The best of both worlds! Built in 1869 and known as the Schaeffer farmhouse, this property provides the character of the old with the conveniences of the new, all on a 2.14 acre lot with mature shade trees and a private back yard. Well maintained and updated the home is well recognized by the locals as the signature house of Fleetwood. Offering public utilities including gas heat, the 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath home features a light-filled modern country kitchen with farm sink, center island, Viking gas range, and custom cabinetry. The dining room is perfect for gathering and leads to the living room and family room with built-ins. Two staircases, 45 windows, 5 porches and a beautiful floorplan with tall ceilings, deep windowsills, and original wood floors add to the charm. Bordered by 10 acres of protected land with stream while situated for privacy, the house is perfectly married to its surroundings with sidewalks, brick walkways, a paver patio, perennial walking garden, a fire pit, 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. Ideal for entertaining the home has been the scene of many picnics and parties through the years. An additional benefit is having all Fleetwood schools within two blocks. Never drive to another practice and walk to concerts in the park, restaurants, the library and other boro businesses. Retiring owners loved their life here!
