My Owners are Moving!

It's such a sad time. My owners are starting to pack up and leave me. We have had such happy times together all these years. I am thankful that I was able to provide a home for them when they needed it most. The "kids" are all coming back next weekend to go through their stuff that they left behind. Since I have a completely floored walk up attic, there is still so much for them to go through.
But they have families and homes of their own now, so it is time for them to create their own memories, and one last time to spend time together in the family home.
To talk about the Christmas trees that they planted each year that are getting pretty large now, or remember when there was no grass or fence and you could run from one yard to another. Yes, it has been fun, but I'm ready for some new beginnings- aren't you?

I'm So Nervious That I am Shaking!

I think that the perfect family may have found me. I'm very nervous, you see I have only had one family live here and the times have been so wonderful. I really hope that my new family will enjoy living here as much as my owners have. Take a look and see why:

Oh no- They Just Lowered My Price! $350,000

I just found out that my owners lowered my price today to $350,000. I know that there is a family out there that would love to live here. It has always been such a happy place. I hope they find me soon.

Do You Like Hummingbirds? We have them!

Hummingbirds are beautiful birds that love red flowers and their sweet nectar. Many people use special feeders with sugar water to attract them, but they also attract bees. Our home has red honeysuckle and other strategically placed red mondara that they visit frequently!

Just imagine sitting at your kitchen table eating a meal while you watch these fast incredible birds quickly go from flower to flower to eat! They are so quick that it was difficult to capture them in this photo!

My owners just reduced the price of their home to $360,000 today. I know that another family will be very happy here. Could that family be you? Click on the link above to see the details! Take a look and you will fall in love!

Have You Ever Eaten a Tomato Fresh off the Vine?

Imagine the sweet, juicy flavor of a tomato that is still warm from the day's sunshine. My owners have spent years developing a productive vegetable garden. If you are that special family whom I am looking for to buy this home in the Chester Springs PA area, you will enjoy fresh vegetables this year!

My owners wanted a vegetable garden so they planted one. The first year they discovered that the soil was mostly clay so they had truckloads of fresh mushroom soil brought in to enrich it. ( This has been done every year.) My owners wanted to have an organic garden, and this has been successful, but with many challenges each year!

The first year they started all of the seeds indoors and lovingly planted them in the garden the beginning of May. The next morning they discovered that the groundhogs and rabbits ate each plant all the way down to the base while they were sleeping. So, it was determined that a fence needed to be built around the garden to keep the critters out.

Then they started using a trap to catch and release them. Each morning they would relocate the animals to a new home far away from the garden. (this always involved a car ride with those animals) Over time, that was no longer a problem.

Some seasons a particular plant was not successful for one reason or another, but they never used any type of chemical fertilizer or pesticide. To overcome the problem of weeds and keep moisture in the soil, a special mat is used all around the plants.

This year they planted heirloom tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant and basil. Some of the peppers are already to pick! So if you think that you might like to enjoy this vegetable garden this year and for years to come, take a look at me by visiting my realtor's site by clicking here

Young, But Rich with History of Upper Uwchlan

Although I am a young adult home for sale, I have features unlike any other of my age. My owners have a passion for history, and added some features making my property unique and historical.

Chester County PA was once filled with small farms and local businesses. Most of the area is abundant with beautiful fieldstone that was once used to define the property lines in Upper Uwchlan Township where I am located. My owners have watched the area change in the years since I was built. They wanted to preserve some of the history without changing anything in my structure.

They started out by hand selecting large fieldstone. Many of them were already on the property. This was time consuming and took several years. They they started building stone walls around the property with them- just like the early settlers did! Frequently people would stop and ask who made the wall and if they could get one too. Unfortunately, this was a labor of love, and my owners only did it here for me.

Before the days of Wawa and other local grocery stores, there was only one place to shop in Eagle- the Simpson's General Store. You could find anything there from milk to drill bits, and at one time even pick up your mail! This was a time when everyone in the township knew each other and would often stop and chat around the pot belly stove that heated the store in the winter.

When the current Village of Eagle was being created, the Simpson store was one of the first to be torn down. (there is a Blockbuster video in that location now.) My owners were fascinated with all of the old stone and brick that they intended to just remove and discard. Once given permission to take some, it was a race to get as much as they could before the demolition crew took it all away!

Even though I have a large deck with a hot tub, along with a lower deck outside the finished basement, my owners thought that a brick patio made with these "old bricks" would give the property more of a historical look. So they created it under the maple tree and then used stone to enclose it for privacy. You will find nothing else like it in the area! If you look closely at some of the bricks you can see early markings and even dates!

Soon after this my owners started collecting perennials that were native to this region, focusing on constant color from spring to fall. This allows them to have fresh cut flowers inside without having to go any farther than the back yard to get them!

They found themselves spending more and more time outdoors as the children became more independent and went off to college. Then another feature was created- a beautiful pond with a waterfall! This is right next to the patio, so you can sit on the bench or the swing while you are waiting for your food to cook on the BBQ grill. It looks like a spring coming right out of the rocks falling down into the pond that is filled with water lilies, fish,and even some frogs! It's peaceful and relaxing year round. Last year the water lilies continued to bloom into December!
