Hidden off a long country road, in the heart of beautiful Glenmoore,
Chester County, PA -- an area known for its gently rolling hills,
beautiful scenery, and protected open lands -- is this gracious,
private, beautifully positioned 18.6-acre historic country estate.
The 'James Moore House' is, in many ways, the quintissential
historic Chester County property. The main portion of the stone
manor house dates to 1757, with a later addition in the 1790's
... you'll love this graceful residence as much for its historic
charm and character as for its exceptionally peaceful, private,
well-protected setting.
The residence is filled with many original architectural elements,
including random width maple and poplar floors, plaster walls,
10' high ceilings, deep windowsills, six fireplaces with original
hearthstones ... even a rare, authentic "indian door".
The estate also includes a magnificent fieldstone barn and paddock
(ready for restoration), a 3-bedroom tenant house, a 2-bedroom
guest cottage, inground heated pool and spa ... and beautiful,
mature grounds with numerous towering shade trees, specimen plantings,
perennial gardens, fruit trees ... and a long, tree-lined gravel
driveway. There is ample acreage and rideout for horses.
A former "Chester County Day" tour home. Ideal as a
primary residence or weekend country house, and, for those who
love historic houses, an absolute must-see.
Extremely well-located -- just 5 minutes to the Downingtown Exit
of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Marsh Creek State Park, and Marsh
Creek Reservoir.
Very close to corporate centers in Exton, Great Valley, Malvern,
Chesterbrook, West Chester, and King of Prussia. Easy access to
Center City Philadelphia and the Main Line.
Recently featured in the Wall Street Journal as "House of
The Week".
Very attractively priced at $1.25 million, firm.
Shown by private appointment only.
All inquiries handled in confidence.
