Property Description

"Merlin Cottage", a wonderfully authentic, historic Chester County stone farmhouse property, is nestled on just under an acre at a rural crossroads that dates back to the 1700's, in the heart of Pickering Hunt country, and features beautiful vintage, architectural details that make a house a home - outstanding walk-in fireplace, random-width poplar floors, deep-silled windows, front and back sidewinder stairways, original period hardware and pastoral views from every window. This enchanting property includes a four bedroom / two full bath / one powder room home, a restored summer kitchen with its own working walk-in fireplace, an oversized two car garage with separate entrance to dormered loft space, and a charming wishing well, all within walking distance of Pickering Creek ( yet not in a flood zone ) in the village of Merlin, the locale of the first recorded mills in East Pikeland Township. So much to love about this magical property! A few stone stairs take you to an oversized mudroom, with two large closets and an ideally positioned powder room; one of the closets is adjacent to the powder and could accommodate an expansion to include a main level stall shower. The lovely and sunny dining room features a wall of built-ins and can be accessed from either the mudroom or living room - this room could also be well utilized as a beautiful home office. Proceed through the mudroom straight into the expansive living room, with walk-in fireplace with original cook-arm, exposed beam and wood ceiling, original poplar floors, sidewinder stair to the upper level and egress to the covered stone patio and yard and gardens beyond.....Completing the main level is a gloriously sun-filled, well-sized eat-in kitchen, with deep silled bump out bay window, egress to the raised bed kitchen garden, and back stair to the primary en-suite, with stall shower. The upper level also includes an oversized hall bath with marble-topped vanity, lovely sconces, and large closet, along with three additional bedrooms, each with their own appeal. Outside, walk past the classic wishing well to the restored summer kitchen, with stunning walk-in fireplace (working), brick floor, electric and cable - so many potential uses for this delightful space! The detached two car bank garage is oversized and features a large dormered loft space with separate entrance, wood floors and electric, just waiting to be finished..... A number of recent, important infrastructure improvements have been made to this well maintained property - gorgeous standing seam metal roof on the entire home (2021), cedar shake roof on garage (2021), brand new furnace, hot water heater and laundry sink (all 2025), new exterior piping from house to septic system (2021) and chimney re-pointing (2023). Also included is a Generac whole house generator (propane), a fabulous Springdance hot tub with new cover and an outdoor shower! Come see all this amazing historic property has to offer its next lucky steward!!!
