Colonial charm meets timeless character in Chester Springs at Saint Matthews Place farm! Located at 1169 Saint Matthews Road in West Vincent Township, this one-of-a-kind historic home dates back to the 18th century and beautifully blends its original architecture with thoughtful additions completed in 1980 and the 2010. Set on 7.4 acres, the 3,614 square foot home features a front sitting patio and a large enclosed brick patio overlooking the backyard and pastures—perfect for entertaining and tranquility. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, with both levels showcasing distinctive architectural character enhanced by hardwood and tile flooring throughout. A bright sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows/sliding doors and a classic brick floor overlooks picturesque scenery. A spiral staircase leads to a loft featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcase. All three bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms—the loft offers a half bath, while the remaining two feature full baths. A third full bath is on the main level off the living room, complete with a standing shower and separate bathtub with a tub rail. The home also includes convenient laundry on both the main level and in the basement. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive outdoor amenities, including a large bank barn, built with local stone that features 10 stalls, a tack room, a blanket room, a tool room, a half bath, and extensive upper-level storage for feed, farm equipment or carriages. The barn opens directly into one of two pastures, which together feature four run-in sheds and a feeding trough. The approximate acreage of the two pastures together equals approximately 4.6 acres of open land. The property also includes the original one-car garage as well as a newer oversized three-car garage, along with two separate driveways—one serving the home and one the barn. This exceptional property offers timeless character, functional space, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
