters & backsplash; sit-up center island with farmhouse sink; custom cabinetry (designed to match the original); custom lighting; brick tile radiant heat floors; and the original walk-in cooking fireplace & pot crane. The Butlers Pantry has another sink, work alcove, and a built-in Miele whole bean coffee system. This leads into the Breakfast/Garden Rm with pantry storage & closets; radiant flooring; walls of sun-filled windows; and a door out to the private brick Patio enclosed by original stone walls. The sizeable Living Room has deep set windows and a Vermont Castings wood stove. The Study/Office with original built-in cabinet and mantle leads into both the Back Hall and the Mudroom Laundry with tile floors; built-in bench; 18th century breakfront cabinet; Powder Rm; original sidewinder staircase; and door out to the covered side Porch & Cottage. Upstairs find 5 spacious Bedrooms with ample closets and 2 Full Baths: one remodeled like a luxury spa with quartz counters, white cabinets, radiant heat floor, and a tile-surround tub/shower with rainfall shower head; and the other has historic flair with its repurposed dresser-style sink vanity and vintage claw-foot soaking tub. An open staircase leads to the unfinished third floor with windows that could be transformed into a guest room or media/game room! The several well-appointed outbuildings throughout the property include: the renovated Guest Cottage with exposed original wood beams; a full kitchen; washer/dryer; living rm; bedroom; closets; and remodeled full bath with a tile-surround step-in shower and radiant heat floor (option of being a rental; call Township for permit info & details). The thoughtfully repurposed Barn offers versatile workspaces, ideal for creative/art/music endeavors, fitness areas, special events & celebrations, workshop. So much more: a carriage shed garage; stone spring house; new & original walkways; newly sealed driveway; original stone walls; a restored stone fireplace alcove off the back passage; and the open meadow across the street. Resort-style living with the Anthony & Sylvan heated in-ground pool and cascading hot tub surrounded by expansive patios, low stone walls, and fencing. And the refurbished Pool House has rows of multiple windows, electric, and space for a kitchenette, bar, tables and storage. In the award-winning Owen J. Robert School District; no HOA; and convenient to local parks, shops, dining, Rtes 401/202/113/PA Turnpike. Property is meticulously maintained so the included AHS ShieldComplete Home Warranty w/Pool Coverage (their highest level of coverage!) is just added peace-of-mind for you! Some photos virtually staged. Verification (including sq ft/size/lay-out/more) lies with the consumer.
