Property Description
If you want to be a part of history than you won't want to miss out on making this your new home. In the 1800's there existed an active business settlement known as Matthew's Corner in Chester Springs. It was a thriving complex including a general store, a post office, a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, a wheelwright and coach shop, along with a water powered saw and grist mill. It is believed that this residence was once the General Store and post office. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Matthew's Corner. While embracing its historical significance, the house is equipped with modern amenities including a library with built-ins and recessed lights, and enclosed porch, ceiling fans and a generator hookup. Other features are a walkout basement and detached garage with storage on the second floor. Buyer is responsible for all township required inspections and certs.
