Description

"Gwynwood Farm" An Extraordinary Historic Fieldstone Farmhouse & Homestead. Circa 1700's "Gwynwood Farm" is a showcase property, a postcard-worthy, and captivates one with the allure of timeless irreplaceable elegance, charm, character, period details, and unique touches. A fieldstone farmhouse that has been impeccably restored and preserved with master craftsmanship. Gwynwood Farm is nestled on 5 acres and embraced by Gwynedd's splendor of nature's tranquility, a sought-after part of Montgomery County, Pa. The natural tranquility of this historic homestead is further enhanced by a bordering neighbor, a Wildlife Land Preserve of over 250+ acres that offers a boundless, serene, idyllic feel. Yet "Gwynwood Farm" is conveniently located to Philadelphia & enjoys the transportation gateway of Accela high-speed railway and interstate I-95 to Manhattan, Boston, and Washington metropolitan hubs, employment, and cultural centers. Along with the easy escape to vacation and the relaxation of NJ and Delaware beach towns. The Quaint villages of Skippack, Lederach, and Mainland are nearby, as are the downtown districts of Ambler, Lansdale, and Doylestown. Offering downtown shopping districts, parks, culture, artisan, professional services, entertainment, dining, & nightlife. "Gwynwood Farm" is a spectacular homestead with the field stone farmhouse as the centerpiece. It has passed through very few owners and has been for sale only once in the past 100 years. For the past 41 years, it has been under the loving stewardship of the current owners. The current owners purchased "Gwynwood Farm" to embark on a meticulous & loving journey of what would become their "prided & jewel residence". From sipping wine in their wine bar to hiking through the land preserve, they created lifelong memories alongside countless hours, months, and years of commitment and dedication to restore, preserve, & expand this magnificent homestead. Embracing a mindful discipline of maintaining its original charm, character, & craftsmanship while masterfully blending seamlessly the old with the new. Their plethora of major renovations continued for over 10 years and entailed a complete restoration & preservation of the original farmhouse that included hand hewn beams, exposing & repointing interior and exterior 2' thick stone walls, extensive custom millwork, wainscoting, custom built-ins, random width hardwood flooring, re-plastering interior walls & ceilings, and replacement of all mechanical systems - plumbing, electric, heating and HVAC systems. The kitchen was completely refurbished from the ground up with a new foundation, radiant heat flooring, abundant custom cabinetry, built-ins, a center island breakfast bar for morning coffee or meals-on-the-go, & SS appliances, the deep-set triple window provides a bird's eye view of the rear gardens & pool all of which combines to be any gourmet's delight. The two original walk-in stone fireplaces in the living & dining rooms were refurbished & offer perfect ambiance and cozy warmth on cold winter days as they did in centuries past. Finishes & decorating touches were applied with care, to keep with the time period while complementing the elegance, grandeur, charm, & character of these exceptional living spaces. Additions were carefully planned & executed. From seamless architecture & floor plan to hardware, millwork, doors, windows, flooring, finishes, & custom-built-ins. The charm, character, elegance, & timeless allure continue throughout by covered porches, Dutch and transom top etched glass doors, deep windowsills, wide planked random width wood flooring, beaded, crown and chair rail moldings, period built-up custom mantels, walk-in stone fireplaces, raised panel wainscoting, interior exposed stone walls, shuttered windows, all washed w/ natural daylight. This centerpiece is set on 5 acres of palatial parklike paradise!
