It's not every day we see a historic home that has been so well cared for with so many kitschy, retro, and jaw-dropping elements intact — even after a remodel 77 years after it was built.
Founded in 1875 and surrounded by the 34-acre Sander Preserve, Cherry Hill Farm is one of a kind, and the purchase of this 5.85-acre property includes a 2,851 square foot main house, a 2,100 square foot two-story barn, and a 1,080 square foot carriage house, with a two-car garage, milk house, hen house, and dog house. In other words, that's a whole lotta house!
The main house, though, is a retro-lovers dream, as it was remodeled in 1952 — and you can tell, right down to the wallpaper, carpet, and light fixtures. The home has three bedrooms, three baths, and large rooms and 9-foot ceilings throughout the home. There's a parlor with original hardwood flooring and a three-season sun porch surrounded by windows and adding 240 square feet of additional living space. The formal dining and living rooms also feature hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. But it's the pristine kitchen and breakfast nook that steals the show with its Mid-Century Modern finishings thanks to a Mutschler Kitchen design, complete with a built-in L&H stove, countertops, and ample cabinetry.
The home has a balcony on the second floor that overlooks the grounds and the basement level features a partial kitchen, full bathroom, laundry room, and some other updated necessities like a furnace and hot water heater. But it doesn't end there.
Outside of the home has a built-in brick fireplace so you can take advantage of cooler temps. Then there's the heated two-car garage, the Carriage House, which served as a hobby garage, and the 70x30-foot barn with 30-foot ceilings, a milking parlor with 12 stalls, and a hayloft. The listing suggests the barn would be a great wedding venue and honestly, we want to get married here, have babies here, and pass the home down to those babies, who will have babies of their own.
