MARLA SCHECHTER

Description

Welcome to 51 Cowpath Road! This beautiful farmhouse, full of timeless charm and character, dates back to the early 1800s. While the home retains its historic craftsmanship—like the original deep windowsills and random-width hardwood floors—modern updates ensure comfort and convenience for today’s lifestyle. Updated windows, appliances, and centralized air conditioning allow you to feel right at home all year long. This property is ideal for multi-generational living, providing both privacy and personal space. The kitchen blends seamlessly with the home’s original ambiance and features honed granite countertops, a double oven, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A half bath, first-floor laundry with access to the home's original wine cellar, and a large walk-in pantry/storage room complete the kitchen area. The adjoining spacious dining room is perfect for family meals and gatherings. Also on the first floor is a cozy living room and a bonus area (or in-law suite) that includes a full bath and an additional summer kitchen. Upstairs, accessible via three staircases—including an enclosed spiral staircase—you’ll find five bedrooms. The owner’s suite includes a sitting/dressing area with ample closet space and a private en-suite bathroom. Each of the remaining bedrooms offers its own unique charm and character, giving everyone a space to enjoy, while a full walk-up attic offers additional storage. With a smart and flexible layout, the home easily accommodates multi-generational living. By simply closing a few doors, the main residence can be separated from the attached in-law suite/apartment, which has its own private entrance. This suite includes a full kitchen (originally the summer kitchen), a full bathroom, and separate laundry hook-ups. If you don’t need a separate living area, this space integrates seamlessly with the rest of the home, offering bonus living or entertaining space to suit your needs. Outside, you’ll find unique and original features such as a historic outhouse, a courtyard-style patio, and an outdoor beehive oven—one of only a few remaining in the area. The barn offers expansive storage on both levels, and the carriage house, now a two-car garage, provides additional enclosed space. Love outdoor entertaining? This home has it all. The in-ground heated pool and pool house (once a chicken coop) offer summertime fun for everyone. The pool house is a fully finished 1,200-square-foot living space that includes a full bath, kitchenette, two large entertaining areas, and an indoor storage room. It’s a perfect option for another in-law suite or apartment, a home-based office, or a guest house for visiting friends and family. Sitting on a 3.56-acre lot, which includes open space, wooded areas and a stream, the possibilities are endless for exploring, planting gardens or even a few chickens or small farm animals. Adding to the appeal is its convenient location—just minutes from shopping, dining, and other amenities, as well as easy access to the PA Turnpike and Route 309, making it an ideal choice for commuters and travelers alike.
