PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

If you dream of a place with the intrinsic beauty of a historic house but with modern-day conveniences, this rare find offers both. Built in 1869 and known as the Schaeffer farmhouse, the home has been carefully stewarded through the years. Offering exceptional curb appeal from the street the property provides 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, gathering kitchen with center island, dining room, two staircases, 45 windows and a beautiful floorplan with large rooms, tall ceilings, deep windowsills, built-ins, and original wood floors throughout. Charming by anyone's measure, the house has an ease and comfort that comes from years of life and love dwelling there. Situated on over 2 acres bordered by 10 acres of protected land with stream, the house is perfectly married to its surroundings with sidewalks, mature shade trees, brick walkways, a paver patio with Colonial perennial walking garden, a firepit, half-court basketball with hoop, pavilion with four large picnic tables, a two-car detached garage, and an in-ground pool tucked privately in the rear corner. Perfect for entertaining but equally special when home alone, 825 N. Richmond offers public water, public sewer, gas heat, gas cooking, newer roof (2012), root cellar, asparagus patch, berry bushes, and fruit trees with plenty of sun-soaked areas for a vegetable garden. Offered for sale by the retiring long-term owners this one is not like any you have seen before or will see again. Tour this gem to fully appreciate and understand.
