Property Description
Fox Meadow Farm has retained all of the grandeur intended by Phillip Kauffman when he built this lovely Georgian-Colonel in 1811. Throughout its history and multiple upgrades, the home has not lost any of its charm. It is located in the quiet, country setting of Mohrsville in Berks County and surrounded by beautiful, pristine farmland, which can be viewed and enjoyed from the strategically placed windows in every room. Enter the residence through the gracious center hall that has classic moldings and wainscoting to welcome you and your guests. There are 9 ft. ceilings and pine and hardwood floors throughout the residence. The oversized living room has a stone fireplace and enough room for more than one conversational grouping. The large dining room, which also has a fireplace is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. There is a cozy den to build a fire and curl up to watch a movie or read your favorite book. Up the beautiful wide staircase there is an exceptionally large hall that can accommodate furniture for a quiet chat or a desk if you work from home. There is a gracious master suite, with a full bath, that has a fireplace and plenty of room for a sitting area, a dressing room or to accommodate a renovated, oversized master bath if that is your wish. For the whimsical among us, there is a back staircase for a quick exit from the residence. The other three bedrooms and full bath are all well appointed- with lots of built-ins, as is true throughout the whole house. On the third floor there is a full bath, and two large bedroom spaces or it could be a little ones playroom or a young ones retreat. There is a full unfinished basement that cries to be converted to a wine cellar. There is a whole house generator in case of power outages. Outside the property boasts 17 +acres, a 10 stall bank barn,which was built in 1792, a finished office with heat, a wood burning stove, plumbing and a bath, as well as a fully restored working stone and cedar springhouse. There is generous storage on the second floor of the barn. You'll find an in-ground swimming pool and a lovely stone patio, very handy to the estates kitchen and a perfect place for entertaining or enjoying a country weekend with family and friends. This is a very special property and can fulfill a dream of having just the right home in the country. It is located 2 hours from New York, and 1 hours from Philadelphia. Serious inquiries only.
