Property Description
OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED for SUNDAY, MAY 19.... Horsham Twp - over 5 acres! Character and charm of yesteryear in this historic farmette called Melody Lane Farm! Class II historic home sits in the middle of the parcel - set back from the road - originally a church with rich history built circa 1800. Current owner has 2 goats and chickens! There's a barn with a carport and chicken coop and stables -- you'll think you are in the country....but around the corner is a movie theater, shoppes/restaurants at English Village and a short drive to the turnpike. Let's start with the historic home - inviting front porch with a swing, foyer entrance with slate floor leads to spacious, bright living room (which back in the day was the church sanctuary). Old world charm is evident with the floor to ceiling brick, walk-in fireplace (wood burning and it works!) Take special notice of the small metal door on the fireplace - it was used to heat blankets long ago. More evidence of yesteryear - random width oak floors, deep window sills, built-in shelves, plantation shutters on the windows! Efficient kitchen with modern amenities - Bosch dishwasher, nice counters and cabinets including a pantry style one with pull-out drawers, tile backsplash, engineered vinyl floor and a working corner fireplace. There's a Dutch door to the backyard - another symbol of the era! Formal dining room, with chair rail, crown molding and wood floor is perfect for those special occasions. Another Dutch door from the dining room leads to an addition done in the 1950's (at that time it was used for Sunday school classes). As you step down to this area, you'll pass 2 closets and a quaint set up with a vintage school desk and clothing hooks for coats! There's a first floor primary bedroom, full hall bath and if you work from home, there's a great office with wrap around counter style desks, built-in cabinets and drawers and huge storage closets. The upper floor has 3 additional bedrooms and full hall bath. Plenty of storage in the walk-up attic (which is accessed in one of the bedrooms). Basement has new sump pump and laundry area. Now what about the farmette?? There's a huge barn with electricity, an attached carport and chicken coop! A 4 stall stable currently houses the 2 goats and has a fenced barnyard. The grazing fenced area for the goats is huge - located behind the stable, it continues around to the side of the property. Do you love to garden? This area has raised beds and a picket fence to keep the deer out! There's also a fenced area off the kitchen for the dog to run and play! Properties like this rarely come on the market, esp in Horsham Twp! Make your appointment today. Be sure to check out the virtual tour!
