As a 34-year career real estate agent, I have seen and sold some fabulous homes; this home and property, the once named Penn Acres Plantation Home, is one of my favorites. To be spend time in this home, let alone have the privilege to sell is an honor. The established… Read More 1855 Penn Acres Plantation farm home was occupied over the years by iconic Medford families such as the Stokes, Haines, Peacock, Adams, Wilkins and Pennypacker's to name a few who have lived in and loved these amazing rooms. Gracefully on 2.937 acres of manicured grounds, foundation landscaping and black asphalt circular driveway help set this home on a very deserving pedestal. The Federal style home with its full front porch and double entry doors is stately and impressive with 3 stories of true living space that measures out as more than 5770 square feet. The spacious living areas include a long entry foyer with a main staircase,11-foot-high ceilings and historic hardwood flooring. The 2 rooms just off the foyer are a 27x16 gathering room and 19 x16 parlor. Both rooms have the special features that you will see though out the entire home, high ceilings, tall solid doors, new tall windows with the oversized wood moldings of yesteryear, and of course the original hardwood floors. The fun continues with the unique 10 x10 library just off the gathering room and the original 19 x17 foot dining room, off the South side entry foyer, that will easily accommodate a full extension dining table and all the accessory pieces. When spending time in this room, it is hard not to think of the conversations and decisions made in this very room over the past 170 years. The rear or West end of the home is where you might spend most of your family time. The massive space is just so inviting. The 24 x 24 cathedral room host the perfect kitchen for any cook that needs plenty or working space and still likes the family or guest enjoying the same space with wall-to-wall windows and patio doors. It is hard to top this area, but the features continue. Go sit by the warming fire to watch some TV in the brick and beam walled family room. Also off the kitchen on the North side is the pantry hall that leads you past the laundry area to the powder room. As you wonder the main floor and take in all the history and the modern improvements, note the 3 separate staircases that take you to 3 different second floor locations. The main foyer stairs bring you up the 2 largest bedrooms. The primary owner's suite utilizes over 500 square feet for its bed chamber, walk in closet and updated private bathroom with huge walk-in shower. The south side of the hall has a 20x16 room with a large closet. This room qualifies as the second largest bedroom of the 7-bedroom home, but it currently serves as the owner's home office. The very rear set of stairs that sidewinds off the first-floor family room goes up to two private bedrooms that have access to each other and a shared hall bathroom. These unique rooms may have been for a caretaker(s) at some time as I'm sure this plantation farm hosted many farmhands and guest over the years. The side or South foyer stairs not only stops at the second floor but also allows you to continue up to the 1200 square foot third floor that host 3 large bedrooms, 1 shared bathroom and a spacious open hallway. This 3rd floor does not have the high ceilings of the rooms below, but it still has the character of the historic, flooring, moldings and railings. All with the modern features of an updated bathroom and newer windows in every room. Any child or guest would easily enjoy this high view getaway. If you tour this home dont overllok spaces such as the full basement, the rear stone patios, and of course the 38 x 34 2 story detached garage/shop. Each space are read for you to utilize and enjoy right away. I hope this home tugs at your heart and you add your name as the next great caretaker of the Penn Acres Plantation. Read Less
