Cape Cod, Contemporary

Pass a historic mill on a long scenic lane to 1219 Fairville Rd. This premier property is in the heart of Pennsbury Township and is situated on 18 acres of what was originally part of the Haskell family holdings at the Pennsbury Mill. This property provides stunning views from every window and provides absolute privacy. The main house, built in 1978 and completely renovated in 2013, was thoughtfully constructed so owners could fully indulge in the tranquil natural surroundings. This one-of-a kind home lives large and is appointed with premium finishes and amenities throughout. Through new custom divided-light windows and French doors, the sounds of nature are just steps away. Enter into the dramatic center hall with soaring ceiling and skylights, ending in a quiet conservatory. To the left of the main entrance find the grand living room with vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. French doors open to the sprawling deck with natural wood and branch railings and overlook a pond and stream that feeds the Mill. To the right of the main entrance is a comfortable family room. Continue through to the mudroom with antique brick flooring and barn wood paneling and onto the state-of-the-art Waterbury Chef’s kitchen. This heart of the home features custom cabinetry, soapstone counters, Wolf 6-burner cooktop, double oven & warming drawer, Subzero fridge, Asko dishwasher and large open dining room. Two luxurious suites sit at the rear of the home. The primary suite offers large walk-in closets/dressing room and Waterbury en suite with Victoria & Albert soaking tub and double vanity, and Italian mosaic tile floor, shower and water closet. A formal office with paneling and fireplace and powder room completes the main level. Downstairs find a second suite, sitting/play room, second office with built-ins and large walk-out game room with wet bar. Through French doors, access the large bluestone patio with fire-pit and walkway to the guest cottage. The secondary guest cottage was renovated in 2008 from the original Amish bank barn. This cottage features a 4th suite, vast great room with vaulted ceiling and kitchenette and is perfect for work-from-home requirements or any number of needs. An oversized 3-bay garage and storage building was constructed in 2014.
