Property Description
Welcome to 18th Century Sprucehaven Farm, on sprawling 7.2+/- acres in all its perennial glory. Most notably graced by its London Plane tree, the 6th largest in Pennsylvania.

Impressive Valleybrook entrance, a 315' long, flat setback befitting this stately property. Full length front porch. Charming center foyer fireplace & curved staircase. The hardwood floors throughout this home are magnificent. Authentic neutral colors on plaster walls w/ coordinating tones on woodwork & built-in cabinetry, deep sills throughout.

The approx 1/3 acre barnyard is intentionally outfitted with a special "dry lot" to prevent mud accumulation and erosion. Root cellar. Not one but two one acre (approx) pastures each with heavy duty no climb steel fencing with oak top boards and 4x4 post. Special pasture grass which grows early, faster, thicker, and deeper rooted.
